So I've heard there's a wheel offset calculator floating around online for our cars... but where is it? I couldn't find it in the links section, and even if I did, I'm not sure if it would take my coilover suspension into account.
I'm looking seriously into a set of 16x7 and 16x8 rims, with offsets of +35 and +38 respectively.
Now I realize that yes, these rims will fit nicely under the fenders and won't be super flush with them, but that's not my concern (fenders will be rolled anyway)... I'm worried about them rubbing my coilovers!
Although the rims are staggered, I will be running 205s on all 4 corners, meaning the rears will be stretched a little. I'm doing this for a number of reasons, mainly to keep my car pretty balanced (as little understeer as possible) and also so that I can acheive good, smooth break-away in the rear.
I imagine 16x8 +38 with 205/55/16 tires will be
close in the rear, but would like to be more 'sure' if I'll need spacers or anything.
That said, would any of you recommend AGAINST running same sized tires on staggered rims? Will a 205 tire even FIT on a 8" wide rim? Pros and cons? Where can I buy *quality* 3, 5 and 10mm spacers?
