wheel offset confusion
Okay guys, I've read so many threads on this forum regarding wheel offsets that I've gotten confused and at this point, don't know what the correct offset is. Please help with the following questions and thanks in advance.
1.)what are the oe wheel offsets front and rear?
2.)if I want to go with staggered 18x7or7.5 and 18x8 what offsets would I use if I don't want to roll the fenders?
3.)if I decide to go with 18x7.5 all the way around what offsets without rolling the fenders?

Re: wheel offset confusion (TL1000R)
1. 55/65
2.
Front:
7.0" wheel: +42 offset (205 tires)
7.5" wheel: +48 offset (205, or 215 tires)
8.0" wheel: +54 offset (205, 215, or 225 tires)
Rear:
8.0" wheel: +40 offset (225 or 235 tires)
8.5" wheel: +46 offset (235 or 245 tires)
3. don't even think about it... if you want the same width all around go with 9" and run 245's or 255's all the way around...
F 9.0" wheel: +67 offset (225, 235, or 245(?) tires)
R 9.0" wheel: +53 offset (235, 245, or 255 tires)
**By the way these are minimum offsets... so any numbers higher will be fine also...**

Re: wheel offset confusion (papa5murf)
each wheel is different. i would run a staggered setup though. 7.5 in the rear is little. we can get +63 9'' rear volks

these offsets are "minimum" offsets... depending on what tires you run will vary on if you rub or not.... for instance on the 17/18x7 +42.. if you run 205's you will not rub... however if you run 215's you will more then likely rub...
i'm runing 17x7 +42 emotions up front and i'm slammed... (no fender roll) and i'm not rubbing.. however i'm running 205's.. if i was running 215's or 225's.. i know i would rub with my drop.....(hense the reason i'm getting wider fenders)

NO... the rears will work but you have to run a 225 or 235 tire... which is pointless...
