Help....weels Size

[Fargo]

Hi Guys ( & gals)

just after some confirmation from those in the know Re wheel sizes.

i currently have 225/40/18 tyres on an 18x8 rim with a 35 offset. these are catching the rear arches, even with the arch being rolled and with only one person in the back,, and with standard (SE) suspension setup.

Im looking at replacing with 225/40/18 tyres on an 18x8 rim running a 42 offset.. can anyone tell me if this will clear the arch.

I have looked at THIS thread and it looks like i can but i would like to make sure..

Also can someone explain to me what the pyhsical difference of the offsets are.. ie 35 & 45 offset..

thanks for your help

Hi Fargo, I run a 8.0 x 18" rim on the rear, 44mm offset with 245/35/18's, 60mm lower than standard and it never catches, even with a full car. The exhaust on the other hand.............. :)

so what it really comes down to is the offset. and 35 is too much it would seem
