: Is a 45+ offset safe to run on our cars?

I'm looking at rims and the ones I want have a 45+ offset. Our stock rims have a 40+. I don't want to modify the inner fender or anything, so if it does fit i'll keep looking.

I've wondered the same thing too. I want enough just to line up the wheels with the edge of the fender, without going outside or having to modify it.

If that's the case... You don't want a 45mm offset wheel... You want something closer to 38 or 35mm.

Bwilsor: I believe you should be okay if you don't go beyond a 7" wide wheel. Thankfully, you have a 200SX, so you won't have issues in the rear like the B13 does. However, if you could find something with a 40, 38, or 35mm offset, that would be preferable... Wider = better (from a cornering standpoint). :)

I believe I have a 32mm offset and my wheels are 16x7.5. I only rub on 1 fender. Boy shop says my frame is bent.:confused:

I have a 45mm offset on my 17's and I have no rubbing. By the way they are 7.5 wide.
