I was wondering if anyone has an accurate answer as to what offset is required on a 18x9 or 18x9.5 rim so it will fit properly on the 05 without sticking out? Has anyone bought some aftermarket rims yet and has this info?
I couldn't find a definitive answer when I searched.

I will be getting my car next month and want to start checking out different rims.

Thanks

Ya but does that mean it is the same for an 18" rim? Even if the rim is wider then stock?
