Default What offset for 18X9 and 18X11 wheels? Custom wheel orders chime in !! w/ pics pleas

i know theres a sticky but its rather confusing. I know there are a few members here with custom wheels. I will be getting a a hookup with Jlinewheels.com on some 18" custom wheels.


I am looking to get some 18X9's up front and 18X10's with 315's in the rear

the wheel design that im considering is this one right here the



if you guys can point me in the right direction that would be great. THANKS !

From the sticky. The first number is the width of the wheel. The second two show the range of acceptable offsets. The last one is the size tire that will fit on that wheel.

Front

9.0" ..... +38 to +56 mm .... 255, 265, 275

REAR Only

11.0" ... +45 to +56 mm .... 305, 315, 335

The offset you go with will depend on how much the wheel/tire sticks out from the fender. Offset is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the center of the wheel. Thus the higher the offset the more wheel/tire there will be inside the fender.

Seems a popular offset for guys running the 17x11's is 50mm. Im sure some one actually with a set will chime in here

Ask the wheel company that you plan to buy from. Make them work for those high dollars that you are potentially spending.
