  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I am considering a 2nd set of wheels for snow tires. From what I've found, the stock wheels on my 2011 4.6 are 18x7.5 with a 39mm offset. If I were to go with an 18x8 rim, what offset would I need? Also, would that extra 1/2 inch make any difference or cause any problems?

Also, if I go with 17" rims, which I would assume would be 17x7.5, what offset would be required?

thanks.

The offset would be the same but you must also clear the 4.6 brakes.
 
Wouldn't a wider rim have a different offset? or is it measured from the center of the rim and the the only difference is that an 8" rim would stick out a 1/4 inch further?

Sorry for the stupid question, but I'm new to this.
