? on Wheels

Guys I am going to get those cheap wheels from Western Auto I think their brand is Indy wheels, I want them on 15 or 16 inch. So that I can put wider tires on my car at least 215/50/16. But I need to know what is the offset that will fit. Thanks.

Panasport recommends 33 offset. I just bought a set of 15 X 7 wheels at 35 offset, and they seem to fit OK (the car's still on jackstands).

BTW -- the info I gave you is for a GSL-SE. If your car's not an -SE, the offset is different -- although I don't know what it is. Have you tried a search? This topic comes up often.

there most definitly is lots of infor on wheels and sizes as per what will fit and what won't but I have yet to come across anything that specifies proper wheel offset...what we need is someone who knows for sure and makes a wheel fitment guide with size of wheel, width that will fit, and offset...the thing that has stopped me from buying any wheels is I just don't know what offset I need

Hey elwood,
Do you have pics of the Panasports that you can post to see how much of a lip they have as well as how the fit on your SE...
Thanks
