Rim selection for 3rd Gen
I know you all probably hate answering these by now, but searching revealed nothing, and so I figured I'd ask. I am looking to stagger the rims, as most on here do, and I am extremely curious about the offset for each. The sizes of the rims would be 18x8 and 18x9.5. Now the rims are available in either a 20 or 40 offset for the 8's and a 20 or 35 for the 9.5's. The link for the Thruxtons is here if this helps you out any. I was thinking about staggering the 19 and 20 front and rear, but I am not sure if any of them will fit. What do you think? Thanks for the help.

Searching found nothing? There's probably 100-200 threads regarding wheel fitment on the FD, not counting the major threads in the suspension archives.
18x8 +40 will work, 18x9.5 +35 will most likely require rolling the rear fenders. PLease don't put cheap, heavy-*** wheels on your FD. There are many wheels that would fit better than those that are still reasonably priced, especially if you look at the used market.

I am sure that there are a few hundred threads on it, but I wasn't able to locate the one I wanted, and I wasn't about to sit here searching for hours on end for the right one. Also, wheel selection is a matter of what the person wants from a wheel. I haven't found a rim that I like, looks wise, than the one I mentioned. I don't race in any form so weight isn't a concern. Thanks for the info, next time, I'll just figure the **** out my self.

Seriously though, read the wheel tech section at www.tirerack.com. Then read the wheel fitment thread in the archives. You'll then know a lot more about wheels and how they fit on the FD. Then you'll know what offset/size options will work.
