Thinking about to get a set of "18 aftermarket wheels and not sure what offset to get. I wanted a flush with the fender in the back without fender mod. So please post your aftermarket wheels. Thank in advance

work xt7's 18x9.5 r 18x8.5 fr flush with fender.
285/35-18 rear 225/40-18 front

sorry, i don't remember the offset, I sold the car a year ago.

very light, not too many people run these. I was happy with the overall look, the car was lowered with the prokit.

if you want flush without fender mods...look for offsets around 35...like between 33-37. if you go too high, won't look flush at all, if you go too low offsets, you'll need to mod fenders. is your car lowered?

Thanks for your input. Yes, my car is lower on Tanabe NF210 about three weeks ago.

Nice, what tires size did you use on the front and back? Do you have any rubbing issues?

I owned 4 different sets of Rays/Volk wheels... Last year. We'll see what's in store for 2009.
