I need some expert advice...
I am looking at some wheels that are 18x8.5". The offsets are:
et20 and et42.
According to wheel offset calculator, when compare to the stock wheel, the et20 will be:
The clearance from strut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 4mm MORE
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 16mm
The main thing I am worry about is the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 16mm, which is about 0.62in. This should still be acceptable right?
Should I stay with stock tire size or can I upgrade to a bigger size?
I curently have the performance model with 18x8 all around.
Thanks!
