I'm looking for some help understanding some basic wheel terminlogy. I want to purchase some Falken Wheels the Torque 5 to be exact. I was hoping to get 18x7.0 with an offset of 42MM for the front and 18x8.0 with an offset of 35MM for the back. Those are the only offset they provide for those widths. I ran a wheel offset calculator and it can up with these results:The 18x7.0 says the clearance from the strut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 8MM LESS, and Outside edge of the wheel will extend an extra 4MM.With the 18x8.0 says that the clearance will be 14MM LESS and extend an extra 24MM.Will that be suitable for a '96 240sx SE, or will it rub the suspension components. Please help someone clueless about this stuff.Thx in advance.
