a negative offset on anything wider than like a 7 inch wheel looks crazy.
it will work with a widebody, but you'll need spacers for a flush fit if that's what you're going for. Probably thicker spacers than you'll want to run which also means you'll probably want extended wheel studs.

Look on the spokes on the inner part (backside) of the wheel. Most companies stamp their offset there. Or the lip on the backside.

Lol a -40 offset will have that wheel completely outside the fd body. Almost like you placed a wheel next to a wheel that's already bolted on the car.

I see, I got to say am completely stupid regarding wheels.
There´s so few wheels available in my country that you never worry about Specs, if it looks Ok you take it.
I gotta say I personally don´t like the look of the wheel, and if I have to also spend on spacers and studs to make it look just fine... I won´t go for it...
Any tip of a regular forum wheel vendor who can advice for widebody ??
Thanks..!!!

which widebody and how much extra room will it give you if you know?
if its a more common widebody then there will surely be someone on here that will know a good offset for ya to run.

for an 11" wide wheel, and 20mm wider fenders, my non-professional opinion would be that you need something with around a +13 offset to be flush.
here's an 18x10 +20 on stock metal:
the equivilant in an 11" wheel would be 18x11 +33
subtract 20 for the 20mm fenders, and you're looking at 18x11 +13. there are other factors that go into it like tire size, camber, and ride height.

offset on wheels just references how far away from the center to the wheel width. negative if the center hub is closer to the inside of the wheel, and positive if the hub is closer to the outside of the wheel. But the wheels we're looking at look like the have a positive offset like everyone has already stated.
