Offset question
I am trying to see if a set of rims will fit my car am i doing the calculations right?
Im just worrying about the rears right now
I currently have a set of turbo rims so 7 inch wide with a +40 offset
these are 11.5 inch wide with a -13 offset
so will these stick out 109.25mm from the current rims i have.
and will go in 3.25 mm
also alot of ppl strectch there tires the only benefit this will give me is that the tire wont bulge out anymore right?

No way in hell it'll stay under the stock fenders - I hope you got plans for big fender flares?

I can easily say it's going to be at least 2" or 50mm.
I think it's actually more...
Just to run the numbers...
8" wide, +50 is an FD rim - this has easily 2" of spacer from fender lip.
You're running 3.5" more width and just about 2.5" difference in backspacing.
3.5" / 2 + 2.5" = more than 4"!
I think I can safely say it's going to be close to 3" at least.
