Well my highschool graduation is approacing fast (16days) and i'm going to be geting some money.....i want to buy a set of wheels but i'm having trouble with offsets and such....i was wondering if there was any possible way such as spacers etc to increase the offset of a wheel from like a 35 of 38 to what we need which i think is a 45 or higher also could some one please explain what all the numbers mean when tires are described...
thanks Tom

 

I wouldn't trust any sort of wheel spacer.

I really need an answer to this...thankx

 

Ok here's my understanding of the offset question.
If the offset on rim u want is +35 and the ideal offset for your car is +45 (and higher), won't a spacer make the problem worse?

If the offset is lower- then that means that the wheel will stick out more. So the +35 wheel will probably scrape alittle (and more if u lower u're car).
So instead of a spacer(which will add more space between the wheel and the rotor, Right?). You would have to go in the other direction and have some of the rim shaved off- which may lower the strength of that rim.

So should find rims with the correct offset.

If i'm wrong please correct me
