15" rims offset

[xa0o]

I found a set of rims on craigslist for a good price, they are 15x7 with an offset of +45, my question is the offset too high? I know most of you guys are running 40s, is 5 mm that much of a difference?

[Flashmn]

Yeah sounds high, I'm running 35mm offset.
45mm offset is the one you get in the stock 5.5" wide rims.

That's a bit too high considering the width of the wheels.

You'll probably end up rubbing the suspension.

that's quite a drag.


while we're on the subject, is an offset of 40 good for 17" rims too? will it rub indefinitely without rolling the fenders?

[PhatRoyale]

Depends on the width.

They can either make or break the fitment.

i picked up a set of tein htech springs the other day. That means my car will be lowered only 1.2 inches in the front. Will 17" x 6.5 rims with an offset of 40 rub?


I'm thinking 15" might be a little small and 16" is hard to find and the tires cost more. so it's either 15 or 17.

Those wheel specs look okay
