Negative Offset

I've been looking around and i cant find any help or info on my idea.

Goin for a modern look on my wheel and tires.

soooo..

i want the rear wheels (17"-18") to have a negative offset

and the front to have no offset
but and to keep them in line put sum spacers, I do not want the wheels to be stickin outside the fender flares or be too far in on both front and rear.
i want them perfectly joined..
something like this in the rear and have the same style rims in front

Re: Negative Offset

Can't determine WHAT bs/offset you need, until you decide on the wheel width.

Pick a width/how much inner wheel modding/inner fender lip....modding your willing to do & go from there.

Re: Negative Offset

In order to achieve what you are trying to do you need to do some research. You could also get a wheel you know all the measurements of and fit it on the car. Then take some base measurements and find out how far you can go with offsets and widths.

Here is a link to a really good wheel calculator (its in microsoft excel format) that can show you how much messing with widths and offset can affect where the wheel rests.

If you have any more questions just ask me.

Nice to see someone looking for good wheel fitment
