Default Wheel Offsets for 18s?

I just got my 18x8 fronts and 18x10 rear Z1s. The rears are +45 offset (fits on supra), what is the best offset for the fronts though 18x8? Just curious I can't wait to get these things on my White 95.

+25 to +35 is about right for an 18x8 if you want an agressive look... anything up to +45 should work, though.

+25!! Bro, that's about an inch off from the stock offset, i'm sure you'll have tracking problems. You want +38-up, as close to the stock 50 as you can get would be better.

My fronts are 18x8 with a +37 offset. Fits perfectly with 235/40's.

I've heard the tracking issue mentioned before... with the newer cars' suspension geometry, this really shouldn't be a problem. If you've experienced issues with this, I'd seriously look at suspension alignment & tire choice. Some tires are more prone to 'tramlining' than others.

We change offsets significantly on Vipers, Corvettes, Porsches and Ferraris, Mercedes, etc., and I've never heard negative feedback about stability issues. Scrub radius & caster issues present in 60s & 70s technology cars, for the most part, are non-issues with today's cars.
