When you have selected a wheel to go on the picture of the car, click the "View Closeup" button and it will show the offset on the info page.
*edit* Oh, and when you pull up your car they will generally only show wheels that will fit. Sometimes they will give you something that's outside of the ideal offset range so you should check just in case. Also doesn't hurt to give em a call--their phone people are actually really well trained about sizing and if like one particular brand's offset ratings are different than normal for some reason or another.

ok, it states a +38 offset. how can i find out if i will have a problem with rubbing? :thinking: my car pretty much has a 1" gap between the fender and tire, and i remember my rotas to have a similar offset. i remember the face of the wheels was almost flush with the side of the car. :thinking: hmmmm
edit- i think im confused with the offset numbers. a larger positive offset will mean that the face of the wheels will "tuck" out more? where as a smaller offset will tuck in more?

K1's... nice choice. It's hard to really say whether or not you will rub even with given offset- wheels and tires are all different shapes. 38 does sound a bit much, but I don't think it's much an issue with 16's... DB!!!

The rule with offsets is the lower the number the more it sticks out from the car. Pretty much the biggest wheel you can run with reasonable success is a 17 x 7.5" +43.
This link lets you compare two different rim widths or offsets: http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html
If you enter in a 7.5" wheel with a +43 offset and a 7" wheel with a +38 offset you will see that the edge of the rim is 1 mm further away from the fender on the 7" wheel. So yes, it should fit.
