Default Please Help! Is this Offset OK?

Well, one of my rims is bent and I am having a hard time finding the right size rim. Will this offset be ok for the rears of my S?

18x8 5x114.3 +45

I appreciate anyone's help!

it depends on what tire diameter you're planning on going with

I wanna run 255/35/18s. I will run 245/35/18 if i have too. That would be the best size out of these though right?!

18x8 5x100 +37
18x8 5x114.3 +45
18x8 5x114.3 +37
18x8 5x120 +37

Thanks again!

Ryan

Ryan, make it 245's in the rear and the 45 offset wheel should be fine.

Do you know what these numbers mean?

2 of those plain just won't fit on the car. +45 will be the best but I doubt you could pull off a 255.

Yeah, I don't think he really knows what he's asking

but 18x8 +45 will work with a 245/35 series tire. But it will be close and I hope you aren't lowered too much.

I dont really know what the numbers mean. I know that 18x8 is the height and width of the wheel. The 5x114.3 is the lug pattern, but I dont know what pattern we have. And then the +45 is the offset (dont really understand what an offset is) and that the closer to 50 it is is usually the best for our car. Does anybody know a company that makes 235/35/18 tires? The tires I have right now dont come in 245/35/18, so I might be getting the T1S's. Thanks and sorry that Im such a noob. I can probably have 2 wheels custom made, so what would be the ideal offset to get? Thanks again!
