my buddy is selling a bronze set of rg2's in this fitment and i'm wondering if i should give up my 18x9 +28 gunmetal rz's that are currently on my phantom black x and pick these up.

which set of wheels am i better off going with for performance?

 

for performance i would say the rgII because of the 10" width but for daily use i would say the rz.

 

how much of a difference does the offset make from a performance standpoint?
i always read about how people prefer a lower offset because it looks better but what about performance? is there a certain point where you start doing more harm than good by going with a lower offset?

 

go with 18x10 +25

+35 is too sunken in.. .

 

is this simply for looks or is there an increase in performance to be had?

 

What size tires is gonna be used?? that is the question and that will answer your question....

 

haven't put much thought/research into what tires i would run on a 10" wide wheel,
i'm currently running the stock size on the 18x9's.

i'm just trying to figure out if these rg2's are worth picking up as i know a wider wheel will give me more traction but i'm clueless as to how much of a role the offset will play when it comes to performance.

does a wider wheel require a lower offset?

 

+35, is not a good offset for an 18x10, you will want +22 / +25 or so... for a good look. Here's a chart that can help figure out proper offset. http://www.forgeline.com/wheel_fitment.php

You can try their form, and they will prolly let you know, exactly what fits best.

 

thank you for the link.


does anyone know if i would have any rubbing issues with a 18x10+35 wheel?

 

for both!

haven't you read the memo?

Wider stance / track will improve handling

 

I don't think I would even consider a +35 to be honest. Worst case is you have to run spacers, something I don't really like to do.... generally when it comes to wheel offset its better to not settle on something even if its a good deal. my opinion. goodluck!

 

 

is there such a thing as too wide?

 

18x10 +35 and 18x10 +25 and 18x10 +15 all have the same width.

its the offset that will give you the stance.

You can also run 18x10.5 +12 if you have the guts to do it

Here is an example of our X w/ Rays SE37K in 18x10.5 +12 275/35/18, front fenders rolled, rear fenders shaved.

 

what is the lowest offset that can be run without fender work?
