Offsets?

[TurboFreak]

I dont really understand offsets...

So would 18x8.5 with a 45 offset for the front

and an 18x9.5 with a 40 offset on the rear be ok? From what I've read I will need to roll the front fenders is this correct?

Also what BOV do ya'll like better the Greddy Type RS or S?


Heres a pic of the wheels....

I don't think you would have to roll your fenders with that offset. Thats a big offset. I would be conserned about the inside clearance up front more than the fenders, with that offset.

"The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel."

EDIT: Better pic:

You will have no clearence issues with that offset.

From my experience, RS and S are exactly the same other than looks. RS does have a little higher pitched sound though and the port is a bit bigger.

I have both BOV, they sound totally different...lol. The rs is more of a woosh while the s is more of a high pitched noise. Just trying get the opion of what people like to hear better.
