I think one central thread would be good to have everyone post a pic of their car and the offsets they are running. I know I like the look of a more flush offset (lower) and on my previous car I ran a extremely low offset (17 front and 35 rear) to poke the wheels. I am trying to decided what the optimal offset would be.

Here is a pic of my old car for the new one is a stock silver c300. Wheel specs were 18x9 and 18x10.5

Matt the Jetta is a beauty! Great stance

I was going to throw a pic of my old STI up, but Photobucket is not working. Either way I had a semi aggressive set up with 18x9 advan RG II's. I'll be selling those in the spring and getting something for the C.

Thanks, this is basically what I was looking for.

Can people please start posting more pictures and specs of wheels. I am looking at 18's vs 19's. I am looking to run the lowest offset as possibly ( mid to low 40's) and probrably around 8.5-9 inch wide. Also I am creeping on the H&R supersports right now. Show me what you have!!

Another question I have been having a hard time to track down was the exact offset of these wheels.

This is a good thread idea, unfortunately, my stock 17's have no place here... Though I would like some pics!

Those look like the 2009 stock 17" wheels. If so, and staggered, 47 on the front 7.5" wheel and 58 on the rear 8.5" wheel.

Here is a thread from one of our customers who has physically experimented with various offsets and tire sizes. It is very informative:

Keep it going!!!

I definitely like the lower offset wheels on the c3. Its almost to flush with higher offset wheels, it looks nice when the wheels come out a little. More aggressive.

Will 8j with ET42 be fine on W204?

Matt_Eurojerks

Damn nice. What is the make of the wheel? I want to see what a 3/4 or pics where I can see the "flushness" of the wheels.

Matt_Eurojerks

The wheels will be 4mm in towards the center line of the car then this setup.

Matt_Eurojerks

I like to use this offset calculator to find what is going to happen to the wheels. It;s a lifesaver.

Great thread that can def be of some help! BUMP!

And noob ?, what is ET?

Matt_Eurojerks

ET= offset number.

Wheels are usually stamped with their offset using the German prefix "ET", meaning "Einpresstiefe" or, literally, "insertion depth". An example would be "ET45" for a 45mm offset.

Very good info! Thanks for the clarification!
