Default Wheel info needed.

Buying a set of TT2's for a 02 ceta. Running goodyear eagle 275/40/zr18 F1 GS tires.

They are 9.5 in wheels & I can get one with 6.75 BS, 38mm offset, or another with 7.25 BS, 51mm offset. Can someone with more experience in this field advise which would be the best fit for normal driving conditions? I don't want to have to modify anything. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I believe you should be fine
Bolt Pattern

5 x 4.75" or 5 x 120.65 mm

The numbers in the columns are as follows:

WIDTH ..... OFFSET ......... WIDTH OF TIRE

Front and Rear

7.0" ..... +35 to +40 mm .... 215, 225, 235
7.5" ..... +35 to +45 mm .... 215, 225, 235
8.0" ..... +38 to +55 mm .... 225, 235, 245
8.5" ..... +38 to +45 mm .... 235, 245, 255
9.0" ..... +38 to +56 mm .... 255, 265, 275
9.5" ..... +38 to +56 mm .... 255, 265, 275, 285
10.0" ... +38 to +48 mm .... 265, 275, 285

REAR Only

10.0" ... +38 to +54 mm .... 275, 285, 295
10.5" ... +38 to +50 mm .... 285, 295, 305, 315
11.0" ... +45 to +56 mm .... 305, 315, 335

NOTE: 315 series tires DO NOT fit 9" or 9.5" wheels. It will not be discussed.

Either one will work fine, Go with the +51 offset if you want the wheels to have a tucked in look, +38 if more of a flush look is what you want.
