Offsets for aftermarket 15/16 wheels

[Jin1976]

I am currently looking at Volk Racing TE37 of the oem 15/16 sizes. What would be the proper offsets so that the wheels sit flush to the fenders? Will the wheel be concave due to the thin width of the wheels? Also will they clear the oem 91 brakes? Thanks.

OEM are 15'x6.5' ET=55 and 16'x8 ET=60.

The ET you need sit the wheels flush to the fenders will depend on the width of them. If you keep the same wheel width as stock, you should go ~ET=25 front and ~ET=20 rear.

It would be good to go with wider wheels like 7.5' fronts and 9' rear in order to be able to stretch wider tires on them (215 or 225/45/15 fronts and 245/45/16). If you go 7.5' fronts, take ~ET=35. If you go 9' rear, take ~ET=30.

Thank you asylum. That is what I wanted. I'd like to keep the width as the oem. I am looking at having lighter and sporty looking wheels as well as keeping the price of tires low. Not that I'm skimming on the performance of the tires. Also the ride is more comfortable with the high profile tires and the TCS is happy. Only downside of the oem is the offsets. I have 35mm adapter on the rear at the moment. I will check with the shop how much those sizes would cost (preferable colour would be white).
