Rim Offset

[azureblaze]

Hi~ anyon advice me. I'm gonna put 225/45/18 tire with 18x8 wheel to my new A/C.Problem is that wheel I look for is only have +47 offset.Original A/c comes 45 offset and some professionals said +47 is no problem at all. Is that right?What about 225/45/18 tire to 18x7 +40 offset, is it better? Isn't tire too squished?

Normally, I would say 245mils wide for a 8" rim, but I would put a 235/45-18 on a wheel that size for your car since it has a bit of sidewall, too.

A +47mm offset is just fine, but it obviously won't look as aggressive as one with a slightly lower positive offset.

Thanks for informations. one more question!Do they use wheel spacer to make aggressive when offset over +45?What do you think use spacer?

Wheel spacers can be used for that purpose, but I suggest you never use them.They are more often used for clearing aftermarket big brake calipers. If you're looking for a more aggressive stance, consider a slightly lower positive offset so you don't have to invest in wheel spacers and aftermarket studs.
