Hi i am looking to get 16x8 wheels for my em2 and i need to know which offset will work best without much rub issues... If you have em on your whip don't be shy to post links of pics and/or specs suspension modifications etc...

Cheers

On rolled fenders, +38 is about all you're going to fit without running an overly-stretched tire, extreme camber, and wheel poke.

 

well i like the streched tire and wheel poke a little bit so still +38 ish?

 

It would depend on how safe you want your car to be. I'm not the one to ask, when it comes to stretching, because I go the opposite route.

 

well on a 8" wheel you can only stretch so much i guess... But safety is always a must... i seen a 10 wide wheel on here i believe Leon was the owner of the beast...

 

16x8+30 fits perfect on our cars, but you will need to roll the fenders, and if you don't have a stiff suspension setup it will rub a lot. I had my friends Gabsports 16x8+20 in the front and +30 in the rear for a month, with 205/50/16 tire. It wasn't bad, rubbed a little though.

But I'll stick with my 16x8+38 front and 16x7+32 rear for now. Much less of a headache than trying to fit lower offset wheels with proper tires. I'm not a fan of stretched tires either. I am actually using 225/50/16 on my front wheels.. for now.
