Rim offset help, and I did search!

[astronut1885]

Hey guys. Just spent last night and this morning looking for the answer. I am going to be buying a set of Shelby Redlines by American Racing wheels. I want 18" staggered by 9 and 10" wide. Tires will be: BF Goodrich KDW-2 265/35/18 front and 295/35/18 rear. What I can't figure out is the offset. It looks like the rears are supposed to be 18x10" with +41mm offset, but the fronts come in two sizes: 18x9" with +25mm offset (and impossible to find) and 18x9" +40mm offset (easy to find). Can I run a +40 offset on the front of my 2010? Thanks!

Well I know the stock offset on my 06 is +45 rear +36 front, I have no idea if its the same on the 10's, a +41 on the front would probably push the tire/wheel out just a bit more, I'm sure your concern is turning clearance as well as it sticking out past the fenderwell, which wouldn't look really good IMO.

Sorry I cant be of more help.

Best of luck

My OEM wheels are +45 offset front and rear. For a 10" rear to fit ideally you'll want a +45 offset. All the sites that sell the OEM copies in 10" are +45 offsets.
