Best offset for 18" wheels
Hi everyone, I'm determined to remove my stock wheels (and save them in the event I need them later) and replace them with 18 inchers.
My question is do all wheels have a different "SVX" offsets ? or, Is there is a standard "SVX" offset ? |

In my opinion the proper offset for a 18" rim on the SVX is about 10 feet...
Factory offset is 55 mm, there's a good tire size/offset calculator in LarryIII locker.

The offset needed doesn't depend on rim diameter, but on rim width. A 7.5 inch wide rim is going to need a different offset from a 9 inch wide rim.

If you go past the factory offeset of 55 does that result in scraping against the body ?
