Offset

Quick questions about offset. I know the fronts need to be 0 offset and the rear +16. Problem is the wheels I have found can be 0, and the best that can do is +12. How will using the +12 instead of +16 effect the car and look? Will it even fit?

Re: Offset

I am sticking with the stock size of rim, that way I can keep the current tires that only have 5000 miles on them. So 16x8 is the size.

Re: Offset

The rear wheel offset doesn't have to be 16mm as you can use the 0mm. For example I have front single stripe IROC wheel at all 4 corners with no problems. The only visual difference is the tires sit 16mm to the outside and it sure makes rotating much easier (provided your front/back tires are the same size).
