Default Need Help With Wheel Offsets

The wheels are Dazz Matiz.

18"x8.5" Fronts and 18"x10" Rears.

Which offsets should I order?

What size tires should I get?

Thanks in Advance.

JiggaTaOG,

Those are some wide ass dimensions (badass)...I don't know the exact specs...but this is my guestimation:

18x8.5 +60mm (front)
18x10 +70mm (rear)

RT has a set of wheels that are the same specifications...send him a personal message on what offsets he has on his 18x9 and 18x10 Fikse's...

You're better off getting HREs. They have a custom application for the S2 and are crazy wide. They are 3pc, forged, and pretty lightweight. The Matiz weighs at least 28lbs. HREs will weigh closer to the low 20's.

thanks guys...

I just e-mailed Ben for a quote on HRE's since I realized that 28lbs is too much weight. I understand that going from 16" to 18" it will be hard to match stock wheel weights just because of the tires, so I decided to go as light as I can, HRE's.

What do you guys think 542's?


or 547's?

Btw, TE37's are pretty much the lightest 18" rims you can buy. However, the offsets aren't quite right, and they're not 3pc like the HREs. Also, if you want to go really wide then HREs are the way to go.
