To fit 18X7 what offset is needed. GEN2?

[Wangan]

I'm going for the the VIP look and I need bigger rims than my 17's. I figure 18's would be perfect to fill out the wheel wells plus the rim I want I belive comes in 18x7 as it's smallest size. I just need to know what offset I'll need. Thanks guys. They're "WORK Varianza D3S" wheels if anyone is wondering. I am willing to do a slight fender pull to make it work if necessary.

Thanks again

YOU DELIVER EVERYTIME!

this will work with my KYB struts?

Also will I need to do a fender pull or not?

also do you know what size tire I'll be able to fit in there?



can't wait till my camry is sitting on these wheels.

You should be able to do 225 tires on there if you can get a 38mm offset. They should fit fine with the KYBs. You might end up wanting to put a small spacer on the back and rolling the rear fenders to really get them nice and flush. The fronts may also need a bit of a roll, but nothing serious.

Good luck!

PS. I'll be doing 17's on the Alltrac to fit the big ST205 brakes... I still want a bit of tire for daily driving.

thanks alot man. I'm keeping the basket weaves for drag radials. But when I get bigger brakes I dunno if they'll work. anyway time to start saving for these wheels and bodykit + paint. Do you know if a 38 offset will give me much lip though? If not I may stick with the 17" size and go wider with different offsets.

another thing I'm going to try to avoid using spacers. How bout if I go with 18X8 in back what offset and tire can I run. I know with an 8" wheel back there I'll definitly have to roll the fenders or get them pulled out a bit.

You pretty much have to choose between lip and big brakes. I have Work Termist's on my WRX:



And they don't even have room behind them for the earlier STi 4-pot/2-pot brakes... But they do have like 2.5" of lip even with the 47mm offset.

You may want to go by a really good rim shop and have them size up the car to see exactly what would fit. I'm not planning on pushing my luck so I can't help you much more... I'm just going to do 17x7" with a 38-40mm offset and 215/40/17 tires.

thanks anyway. I'm planning on going to a rim shop to get some exact measurements but I figured that I'd atleast have an idea of what to tell them I heard may work and their opinion. thanks alot though.

I want some works too but the ones show in the pic up there. They are the Varianza D3s.
