Hey I'm about to buy a set of 22x9.5 wheels for my 96 Impala SS. Wanted to go with 13mm off up front and 20mm off in the rear. From what I've searched on other peoples combos I've found that they ran anywhere in the medium offset range. Really like these wheels as I'm selling these 24's as I want deep dish action.

Ok, I' m thinking I' ll be be find, but I got a call from my dad that has me second guessing myself, I just want to make sure here.
I just bought a set of 17X9.5' s for the front, and 18X10.5' s in the back, gonna throw some 295's on the rear. The 18' s have a 56mm offset. I' m going to roll the fenders, and massage the bumpstops. Will I have any clearance issues anywhere after this?

Cool thanks, sounds simple enough. I' ll probably roll the quarters anyway, because I' ll buy another set of springs and drop the rear. The way it sat before I removed the worn Eibachs, it would have been damn close! Thanks again for the tip!

Looking for some help cuz I have no clue when it comes to rim offset's, etc. I'm looking for a deep rear Lip rim. RPM Alloy Wheels offer an 18x9 with an offset of 20mm (it should have more lip then the 38mm, right?) question is how much do I need to narrow my rear end, which I'm about to order soon.

I'm going crazy here. SO, I'm going with Billet Specialties Pro Touring Le Mans 18x8 with 255 Nitto 555 45 18's on the front and 18x10 with MT 305 35 18 drag radials on the back. I have adjustible 12 way suspention all around and currently the front is dropped an inch from the previous owner. Far as I know the rear is stock height but want to drop the *** to even it out. I'm looking to figure my offsets out once and for all so I can get a decent night sleep. Please help, I want them to fit perfectly all around (just like everyone else)
I'm not opposed to the BFH mod to the rear.
Thank you.

Sure a 20 mm should have more lip than a 38 mm . . . but it will not fit without narrowing the rear end . . . and is it worth the expense to narrow the rear less than 1/2" each side? . . .

2 questions. 18x10.5 +20mm offset 6.5 backspace and 18x9 with a 35mm up front fit on on an 02 TA or will it stick out?
18x9.5 with +35mm offset and 18x8.5 +35mm should fit fine?
18x9.5 with +35mm offset and 18x8.5 +35mm should fit fine?

I have a 2000 trans am im looking to buy a set of 18" wheels. The fronts are 18X8.5 with +38 offset and the rears are 18X9.5 with a offaset of +40 What tires would be the best to run on these without doing a bfh of fender roll? I have wife and 2 kids in car sometimes so didnt know if these wheels were the right size or if I should go with 17's and if so then what size tires for those and what offsets to look for

Wheel size and offsets in 18's are fine . . .
Front - 245/40R18
Rear - 275/35R18
Should not need to do anything with the quarter lips.
