Ok, so I ordered a set of wheels that i'm thinking about sending back already. I just can't seem to picture these offsets to decide how they're going to look but it just doesn't seem right to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. They're 18x8.5 +35 front and 18x9.5 +35 rear. Doesn't seem right, anyone have any input?

yeah this is serious as it gets man. I just realized what the offset was on them after I had already ordered them. I'm just glad I didnt pay in full up front. I really can't figure out what offset I need to go with?

I really really really do not want to run spacers. So if I wanted to run 18x9.5 front and rear, what offsets would I want to sit as flush as possible without rolling my fenders?

I would cancel that order.
Make sure you write to Santa tonight and tell him you want new wheels in the high teens to low twenties offset wise.
Ps. Leave turbos around to attarct him to your palce.

If you want to figure out the offsets you need for a specific wheel that's different from the "norm" around here, just use this:

wow... no research before buy = the fail
cancel the order and do some research for god's sake.. then buy.
p.s. i wouldnt do spacers, but then again i would never run those size wheels...

risky business... yes those are the wheels. Motormouth, thanks for the info. 3hree5ive0ero.... thanks for the thread I can refer to. Ginobetterfly....no i'm not going to run spacers. For some reason i've always had something against spacers. If I'm going to buy a brand new set of wheels then i'm going to buy something that fits the way I want it to, to begin with. That's the reason why i've cancelled these. I like the overall style of the wheel, just not the offset. Thanks everyone for the help!
