I've been searching for hours but havn't been able to find the perfect offset for a 18x8 wheel on a 98TF could anyone who own's 18x8s let us all know what offset you have and if there is any fouling or scrubbing anywhere

Cheers :D

dont quote me on this but i thought the 3rd gens had an offset of 46+ but im not 100%on that im sure somone else here can correct me. good luck.
i just searched the third gen section and found out ur offset from factory is +46. if u need info on ur car use the search button cause its ur friend and if u still cant get the info u need ask and we'll all do our best for ya.

Uhh!! may help... i'm guessing an offset of 50+ might be best :S grr wish i knew for sure tho :(

or u can just find sum rims with the same factory offset +46 and then ull know 100% it'll work.

According to Tempe Tyre's Wheel Wizard you need +40 offset for 18's on a Magna.

where'd you find that info? care to help me findout the offset needed for 20s?

dunno if this is accurate or not but it reckons +40 even for 20" rims

hmmm, interesting.... hope they know what their talking bout, cause im getting my wheels off them :bowrofl:
im not really too crazy knowing about offsets. as long as the wheel rolls and fits im happy

I have 18x8s on mine and i have no idea what the offset is but they fit perfectly on my TJ.A good idea that would save you a lot of hassle would just be to buy mine!!:D :D

Ralliart-akko and Vrada - the offset has nothing to do with the diameter of the rims weather they're 15-20". Its the width of a rim that the offset relates to. it generally changes to better accomodat the whole width of the wheel in the arch so that it won't scrub on anything on the inside whilst still trying to keep it within the guard. i'm assuming that there'd be a different in offset from say a 6" wide rim to 8 or 9.5" to ensure that. i'll be speaking to bobjane tomorrow about an offset of 46+ to 50+ will see what the figure is for the 18x8s (dished) that i'll be getting and let u know :P but thanks heaps

Just careful dealing with them they gave me tyres with wrong profile AND load rating :gtfo:

yeah, exactly my point, he kept pushing the 225/35R20s and i was like nah man 235 at the least.
but he wouldnt budge, im thinking i may just try getting the wheels off them and thats all.

ALWAYS PAY CASH AT TEMPE... not getting into details, just only pay cash.

I have 8" wide on the back with a offset 50 and it scrubed real bad had to do some modification with a big hammer, from what i know the right offset is 38 for a 8" wide rim.

rim i intend on getting is 8.5" wide like dee and ego's

i got a +35 offset on my rims. 8.5" wide, no touching anywhere, not even on the trailing arm at the rear, even wit 4 ppl in the boot and 4 in the back seat it only rubs slightly.

Well i called bobjane and they told me that they didn't know the offset but ensured me that the new wheels would fit. But they'd be illegal unless my tyre placard lists an optional wheel of 7"wide from factory does anybody know if it lists it coz i'm at work right now :cry: for a 98TF hmm maybe i could rip a placard of the vrx or something :badgrin:

grr might have to get an engineering certificate :rant:

Offtopic : you were driving with HOW MANY people in your car? 9? :nuts:

anyone owning a VRX 1998 to 2002 could you let me know if the tyreplacard has a rim size of 7.00J if so please PM me :)

i was told magna/verada up to 02 was +45, whered u get 35 from???

and the 9 ppl comment is based on those photos from the car show u attended correct. not some stupid taxi service u give to drunk fools.....

you need to counter act the width of the tyre with the offset otherwise it will scrub.
