Default what offset should i get in a 20 inch rim...

i decided to get 20 inches.....due to the family being safe (i think...so i can use a thicker tire)

so what offset do many of you guys use....in 20 inches?

i heard 35 is the magic number....is that right?

so i think i am getting 20x8.5 rim with a 245/35/20 and 35 offset....will that rub any?


i would love to hear what you guys have.....and let me know if you think my will rub any with turning...thanks.

use this wheel calculator to determine if the wheel you want will work

I dont see how people can pick the offset for most wheels. Usually tou just order the wheel and the manufacturer will produce it in the appropriate offset. At least thats what I do

manufacturer produce appropriate offsets? not really. if anything it's the shop who is responsible. every customer needs are different, everything is custom, if applicable. when ordering jdm wheels, it's all about what you and your shop recommends

8.5 +35 with 245, that should be ok, just be careful if you lower the car, you might rub the top
