I'm not sure if you're asking for the good offsets or if you're indicating offsets. Please clarify.

Thanks, Rishie

8JJ and 9JJ are the nominal wheel widths (tire bead to tire bead).

Generally 38 to 50 mm offsets will work with 8-inch wides up front, and with 9-inch wide in back. If you want to run 9-inch wide up front, you'll need 45 to 50 mm offsets for adequate front wheel well clearance.

Tire section width and overall diameter play an equal role in adequate clearance, so you need to be educate yourself on selecting proper tire sizes when choosing aftermarket wheels.
