    Question about wheels and offset?

    Looking to get some 16x7,16x7.5 wheels, but im not sure about the offset. Im fairly new to this, and do not particularly know what offset i want/need. Gunna be running blistens and Stage 3's if that helps.
    Thanks,
    Mitch

        Well that would depend on the offset of the actual wheels

          20mm offset for a 7.5" wheel would be great for front. IMO, 10-15mm in the rear would be a lot more flush.

              It all depends on the offset of the actual wheel. You can't just throw a spacer onto a wheel and expect the same result.

              What if you were to throw a 20mm spacer onto a 0 offset wheel???

                I was referring to offset, not spacer size. 10-15mm offset for a 7.5" rear wheel would be very nice. At least on my car, which runs 3 degrees of neg. camber.

                  Actually 20mm offset would be very nice, 10-15 is a little too low

                    I personally wouldn't mind an extra 5mm. 10 may be a bit much, I agree.
