my head is spinning from all the threads and posts i've just read on wheel offset. it still throws me for a loop every now and then! anyway, regarding the 4th gen, is there an ideal offset that will offer the best look and proper handling? it seems that most of what i came across suggested that an offset of +40 is acceptable. is there a range of offsets that are a good guideline? are there offsets that should be avoided or are less desireable? i understand that wheel width plays a factor as well; i'm just looking for a good guideline to go by. thanks in advance.

 

in order for the fronts and rears to be flush and not going staggered, you will need a 15mm spacer for the rear and about a 5mm for the fronts. This is assuming +40 & 8" wide.

 

instead of looking for the answer to a generic question, i would suggest reading up on wheel construction and what all the numbers mean. once you really understand it its the simplest of math.

i've been reading up the past few days - it's a lot clearer now.
