    Default Maximum offset

    Hi guys,

    Newbie here

    Does anyone know what the maximum offset is that I can put on my new toy... aka 6MPS?

    I assume from googling that the bigger the offset, the closer the outside of the wheel will be to the guard. What I mean, is that I hate it when you see cars that have nice wheels but the sit like 2 inches inside of the guards, when they could be nice and flush with guards, by the use of wheel spacers, orbetter yet by the right offset wheel.

    I am looking at lowering with kings lows, and getting a nice set of 18's, or maybe spraying mine black.

    Cheers

    Other way around - lower offset pushes the wheel further out. The maximum offset you can use is the OEM wheel offset of +52.5
    spacers not a good ideal. Not legal in qld anyway...
    +48 and 225 sit out a little further
    +45, 8"wide rims and 235 would probably get what you're after with some gaurd rolling to keep things clear...
    I wouldn't go any lower than +45, though.

    Search is your friend
    Discussed often.
    Usually ends up in an argument between those that like safe cars and good handling vs. those that only care about looks

    18x8 with +45 offset usually means guard rolling time if lowered or carrying weight

    18x8 +45 with 235 tyres will fit flush with the edge of your guards

    I"d probably go lower than +45.
    I'm running 19x8.5 wide rims with +45 offset but still not sitting that flush with the guards.
    I've got 235/35 19 tyres- yes i had to roll the rear guards.
