Default Wheel Offset: What does everyone have?

Hi, new to forum. I would like to get some offsets for different size rims that work on our GS's.

Would love to see everyone post their offset and wheel size front and rear.

Thanks!

No way, it will look horrible.

Those specs are pretty much for FWD cars as they don't usually run agressive offsets.

ALso, you will need more of an agressive offset on the rear of a gs, 'cause if you get the same sizes all around, the rear wheels will stick in a lot more than the front.....which looks like total ***.

I run

20x8.5 +45 offset front
20x10 +42 offset rear

Looks real aggressive. From the front, the rear wheels look real nice.

quite the opposite.try 20x8.5 +15 and 20x10+10, then we are talking.With the offsets you posted you will be fine if you like the sunken in look.

You'll find offsets on the GS run the gamut.

Mine are on the wider side of the spectrum, but you'll find guys running
offsets from the teens through the high forties. Wheel width plays a part, too; for example, a 20x11 +40 is different from a 20x10 +40

Most guys are running front offsets in the 35-40 range in these widths
and 40-50 in the rear - if you don't want to modify anything, this is "safe."

minor fender mods is a must for a good fitting wheel.

if you're sunk in, you might as well keep the stock wheels.


I run a 19x9+18 F
and a 19x10+15 R ( rear is with 15mm spcr)
