Can anybody tell me the minimum wheel offset for an 18 inch wheel to fit without clearance problems I know the vx rim has an +25 but the new rims I want to buy only come in an 18x9 +15 I was planning to keep original tyres and the car is standard height but I plan to put a 2inch lift and change tyres to 275/65/18 in the future can anybody tell me if wheels will fit.

Re: minimum rim offset
I think you are going to have heaps of problems with a wide profile tyre going from 265mm wide to 285 mm wide - going to rub like blazes on guards etc and especially increasing profile from 60 to a 65 ratio as well.
The OD is going to be out to glory as well. 265/65R18 has an OD of 801 compared to 775 for OE, 285/65R18 is 827 so a 275/65R18 is going to be in the middle of these somewhere. Probably about 5% over OE. You may not be therefore legal running this size tyre either.
If you change the offset of the wheels from the +25mm OE then your wheel alignment will be a night mare issue, and again may not be legal. -

Re: minimum rim offset
I've read that the offset for the 120 and 150 are different.Originally posted by amts
