My Situation:

I have a 2006 model that currently has had no modifications to the body, fenders, or suspension. As I want to keep the car at its best equity state for resale value, I do not want to modify my fenders. The plan is to drop the car greater or equal to 2".

I have been in the wheel market for two weeks and I have decided on the sizes of 18"x8" and 18"x10". The wheels are to be customized to my likings and I need expertise on what the right offsets would be for this situation.

Question: Front - 18"x8" (offset?) and Rear - 18"x10" (offset?)

Following up with the most perfect advise, what would be the perfect tire sizes?

Thanks,
Tyler L.

 

I would start looking for after market wide fenders you like or a new set of wheels.

 

Yeah, there is no way they fit without major modification.

 

19x8 35 offset required minor roll and fender lining cutting with a modest drop on my car. 19x9 will require more rolling and pulling, 19x10 as stated will need aftermarket fenders. I say go for it, I think 19s look awesome on these cars, some will disagree but people always hate if you've got more inches than they do.

 

Bump for an updated and different post.

 

as high as possible if you want as little fender mods and camber, so +60ish

for example, here's these:

since you would be narrower in the back, you could go down to a high 60s offset and they would stick out as much as those.

are you trying to get the wheels flush (and do fender mods/etc.) or just to fit and have as big of tires as possible?

 

Thank you so far, I appreciate your quick and respectful response.

I don't care for modifing the car to a state in which someone else wont desire. I would like to get the fitment to be the best flush stance without modifing the body. The suspension kit still hasn't been decided (I truely need help on deciding that as well) and I really don't want to mess with cambering. I want to simply drop the car on the wheels to the best "dumped and flush" setting without modifications.

 

if i were you and had those goals in mind, then i would want to err on the side of caution, and the higher the offsets the better for that width in the rear.

what size tires are you looking to run? the bigger the tires, the higher you want the offset to be.

obviously you can go with ~+50 for the front and ~+70 for the rear and be perfectly safe.

suspension is a whole other topic.

 

I understand. Based on my first paragraph statement of having equity. I am a person of equity and I need maintain equity in any item I purchase. For this lifestyle it's hard for me to make some purchases (like suspension). This may not be able to be answered singly by few people but generally; would you believe there would be individuals who would desire such a specifications of an 18x8 +50 and 18x10 +60 in a tastefull Work VS-XX?

These are very difficult subjects since all people have there own desires, tastes, and ideas. So it is very hard to compare, understand, and even have the energy to try and help these specific situations.

 

For that wide of wheels go as high on offset as possible. The problem is you are going to find 60+mm offset wheels hard to find.
