    What offset???...............

    I am looking at having some 16 inch wheels made up. I want to run 225 45 16 on all for corners. My current set up is 16x9, et 15 x 4 with 225 46 16. The fronts stick out a little too much. What would be my best option? I do not want to stretch. Just good solid fitment. I need info on offset to make this work. I f it could work. I do not want to use spacers if I can help it. Thats why I having the wheels made. Any suggestions? Thanks guys................G.

    A good example of perfect fitment is the Rota Slipstream. It's 16x8 ET20 and fits a 225/45 tire with just a average rear fender roll.

      Right now I'm running Schmidt Modernline 1pc, 16x9, et 15, 4x100 with center ring x 4. Are you saying et 20 would work? Would you recommend another size??? 16x7, et 15/20 up front with same tire size? By the way, thanks for your help.

        well, however far they stick out you know what offset you should run with a x9.

        I would run about +25 but it depends on how aggressive you want to go.

            You won't be able to run any higher offset in a 16x9 without hitting your strut tube. A 16x8 et15 or 10 qulouks look dope and fit well.
