RIMS Offset Advice

[macdarwin]

I searched about +35 no luck, I read the Xenonk Version and I did not understand it since I suck on Math...so

 

about to get a FN01RC 17x8 +35 soon (hopefully) wrapped with 225/45/17.

 

Wil I run in any fitment issues? rubbing?

 

I have ION springs and Stock struts.

I currently have 18x8 +48 (225/40/18) and no rubbing issues at all.

hopefully I dont need to do a fender rollin'!

 

Pls advice before I do this deal!

 

thanks.

Based on Xenonk's guide, for 8" rim the suggested offset is +43mm to +51mm offset, +53 is closest to stock. so, going with +35. Yes, you will have fitment issues and need to roll the fenders

Depends on how low you are and what your camber is, but you'll probably rub with stock fenders.

 

I had to roll my fenders and cut some plastic in the wheel well to fit 18x8 +35 with 225/40's

when you say plastic, do you mean the liner? or the lip of the bumper/front of the fender that is plastic

I ran 225's last summer, but I'm on stock suspension. If my car was lowered an inch or more, it would definitely have rubbed, especially with any load or over lumpy roads.

 

Pics for reference, 225/45/17 on 17x7, +35 offset.
