Default Simple Questions Since Search is down

First, is transerring the tps valve stems from the stock wheels to certain wheels as simple as just moving them over?

Any info or links on this would be appreciated.

Also, were i to buy 18x 7.5, how wide a tire could i put on it? Would the stock size fit or would i be better off getting the 18x 8?

What do offsets mean?
Whats the difference between the higher number and the lower number? What does this mean to me?

Anyone know any good wheels around 200 or less if better. Can't afford all those expensive wheels you guys buy for your Zs.

Thanks

transferring TPS: yes just swap them out, but make sure you mark the wheel that the sensor came from, or else you'll have to recalibrate

18x7.5: not recommended... although you're not compromising performance much, you won't be able to upgrade you tire size for better handling/traction... also, given that 18x7.5s usually come in offsets higher than +30, it'll look REALLY tucked in... I say run on your stock rims/tires until you can afford some nicer, wider, rims... unless of course you're desperate for rims... then I would spend a few weeks researching LOW offset 18x7.5s

offsets: http://www.discounttire.com/dtc/broc...eelOffsets.jsp

good wheels under 200: no under 200, but IMO the enkei PK6 is an awesome budget rim... it's one of the wheels i'm considering, but I may end up spending a lot more (double) and getting rays gramlights or g-games instead

So what offset would be good, on average, to just look about stock?

So for example, this Konig Trouble 18X8 5-114.3 30GRM

would look more tucked in than the stock wheel?

Is a 30 offset okay?

Im not really concerned with saving weight (just remain more or less the same) and I dont need a super wide look b/c I won't be tracking the tires.

Thanks

the widths and offsets of that wheel are the same as stock... so it'll look exactly as it does today with your stock ones (assuming you have the stock 18s)

Go with what looks good to YOU... the trouble looks nice and if you liked the way the stock wheels look tuck-wise, then go for it
