And I don't feel like taking the time to explain it. So I say that makes us even.

Hope you brought your flame suit...

Here's a couple of threads for your reading enjoyment:

The offset of a wheel is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the true centerline of the rim. A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned in front of the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This in effect brings the tire in to the fender well more. Conversely, a negative offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is behind the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This will cause the tire to stick out away from the vehicle.

Ok, so here is my question...

I am looking to upgrade from stock 18's to 19's on my 08.

So I am pretty confused by all of the figures and terminology....

I understand that I want 19 x 8.5 fronts and 19 x 9.5 rears...

Now the question is wtf are offsets with like +22 and crap like that? what do I need, and if there is an offset, do I need a spacer?

What size tires do I need / what do you all reccomend?

Don't flame me, I'm just naive about these things and I didn't feel like forum trolling for an hour or so to find my answers...

Thanks
