wheel offset - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I am getting 17" wheels soon, and really like the stagger offset look. For example UfoZ's camry and I believe scweet's had it also. Does anybody know what offsets they had?

The wheels I am getting are 17x7. I am looking at 42 in the front and 35 or 32 in the rear. Fenders will be rolled also. What do you guys think as far as fitment goes?

PM megamag83. hes got a stagered look but actually the same width and offset.

but thoes offsets you listed will fit fine on the gen3.

the reason i want the different offset is for more lip on the back. I really like the look of UfoZ's setup.

fitment will be miserable...
get +35 all around ... might want a 5mm spacer in the rear at that

8"wide +35 with a spacer in the back on my car was gonna be almost 100% flush

did you PM megamac83?. im almost positive he has the same width and offset but has a different size lip. basically the spokes contact the rim in a different location further back making them look liek they are wider and have a different offset.

How will the fitments be miserable exactly? I didn't know you had wheels. And exactly what do you mean by almost, stick out, tucked in slightly?
I plan on getting 7" wide wheels, don't know if they are available in 8"wide.

if they are only 7" wide then thoes offsets will fit. you shouldnt even need to roll the fenders.

ok so i have been playing around with this site: http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp
The first setup I use is the oem 15" steel wheel at 15x6 45mm running 205/65/15 tire. Comparing to the specs of the HPD wheels I want which are 17x7.5 and only available in two offsets 42 and 20. Comparing the 20 offset, the site says I will have no problems with suspension or fender clearance and will have a 1.6" lip, which I want a nice lip.
What do you guys think?

miserable in the sense that it will be too sunken in ... and since you want a big lip, the more flush the better so you can optimize lip size - so to speak

if you cant get something wider, then get lower offset ... for any decent wheel company, they make the lip larger for lower-offset and wider wheels, so you get the idea

but as far as clearance goes, you wont have any problems - i highly recommend rolling the rear fenders regardless of what sizes/offsets you get just because its a fairly simple procedure and will save your tires from damage, in addition to allowing you to have a better range of wheel/tire size selections

best of luck in whatever your choice is tho - as far as those 17x7.5 +20s, you will definitely have to roll the fenders but they would probably look great fitment-wise

I hope they will fit, cuz if I order them and they don't then I am screwed.
