Question for you "Offset" experts

How will a 18x10.5 wheel with a 54mm offset for the rear sit? Flush, outside the wheel well, or just in the wheelwell? I hear 50mm is prefect, thats why i ask. Thanks

It will still tuck inside the wheel-well.

It will fit, ad Madice said still tucked in, but will require less if no BFH compared to the 58 mm offset version.

50 is perfect for the 17x11's not sure what it is for the 18x10.5

OK thanks... So I am assuming then, that the 54mm offset is prefect for a 10.5 wheel

Are you going for a custom made wheel or an existing one???

10.5" wheels work witha 38 all the way down to a 58 . . . just matters the look you are going for . . .

Flush you want as close to 38 with out going numerically smaller. . .

Tucked in, 58 or numerically smaller . . .

Then everything between works . .
