Default Few questions on rims and offsets.

Hey guys, i dont know much about the offsets and about wheels. I was wondering whats a good offset for like a lowered car . and would BBS LM's fit on my car? i was hoping 18s? or VS-XX 18's . like what would be the offset and width ? Thanks .. Srrry if its not enough information. I'm trying to go for a flush look but its still a daily driver

google, tire calculator and/or rim calculator.

Now, take those, use your OEM specs off the OEM wheels as a starting point.

Start comparing to what you ideally wany, ie. 19x8.5 rim with an ET30.

This should give you more or less an idea of specs, but keep in mind these cars suck since they are FWD and the rears are a ***** to 'tuck' anything properly without modifying the quarterpanels. Only a few cars can be said to have killed the ES300 game, but i am sure those owners went thru a lot of frustration, and most importantly research to get the flush look and get it driveable!
