30mm Widebody On 32 What Offset For 18 Or 19s

[daler32]

hi all, im in the process of fitting a 30mm widebody to a 32 gtst, im just wondering if anyone can tell me what would be the best offset and width for a set of 18s or 19s to fill the guards and still have a good bit of dish. i have found a set of 18s with +45 offset front and rear and 8.5 and 9.5 inch widths respectivly, but im not sure if they will fulfil what im chasing. any help would be great. Thanks in advance Dale

+45 is normally for standard guards...you would be looking at anything from a +5, +10, +15 offset.. with 30mm guards, u might even be able to get away with negative offset!! Yummmmy disshhhhhhh....

Do a google for wheel offset calculator. Remember, the smaller the offset, the more dish, the more the wheel sticks out further from the center of the hub.

ok thanks for the reply. does the width of the wheel make any difference?

yes, use the wheel offset calculator to see how much the wheel retracts or moves further out from the guard. With 30mm guards you could also look at 9.5 fronts and 10.5 rears. As long as they don't scrub against your suspension or guards you'll have one phat 32!
