Okay, gotta come in here and ask the question. What the hell is the offset of the stock ES steelies?

My guess would be about 30-35mm, and it's not all that crucial since the skinny tires on a 5.5" width give you a lot of room on either side to play with. But that's just a rough estimate.

Anyone else have some information to contribute?

Souren

18x7
offset 30

No rubbing in front but scrapes the inner fender lip on back. What can i do about this?

can you verify that offset Souren? With that combination, I would expect you to be rubbing terribly on the outside.

Souren

thats what it says on the inside of the wheel. The only thing that is rubbing is the tires on the back. They only rub when i take turns. What can i do about this?
