Question Correct Wheel Offsets...?

I did a search earlier and got a 'guestimate' of anywhere from +32 all the way to +48. This is a rather large gap . Does anyone have a clearer picture as of yet as to the correct offset for aftermarket wheels.

AND, while I'm on the subject, what is the widest tire reccomended (235 on up to what) and what is the lug pattern??

AND AND, how does one find out if a brake calliper fits under a specific wheel? I.e.- if I get 6 pot callipers, will they fit, OR if I get different wheels, will they fit the stock, or larger callipers?

Thanks TONS!!!!

I think on the brochure it say 38 offset. You should double check.

offset=+38
PCD=5-114.3
hub dia=60.7

Not all wheels with these dimensions will fit. You need a wheel with good brake clearance.

Eriks numbers are correct, but I think the Evo VIII's Enkei wheels may have a +35mm offset.

Talking +35 to +38 offset is GOOD!

It means a nice lip if you get a wheel that has one

Yes Volk TE-37 and CE28N both fit, they are great wheels. Lighter than many magnesium wheels without the hassles. The TE37 is very strong. The new CE28N is even lighter and should be pretty strong also.
