Offset Question!!!!
Wanna buy these wheels for my gsr. Ive seen em on some civics & tegs but the offset doesnt look like this and this is how i want mines to look. Need an offset to go with but not too knowledgable on offset. Can anybody help. http://www.tunerzine.com/cover...).jpg

Rear spacing (or backspacing) is the distance between the wheel's inboard edge and its mounting pad. It can be measured by using a ruler and a straightedge set across the backside rim of the wheel.
Offset is the distance from the wheel center to its mounting surface. To find offset, plug the rear wheel spacing and width into this formula:
Offset = Rear Spacing — Total Wheel Width

If you have a "positive" offset, the mounting pad is in front (or outboard) of the rim centerline. This situation most commonly occurs on front-wheel-drive applications. To picture this more accurately, think of the convex design of many wheels found on front-drivers; the center of the wheel sticks out further than the edges of the wheel. If there's a "negative" offset, the mounting pad is behind (or inboard of) the rim centerline. This is typical for most standard rear-wheel-drive vehicles and "reversed" rims. Sometimes, this style is referred to as a "deep-dish" wheel.
For example, an 8-inch wide, 3-inch-rear spacing wheel would have a 1-inch negative offset. Conversely, if the same 8-inch wheel had a 5-inch rear spacing, it would then have a 1-inch positive offset. Finally, if the same wheel had a 4-inch rear spacing (which is exactly half its width) then the wheel would have what's known as a "zero offset."
In wheel-measurement designations, the diameter is listed first, followed by the width. A 16x7-inch wheel has a diameter of 16 inches and a width of 7 inches. Diameter is measured where the tire rests, not from lip to lip. </TD></TR></TABLE>
As for those wheels, I am almost positive they are hard to find. Not only that, the offset will require you to run extreme negative camber in order for the wheels to line up with the fender. (Negative Camber is somewhat beneficial to handling, when tuned properly.) Or you can add ricer fender flares.

It's hard to tell the offset just by looking at the picture ...
I suggest providing a list of available offset and wheel size and width combination for that wheel. You also might have better luck posting this question in the wheel & tire forum.
If that doesn't work, pm user spankyeh ... I'm pretty sure that's his car ...
