GSL-SE offset?

16x7 and 16x8, 4x114.3 bolt pattern, I will find out the off-set of the wheels tomorrow.

Anyone know the offset I need that that will fit my car and look good??

Locally there is a guy running a se rear with 35mm offset on a 8" rear tire. Fits very nicely. Not sure about the front.

Try searching first... you will find the answer. I know from experience.

I am running the stock offset. No issues at all. It can be found on the door pillar sticker.

Anything from 35 to 40 mm will work without rubbing.
I believe there are some guys on here running 15 to 20mm as well but they would have to confirm.

I'm running 32 on mine with 8.5" rims in the back w/ 255-50-16 rubber. It does rub just a little, I can see where the paint has rubbed of and it's only ~2mm. I just need to get of my **** and grind the metal down a bit.

I believe the 20 -15 mm offsets are for the 4x110 cars... they have a different stock offset than -SE's which is 40mm.

fit is relitive. will they mount up and not rub to much... they should.

But, they will not "Fit" a 1st gen.










*just kidding*

They actually should fit fine with the exception of a slight rub on the swaybar tight turns (steering wheel being all the way to one side).
