What is the minimum offset for FD...18" wheels?
As the title says I am wanting to know what the minimum offset is for a FD. Will 32mm upfront and 35mm in back fit? The wheels are 18X8 and 18X9. If you don't know for sure...I don't need your opinion

You can figure it out using a little math...
Front
18x8 is nominally 9" wide (the 8" measurement is between the inner and outer lip of the rim, from tire bead to tire bead, so the wheel is actually a bit wider.)
9" / 2 = 4.5"
32mm / 25.4 = ~1.25"
4.5" + 1.25" = ~5.75" back spacing (maximum ~7.0")
9" - 5.75" = ~3.25" front spacing (maximum ~3.5")
Rear
18x9 is nominally 10" wide, so...
10" / 2 = 5"
35mm / 25.4 = ~1.4"
5" + 1.4" = ~6.4" back spacing (maximum ~7.0")
10" - 6.4" = ~3.6" front spacing (maximum ~4.0")
So your answer is yes, they will fit.

Thanks...and that's what I would call knowing for sure
