What kind of offset are you lookin' at??

[TheMack]

im gonna sound retarded but i have no idea wat the offset of my rims are, im hoping to buy lowering springs in the near future and i figure spacers would make the car look alot better

I see.
Well look on the back side of the rims and it will say "18 x 8" and there will be another number near by on another spoke wit "J" or "JJ", that will be your offset.
By the lowerin' springs first personally and then look into spacers.
It took me a couple of weeks to figure out what width spacers i wanted and needed to get.
Also you get what you pay for parts you buy.
Personally save up and get a good quality parts for you car.
There are only certain things that you should skimp out on parts.

No problem man.

[TheMack]

hey bro i checked the wheel inside and it said 18x8 JJ, whats that mean?

[hskrsolara]

now look for a number that is engraved or stamped into the wheel. typically on the backside of one of the spokes. "35", "38", "40", "45", etc. that will be the offset.

[TheMack]

40 it is, thanks guys, now that i know this what kind of spacers should i be looking at?

[hskrsolara]

18x8...225/40/18...40 mm offset...you do not need spacers. If you lower, you will most likely have to shave or roll your rear fenders. Exactly the setup I used to run and I had to thoroughly shave my rear fenders to clear without rubbing with passengers or heavy cornering. however, I am lowered.

[TheMack]

yeah i assumed as much. thats wat i had been prepared to do, how much should i pay to get them rolled?

[SleeperSolara]

If you want a flush look in the rear get 5 mm spacer.
"CamryOnBronze" has his wheel setup wit Gram Lights wit the same offset, but he was on coilovers.
If you have a friend who has a fender roller it makes it so much easier and better.

Damon actually had 8.5 width though.

Can't wait to get my GS wheels on to be semi flush. 18x8 45mm w/10 mm spacers.

[TheMack]

im contemplating 20mm spacers to look mean and aggressive
