What offset?

dash90 · March 28, 2015, 12:25:36 PM

Hey guys, so I'm ordering a set of rims and I just wanted to ask you guys about the specs. I'm not sure about the offset but I'll of course contact the seller to be sure but just in case...

size- 20x8.5
bolt pattern- 5x114.3
offset- +28 OR +35
weight- 31lbs

I did a lot of research, and I was going to pull a trigger on a 20x9 with 35mm offset, but this will be postponed a bit. I guess 38mm would possibly do, but there might be a slight chance of running a 3 mm spacer in front with 275/40/20 tires. I think with 35 mm front and back should run 275 tires without problems. And there are some decent rims in these sizes.

Well I should have mentioned that the rims I want to buy id like to put on a set of 255/45/20s'

Specs look ok to me. The offset: lower number means wheel is more towards outside

Do you think spacers may be required. I want to be sure on everything cause im ready to pull the trigger on the purchase. The site is already open and ready for the "buy now" lol

I have 255 tires on stock rims with a 10mm spacer ...so my offset is now +30 on that setup.
You should be fine with either set

Be fine with either and no spacers?

You'd be fine without spacers ...the only reason I have spacers is because the TCE big brakes don't fit behind stock rims

I just ordered rims from custom wheels express with the same tire size and same specs per rim, I was advised to use the 35mm.

I would go for the +35 ...that gives you more room to go + size on tyres in the future if you want
