45mm offset?

would a 45mm offset stick out side the fenders? i would want them to cause i plan on purchasing the fender flairs from cp racing. and going to run a volf te37 wheel cause you can get it in 4x110 lug pattern. if not what offset would i need to accomplish this or just run some wheel spacers?

Not to sure with the no -SE's. A good rule of thumb if you want the wheel to stick out is to have a lower number than stock. I believe, I know I'm wrong, that the GS and GSL's have something around 20mm, so 45 would put your wheels closer in.

You can't state offset without stating the width of the wheel... But in anything wider than 5", the 45mm offset will hit your springs. You will need a closer-to-zero offset.

You wouldn't happen to know the ideal offset for a set of 16"x7" rims would you? I'm using the stock bodyshell with no flares...

^^ On a GSL-SE (or if you're stock wheels are 5.5" +40mm), any offset betweem +25 to + 35 should work well.

^^ 5" +0mm in front should fit fine. On the other hand, 7" -22mm will stick out at LEAST 3/4 " past the fenders (on a GSLSE). Are you sure it's not +22mm?

Where were yall when I asked two weeks ago. I am going to be running 16x10" rims and wanted to know the max offset you can use for the front and rear. I'm guessing 4.5 would be safe since someone said 5 would be pushing it. Right??????
