Another Wheel Offset Question

Doing some research on some wheels. Seems pretty difficult to find a wheel that will fit when we lower our cars. I will be lowered on Ksports. Dont want to go any bigger then 18's just for tire cost mostly. Anyways, I really like the Gram Light T57-RCs.





Anyways they have with a 7.5, 8.5, or 9.5 width. I think the 9.5 is to wide for our cars. The 7.5's have and offset of +48 and the 8.5 offset is +45. Just wondering if I would have have problems with these being lowered on Ksports. If so what is the optimum offset I would need for an 18 inch wheel being lowered on Ksports?


Appreciate it,

Tweek

if you plan on slamming your car the 8.5 +45s might have some rubbing issues, others please add advice. the 7.5 +48s will work with some rolling.

some where in one of the 948 wheel threads someone posted an optimum offset for size wheel grid.

the 7.5 +48 will fit perfect. no rolling needed. you could even run a 5mm spacer if you wanted it to look a little more agressive.

only reason i said you could run the spacer is because of the 7.5 width.

if it was 8 wide then you would need +48 to +51 closer to +50 would be optimal, but we are talking mm, so its not THAT important. as long as its in that range if you are running 8" you should be good.
