offset ?? for 18x10 for my fd
i am getting 18x10 for my fd and was wondering what offset in the rear you guys recommend. i have tein re suspension with rotaryextreme trailing arms and toe-end links. i would like the wheel to be flush with the side of the car. i just want to have an idea for when i talk to the company i feel like they are trying to sell me too low of an offset.
thanks,
john

Sorry , I meant 40. +45 will work fine. Some guys have +38s that fit too (such as Gram Lights).

i am going with gram lights also so thanks for all the tips guys. i dont think i am going to go 285 like spoolin even though it looks awesome. i think a 275 will suit my taste just fine.
also i hope you and your girlfriend are feeling better spoolin.

i just got some bbs wheels 18x10 with 20mm offset and they fit FLUSH, but it cambers in enough that just trimming or rolling the lip will work, i think a 25 would be better though

My 18x10" setup has exactly 7.5" of backspacing, which is about a +50mm offset. They would rub severely with 30mm less offset -- I can't figure out how +20mm offset would not rub? Pics and info of my setup here:

im looking for some 18x10, and was wondering what offset will fit on all 4 wheels, or do they have to be different? 93 fd, stock suspension, soon to have full suspension so if you could help me out and point me in a direction of some nice 6 spoke rims in a decent price range! thanks guys!

I'd recommend 18x9 +45ish front and 18x10 +45 rear with a 255/35 and 275/35 tire. Works like a charm

I have 18x10 +38 but not installed yet but I know it works from other members' cars. I am planning to run 265/35 tyres and as far as I know you do not need to roll or pull fenders with this set up, unless you slam the car. However if you use 285/30 with the offsets I mentioned you will probably need to roll the fenders or adjust negative camber.
