For all of us that don't/can't figure out offset

is there anyone out there that can make a list of what offsets will work with various wheels sizes?
...for example if i have a TLS and want 9" wide wheels the offsets that will clear the brembos range from X-X
does this sort of list exist already?
how about a range consisting of the most popular wheel sizes, 8-10" wide

thanks

i know what size i want but not all wheels are created equal...unfortunatly manufacturers dont make their wheels in any offset we desire

and a sticky list could be a go-to guide for all of us on here

There's a thread in the 3G Garage explaining offsets.

Like Italiano said, search, when it doubt, 3G Garage.

I know what youre are asking loll.. Basically it comes down to alot of things and mostly depends on the manufacture.. With a wheel that had its spokes extend out all the way to the lip anything around 35mm should clear..

but that still comes down to how much backspacing there is.. basically you have to search the specific wheel type.. for example.. a 19x9 +22 won't clear the brembos but the same wheel with a 19x9 +32 will clear... something like this would happen in the case of modular wheels ... i'm not trying to confuse you or anything lol..

Easiest way to see if any wheel fits is to take measurements of your calipers and just hit up the manufacture and ask to see if it clears lol.

so basically if i take a straight edge against the hub and measure out to the face of the caliper, that would give me my minimum offset...depending on the width of the wheel. right?

A lot of things around here don't get stickied. So as a member, keep asking and posting away. Remember that this is a big messy magazine.

Thats the measurements you would need and with something like HRE since they are custom made just tell them you have brembos and they should know how thick the mounting pad should be
