rubbing is when the fender or quarterpanel rubs against the tire after you lower.

offset is the distance of the mounting hub from the centerline of the rim

basically how far forwards or back from the center of the rim that the tire actually mounts to the car, +53mm for stockies

you search because the question has been asked on azine before. infact, if you had read the first few posts of the will this fit, they tell you exactly what offset you need for what wheel size.

you're welcome for the info, but seriously search. we all do when we need something. when you can't find it, then you ask. something as basic as rubbing and offset are voiced numerous times. I'll give you rubbing because yeah that's a little tough to understand unless your car rubs, but offset, even a quick google search of the word offset will give you the answer immediately

shit you dont even need Azine to find out what offset and rubbing are.

google will give you faster, maybe better, results.

Because that is what the SEARCH button is for at the top of the page. Learn to use it. You will get answers faster and less likely to get the crap you are getting!

Acurazine is on the internet... Now if you were to ask for the offset for stock wheels then... well they will still give you shit.

^dude what're you talking about?

you trolled the thread. or you didn't. it doesn't matter. point is you didn't actually READ it. because if you did, you'd have seen it the information you were looking for and gotten a resolution.

and it's the internet dude, pictures are the fun way to have a laugh. do you really want us to just ignore you? or give mean responses?

we're trying to have a good time and be informative, but you asked a pretty easily answered question. ESPECIALLY if you read the will it fit thread, like you claim...
