I just bought and 01 IS300 and i want to put on a wheel no bigger than an 18 inces but still have a little bit of a lip maybe an 1" or 1.5" and I tried to research before I posted and I just dont know anything about offsets and rim width. If someone could point me in the right direction as far as offset and rim width offset so I can have a lip without the wheel sticking out like a baby dayton on a metro that would greatly appreciated.
The stock offset is 50mm. with a 7.5 inch wide rim. So what do you want to accomplish here? Do you want the rim to be flush with the car? Are you lowering the car any? How wide a rim/tire combo do you want? Do you want to stagger the set up? If you can find a car that has the set up you would like I can tell you what size rims, offsets and so on to get. What rims are you looking at getting?
