Default Need some recommendations for proper offset

looking to get 18x8.5 for the fronts and 18x10 for the rears.

18x8.5, offsets offered: 47, 54, 63
18x10, offsets offered: 50, 55

also.. anyone know what "low disk" "high disk" "super-high disk" mean? i.e. "Low Disk 18x10"


planning to run 245/40's in the front and 295/35's in the rear.. tirerack carries both the tires i want so that part is covered...

i think i spoke with you before at california speedway..

i drive the yellow s2k in asp..
i'm currently running 17x7.5 front / 17x9 rear..
tires: hoosier's AS03's (now AS04's) 225/45/17 f - 275/40/17 rear

hoosiers run much wider than street tires..

bmw's run 245's on 8.5" wheels.. like the technoviolet m3 you might have seen next to us.

245's is pretty much the ideal size for 8.5" wheels.. 295 will fit on 10" wheels nicely without problems (keep in mind, i said on the wheels, on the car remains to be seen).

i'm mainly concerned with offset.. we might flare the fenders if needed.. it will help with the hoosier's as well since they barely clear with rolled lips..
