You need to know how wide the wheels are. In general I would shoot for a 40mm offset or backspacing. The lower the offset number the more the wheel will stick out and the higher the offset number the more the wheel will go into the wheel well.



Post counts don't mean a thing if you don't know what you are talking about.

i understand all that, and +40 would be for a set of street wheels and tires. I am looking at Welds 15x8 with 24.5" slicks. Thanks for the input, but not the direction I needed.

already bought 4" backspacing wheels
