Thanks for the responses. Again let me say that this is a VERY VERY generalized overview of learning offsets. It doesn't go into detail about wheel lip and flushness. The lip of a wheel takes one more extra step to figure out. Notice some of the pics that were posted above? The spokes (face) of the wheel has a certain size also. You need to take that into calculation to figure out flushness....

Next thing we could do is a chart on what clears coilovers and what doesn't.

Width---------------------Offset

6.5 Inch------------------ ????
7 Inch-------------------- ????
7.5 Inch------------------ ????
8 Inch-------------------- ????
8.5 Inch------------------ ????
9 Inch-------------------- ????
9.5 Inch------------------ ????
10 Inch------------------- ????
10.5 Inch----------------- ????

^^ If we can get something like that filled in, that would be the best guide to buying wheels. Again remember, its easy to figure out what will clear coilovers or clear a wheel hitting your chassis. BUT it wont necessary mean the wheel will be flush or be sticking out too much.

THE FRONT (Lip part) OF THE WHEEL IS CALCULATED DIFFERENTLY FROM THE BACK
