What exactly Is offset?
 
I plan on going with Konig Imagines 17x7 Front and 18x8.5 Rear. This Is for a FC.

For the 17x7 the offset Is 40.
For the 18x8.5 the offset can be choosen as 18 or 38.

Which should I choose for the offset of the rear rims?
I have no choice for the front offset of 40, seeing how that Is the only option.

How does offset pertain to rims? Any pointers to my suggested setup?

*EDIT* I'll be running this with: 215/45/17 - Front
245/35/18 - Rear

I don't know what the correct offsets are for those sizes for the FC. Ask Rishie, as that he has one or two FCs.

Thanks for the link:bigthumb: Answered my question...

As for the offset, the orgin began In a recent thread. https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...hreadid=133194

I hope Rishie comes around. I trust his Input...considering he helped me establish my rim size selection to begin with.

why are you running a 17" up front and an 18" in the back?

Fikse has a nice diagram on their site that shows all important dimensions.
