I hope they are 7.5" wide wheels. The highest offset for 8" is 46MM. 7.5" run up to 49MM. Your other choices are worse 43 and 44MM.

what are you talking about? higher offset means it moves into the center for the car more, and lower offset moves towards the outside of the car. therefore, you would want a higher offset to clear the fender.

Thats what he said, "I hope they are 7.5" wide wheels. The highest offset for 8" is 46MM. 7.5" run up to 49MM". He is saying 49 is better...you should really read before you post.

actually offset ranges can vary greatly, regardless of widths, depending on the manufacturer...

as for offsets, higher can mean farther from the center and lower can mean closer to the center. remember there are POSITIVE and NEGATIVE offset values (as well as ZERO offset). since we have fwd cars, i hope most people understand that we are talking about POSITIVE offsets...hence the + sign in front of the value.

again, remove the wheel and examine the back of the wheel face for the value.

sometimes, the rim cylinder will still have the spec sticker... some remove them for aesthetics, but i leave mine in place to certify the specs in case i sell the wheels.
