Offset Question

Post by Damien »

I was thinkin of picking up a 2nd set of rims. Reading about the OZ superleggera made me want a set. At approx 11 lbs for the 15" im considering a set of 15 x 7 with some falken azenis 205/50.
The place local to me that sells these rims has the 15" with 37 offset.
My Question is for 15" rims, which is the proper offset i should have?

I always thought 42 was the correct offset. :shrug:

+45 is stock, but it changes depending on width, because of how silly "offset" works. This is why backspacing is a much better system, but whatever...

+37 is fine. Use a 205/50/15 tire. Shouldn't have any rubbing.
