so my new rims came in yesterday and im stuck on that questions again...
215/40 or 215/35 sigh'''''''''"""
18x8 +48 - is that a snug fit with coils? trying to get ALMOST flush fitment - but still wanna be safe.. =/
+48 wont get you close to flush fitment.
and very tight fit with coil.s
+48 is too far out? ah shit.... how about 18x7.5 +45?
+48 is too far in. stock is +45..
the lower the offset the further out your wheel is.
+38 should be flush or +35?
think there is something in he sg forums about what offset you can have with FDs before you start hitting into troubles
i know someone in sg has +27
How is the offset set?
Is it done with spacers in between the hub and the rim?
Do different rims have different offsets already built in?
Sorry for the dumb questions!
Offset is, simply, the distance between the face of a vehicle wheel which mates with the hub and the true centreline of the wheel. Offset can be positive, negative or zero. It is important because it affects the scrub radius of the steering system, the clearance between the tire and the suspension and the load on suspension components.

you can buy rims with different offsets. each individual rim is manufactured with a variety of offsets. You just need to choose this offset is the right one for your car or to your liking.
If you bought a rim with an offset that doesn't fit (ie hitting your suspension) you can always use spacers to push them out (meaning lowering the offset of that rim). So +45 offset with a 10 mm spacer will make the rim become +35 offset (there are lots of different size spacers)
Spacers are bolt onto OEM hub and the rim is bolted onto the spacer.
Something like this

Spacers are also used for making the rims more 'flush' with the fenders of the vehicle, however some are doubtful of the safety of using spacers
yeah. spacers can get u fines up here in qld
