    38 offset is prob the lowest you can go before you rub the quarters. I will be running 18x9.5 38-45 offsetout back and 17x8 40-45 offset, rota, rays, enkis or something

    But on the R the R6s which are almost 275 large with a 35 offset where slightly rubbing, they said. So if you take 35 offset on real 255s, maybe it's going to work. Maybe...

    The 818R that has been tested runs a 9" wide wheel so the offset of a 9.5" wide wheel is different. If you run a 7" wide wheel on the rear you could run a +10 offset if you really wanted to. Remember offset is only a part of the equation, wheel width is the other part.

    Darn right!!! I totally forgot about the 9".

    Anyone knows the offset difference between 2 wheels that have 0.5" width difference in order to keep the center of the wheel at the exact same place?

    I don't know if you understand why I mean.


    Ok found this from someone here : http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator
