Help with offset

Ok I have read the Stickys and I can't find any place where it talks about wheel offset. I want to purchase Rota Subzero's but the offset is 48mm, are these going to fit on my car? I have asked 1FSTMAX about his wheels and he said they fit fine. So can anybody else tell me they will fit? I have a 4th Generation

Also if anybody wants to get in on a group deal I'm buying these from a car shop in Virginia Beach who posted on another website. So if anybody wants some Rotas PM me.

Thanks in advance

they will fit but I would get lower offset. How wide are the Subzeros?

Use an offset between 30-40mm. Anything higher will leave the wheels too tucked in with that narrow size.

I have a set of 18" GramLights on my 5th gen, and the offset is a +40. Even at that, they seem to sit too far in the wheel well. I'd try and get something, like Ammi said, with a little bit lower offset. I'm probably going to get spacers for mine to bring down the offset.

I think the rota subzeros come with an offset of 45 also. I plan on getting 17's with that offset. If they are too tucked in, i will get 5mm spacers. I like the subzeros too and don't really want to look for other wheels.

I like Subzeros as well...but was also considering Actions because they come in 17x7.5 +35mm et which is probably a better fit than that of Subzero's 17x7.5 +45mm et.

Anyways, it would be awesome if we could get a group deal going on Rota's. So far, the lowest prices I've seen w/o a GD are at http://www.machiii.net

Well I have some bad news for you boys, I called a company called GTMWheels (www.gtmwheels.com) and they told me that Rota stopped/is going to stop making the subzero's. I wanted 18' bronze subzero's and they told me that they only have 7 of them left and I have to decide if I want them tomorrow, but I dont know about 17s, you guys should call them they gave me a great price!
