it really depends on the spoke design. i have seen a wheel w/ a 0 offset and 3 inch lip or i have seen wheels w/ a 35 offset w/ 3 inch lip size.


10 offset would need plenty of negative camber, rolling and possibly pulled fenders.

there the equip 03 knock offs by esm i was gonna go with the drags dr20 then i came across the esm. I really like the esm wheels but i want to still be able to drive my car and not have it look like an 80s import lowrider.
what offset is best for my car while still getting the look im going for?

i had a friend that had the axis OG equip replicas on his 92 si his fenders were rolled and he was i wouldn't say completely dumped but it was really low his lip would sit about an inch off the floor. So what the difference in the (axis) and the (esm) or (drags dr20 +10 offset)

BAD SUGGESTION. There are a lot of good tires available in 195/50-15, and they fit that car perfectly. 195/45-15 is too small, and the only tire available in that size is the overpriced Toyo T1R. Stick with 195/50-15.

well i do want to go with the 195/50/15 cause i think the 45 will just be a bent rim waiting to happen. anyone have a picture of a +10 offset on an eg or ej1? im sure i have one but i wouldn't know what offset it was.
