    Ideal offset size for rims

    I read the original size of the stock rim is 14x4.5 with 100mm stud spacing and an offset of 44. Correct me if im wrong. Im currently interested in the enkei rpf1s 14 inch rim size but I just dont know if the offset is acceptable. It being either 19 or 28. im going to take a wild guess and assume the 15 inch rim size has the more acceptable offset size 35/41 http://enkei.com/size_chart/RPF1.pdf

    I did see someone post a picture on here with the rims on. I hope you can chime in if you needed any modifications and which offset you chose. Thanks

    I know I'll be running 15x7.0 +35, which will poke out very slightly. +41 should come flush.

    Thanks for the reply. Maybe the 35+ would be better for the wider tires. This is pretty cool http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel...ulator#Results

    When I was online looking for rims. It seems 38+ is what is most popular on tire rack. Did also see 40/42/43/45/ . nothing lower than 38 tho.

    Aye. I'm looking for a wider stance for autoX and trying to stay as close to original wheel spec as possible AND have good tyres available to me. So the wheel size size I chose seemed ideal. That is until GLS2001 told me that with 15x7 +40 195/50R15, if he fully compresses his rear tyre rubs on the outside. So back to the drawing board.

    whats his suspension? does he have the soft stock springs still? pureflipking have you noticed rubbing on your rear? I know your +38 on 195/50/15 correct? I would think the +41 would be ideal if anything.
