hi guys need some help with info about rims and offset for those that have checked my build intro i want to know what would be the best offset for me and also what the numbers indicate weather +35 is out of the guards or flush or inside e.t.c. any help appreciated am looking at getting rot as and want to choose the right offset : D

Have a look at this if your are interested in how offset is measured.

Wheel Tech - Offset

Was just about to post this.

XXR's can be found for under $1000, and can look pretty nice. Solid Imports sell them for $975 a set. These are 18x9.75 +20.

Also, keep in mind you'll need coilovers etc to get the right stance, otherwise it will look retarded. HSD's are pretty well regarded, and cheap.

Hope this helps.

Standard is around 55mm offset so if you go 45 the rim will be 10mm out closer to the guard on the same width rim, therefore having a 35mm offset would allow a 40mm wider rim before it scraped your strut but you may end up having to pump/roll the guards to avoid scraping...............hope that clears it up??

It's not much but here are some spec's that people have posted up -> http://www.perth-wrx.com/vb/mechanic...ent-guide.html

What rota's are you planning on getting? My suggestion is to google for other rex's that run the same rota's that you want and see what specs they run and what kind of fitment they achieved.

will check those rims cheers and i have STd coil overs from Evolution R so no probe with stance my car is hell low lol

I like the xxr-527 super stretch does any one know what these are like to buy tyres for ?? I love that they are concaved opInions on these would be great : D

Look at Bryno's build thread. Being a bug eye and having basically the same body shape as your car except the front end, you can work out what it will look like. He is running 18 x 9.0 +35 Rota's. They look awesome on his car. You can run the 18 x 9.5 +38 Rota's but you will be pushing it on your lowered car as it will chop the guards. It can be made to fit, but it will be a more costly and painful experience. The 18 x 9.0 +35's will fit with just a simple guard roll and a little bit of camber adjustment, then you need to work out what width tyre you are going to run. On a 9.0 Rim, 235/245 35 R18 should do

For a wide tire (9.75"), you would probably need (at least) 255/40r18.

Also, because of the specs, it will be quite costly to buy tyres for. I'd probably recommend Kumho KU36s, as they seem to at the best price point at the moment. I think they are about $400 a corner if you buy locally, or cheaper if you buy from a place like Tire Rack.

have a look at this site, lots of different setups from mexican or flush to oem fitment.
