pretty useless question with out the size of the wheel.

There is a bit of clouded clarity in this thread. Here is what you need exactly in minimalistic mathematical terms without taking into consideration some wheel designs which allow you to get away with slightly higher offset.

15 & 16 inch wheels (+35) POSITIVE offset. Check Spoon SW388 wheels specifications as a reference for optimum running wheelbase/configuration setup. | The higher the number, the more you need in terms of running spacers to get it to clear. General note - The lower the offset, the more the wheels stick out of the car as well.

+35 is perfect offset... Dont go above +38 or you need spacers.

Hi guys,

It really depends on the design (style) of the wheel you are fitting. Clearance of brake calipers are not clearly dependant offset. Hence JDM DC5R has +60 and still clears brembos?
