wheel offsets?

I'm running Volk GTC's. Front 18x9 +42. Rear 18x10 +44. There's not much room on the inside of the rear to spare on my car, so be forewarned. I'd consider the fitment pretty much perfect. Too much offset though and they won't fit.

Why? Please explain fully...
Okay, as the owner of two MkIII's, and several sets of rims and tires, I'll tell you my trials and tribulations. :wuteva: Lol! I'd say that 18x8 with a 30mm, or 25mm offset are ideal on the front. 235's or 245's, should be no problem,...if your car is not slammed 2.5-4" on coilovers! In the rear, I'm currently running 18x9.5's, with a 265/35, susp. drop is 1.3" ( ST's all around) No rubbing issues. I'm going to try 275's next month, but I don't forsee a problem. My last set of rims, I had 18x8.5's up front (35mm) offset, I did have to push the inner fenderwell a little. A heat gun and baseball bat works fine. You just have to remember that you have those suckers on there, and not stuff it into a corner too hard! If I get another set of rims, it won't be 18's again, but 17's, a little more tire under the rim= less bent rims, and less stress on my old kidneys! :blah: Hope that helps you. Don't let any of the Discount/Big O tire yo yo's tell you, that you can't put ten inch rims on the back of a Supra... they're full of SHIT!!! :rant2:
Peace
Peace

no real science jon...lol i have just had bad experiences going with anything outside of those ranges...whether it be on my car or a friends...dont get me wrong...im sure if dont right offsets outside of those ranges would work fine...BUT thats why i said i PERSONALLY wouldnt go outside of it
thanks for the help, guys. those links are saved.
but, i still dont grasp the concept fully, and before i drop some money, will these fit:

I'm no expert, so don't blame it on me if they don't fit! That said I think they will fit in the 35 offset. I don't know for sure though.
Btw...They would look pretty sic on a black car!

I have those, 18x10, bought them from the same guy. with 275/35/18 tires, the fenders had to be rolled on mine, and they are still real real close. You might be allright if your car isnt lowered a ton.
here check this site out, and then go measure your car. This site is assuming that the total tire height doenst change though.
