Need Info On Offsets!

[Jamie88]

Hey guys I still havent figured out the whole offset game. Im sure there is a topic done somewhere if there is point me in the right direction. Does more offset mean the wheels sit further out from the hub or the other way around. I just want it explained briefly so I can go about getting some new wheels. Looking to get some 9 inch rear 8 inch front on 33 gtst. What offset should I be looking at to play it safe without rolling guards/flaring etc. Any help would be sweet.

lower the offset the further it sticks out so +12 and +20

the +12 will stick out 8mm more

right now my car has 18x8 +38

18x9 +38

this is lowered on coilovers, the front is much more sunken then the rear so i guess something like 18x8 +25 18x9 +35 would be ok if u dont want guard work.

best is to test fit before handing over the money

Excellent thats all I needed. Thanks for your help mate! So 38 all round is a pretty safe bet for 33 gtst? With coilovers?

Pretty sure that will be rubbing on the coilovers on the front, not to mention will look super gay.

I suggest you look into wheel offsets a bit more and find out what looks good on an R33. Offset can make or break the look of your car and +38 is definitely not going to cut it!
