help on choosing correct offset

well, after searching for quite a while i think i decided what wheel im goona mount on my TII. im going to go with rota p45f on the front and rota p45r on the rear. please don't come in here talking smack on rota wheels, if you have the funds to get work meister or ssr then by any means do it but i cannot spend 2 or 3k right now on wheels so this is what i like, also i don't track my car so i don't really care much. im going to go 18x8 on the front and the offsets they offerer are +35/+45/+48. on the back im going 18x9'5 and the offsets are +12/+20/+25/+30/+35/+48. i don't have coilovers if that matters. any help is appreciate it. i think im getting them in black with polished lip.

thanks

for the fronts you have to go +35 maybe with a small spacer, in the back you can fit +20- +35. i would recommend the +20 in the rear, that would look hot. not too sure about clearance with stock suspension though, anybody want to chime in?

i think on the front +35 would be fine with a 225 wide tire i think, +20 on the back i think it will stick out with a 255 wide tire, thanks for the input bro, anybody else that can tell me what correct offsets to get, i want to make sure i get the right ones when i buy this wheel.

thanks

+25 in the rear. I'm running 17x8 +21 in the rear and it looks to fit a 245 nearly flush, I reckon a 9.5 inch wide tire would indeed stick out a little with 255s

well a while back i put my old man acura tl 19'' inch hp wheels on my car, they were 8'5 all around, the offset was +38 and there was no way in hell to get them to fit on the front with 245/35/19, but on the back it was perfect and i still had room for a wider tire or rim. man i want these wheels so bad, but i don't want to buy them and then see that they don't fit well. i went to fc3spro and it says with a 9'5 wheel and a offset of +20, +25, +30 it will fit fine on the back with a 255 tire, but i wanted to be sure so that's why im asking.

thanks
