Tire and Wheel fitment Q&A

98fxdwg · 03-21-2008, 05:13 AM

I see, I do want at least an 8" wide rim, and you're saying that +35 +40 is a good setup, I just want something that is right for sure before I spend the big money, there's no supras around i'm in redneckville idaho, so I don't have much to go off of. Also being in small rural redneck towns, the only wheel and tire dealers are small time and don't have much of an idea, they just work on lifted pickups, they haven't ever had to put a lowering kit on a car for instance, so I need your guys' help I will torque my own wheels b/c these idiots don't have a clue.

Did a little bit of quick research, and it looks like that a common offset for 8" wide wheels is +30, which should keep that wheel tucked in pretty nice under the car without hardly any sticking out. 7" and 7.5" range between +35 and +40
