Question Running Different Offsets

I currently have 4 18x9.5 +35mm 5Zigen FN01r-c's but 1 rent is damaged. I cant find the exact same wheel to replace it so I was wondering if it would be okay to switch it out with the same wheel with these specs 18x9.5 +22mm? Thanks in advance.

Im not worried about the fender fitment since i have wider fenders, just asking if its safe for the transmission and will it clear the caliper?

I'd at least get a matched pair of wheels - i.e., buy two 22mm offset rims. Run the 22mm in front and the 35mm in the rear, that'll give you a wider track for the front and might even help your handling a little bit. Looks like you've got an '03, so no AYC/ACD to worry about.

I believe its ok as long as the wheel is the same diameter and width. Offset isnt going to do anything but look silly though. It shouldnt hurt anything though.

Like said above, if you are going to do it, at least get two +22's for the rear. That way you wont have one wheel sticking out from the rest.

a set would make sense...one wheel with a completely different offset sounds problematic
