Im sure this has been answered but search didnt bring me anything. for my model.

currently i have 8inch wide rim in a 19, Any body know if 8.5 would fit, Rear guards are already rolled for the current rims.

just wondering if 8.5 would sneak in there with out any further modification

ah ok well yeah not sure until i select a rim i guess.

is there a common offset that most rims have
and is there an offset that would be recomended to have 8.5 inch rim on the car.

offset depends on the rim design aswell.

I have 18x8.5 s204 wheels, they are 53 offset and sit nicely in the guards with 245/40's.

In an 18, i cant see why a 8.5, +45 would be an issue. Guard rolling would be all thats necessary, but youve done that, so should be sweet. If anything, maybe just smash in a bit of camber to fix.
