with a lower drop and big rims like that, I'd go for a 45 offset.

 

I had a 42mm and I was good.

 

hmmmmm what kinda drop did u have?

what is an offset anyways?

 

Wheel offset defined: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/offset.htm

I never have figured out what exactly my drop is. It's been like 4 years since I was at stock height. :dunno:

 

well what kind of springs u got?

 

he has skunk2 coilovers

 

42+ offset

 

42-45mm offset is recommended. I have a 40mm offset on my rims with my car dropped about 1.8-2 inches and i had some rubbing issues until i rolled the fenders

 

My 16x7" wheels has a +37mm offset and when I was using 205/40/16 tires, I didn't have to worry about rubbing at all (no matter what the height the car was). When I switched to 205/45/16, I'd experience minimal rubbing on the fenderwell.

When I used to have 18x7.5" with a +40mm offset with 215/35/18's, I could hardly lower it. I was driving with about an inch gap between the tire and the fender and I would rub hitting dips and whatnot.

So if you could get an offset between 42-45, you should be gravy.
