Default The World Of Wheels!

Ok. I need a lesson. When looking into wheels. What do I have to take into Consideration. I would like to put 255/35 tires on the rear. I am not sure how offset works. Just need a little class so that I do not get the wrong item for my car.

The wheels I have on my car now are not even supposed to fit. I tried to go to the tire rack website and when I choose my car I can not choose my wheel.

Thanks in advance.

try looking around the tire and wheel forum - lots of your questions will be answered there, especially regarding offsets - which is explained on tirerack's site. great visuals and descriptions.

I have Volk GS-C Rims... 18X8 (rear) and 18x7.5 (front) 50 offset. 255 35 18 (rear) and 225 40 18 (front) they fit perfectly and look damn good if I do say so myself! For some reason I can't post a pic though...

WOW, I think that's the first time an OZ owner has pulled his head out of the sand and actually admitted the things stick out Congratulations!
