GTC01's Offsets

[05GTLIB]

Hey guy's need your advice, im really keen on the GTC01's but not too sure on which offset to go for, yes i've searched through a LOT of threads trying to find my answer. Basically the ones im after are 18" and 8" wide, these come in two offsets, 48 which i think looks a bit boring/standard or 35 which im concerned may stick out a bit too far,im running BC coilovers if that makes a difference, i dont mind lifting my car a little i just dont want to have to run at 4WD height if you know what i mean, ill be using 225 tyres, any opinions?

48 would be a lil too weak.
35 is nice, just need -2 camber and perhaps roll ur guards.

currently running +50 offset on some 19x8s ... front is pretty good, wouldnt want +35 with my lowering, would need roll + probs camber
rear could easily go out more

[05GTLIB]

Wow cheers for the quick reply, my gaurds are already rolled so thats one less thing i guess i have to worry about lol, yeh i can see there's quite a bit of room at the back, i guess its more the front that concerns me even with camber im concerned i ll have to lift it too much for my liking, if i can help it i really want little to no gap between tyre and fender

[bates91]

if theyre already rolled then go +35
what tyres you putting on them? 225/40? get some 215/40 if you want to be more sure theyll clear. plus bonus hellaflush points

18 x 8 +48. Fills the guards nicely with no crazy camber needed to clear front and rear. You can have it low and not scrub on turning.

Form AND function.

Lol, hmmmmm now you've got me thinking

Hi mate, the only thing that puts me off this is that its more or less exactly what im running atm, except my wheels are only 7.5" wide so im thinking should i go something different? Just not sure weather to go with something this extreme

[cruisn]

We're providing opinions, you have to make the decision.

[bates91]

go the 48s and put a spacer in the rear if you want to beef it out more. rears dont turn anyway so dont have to worry as much about clearance issues

[blacktop™]

Don't go the 48's...you'll barely be able so see them they'll be sunken so far behind your guards

And don't run any spacers either, you're in a position to buy the right wheels right now. Don't buy the wrong wheels and have to buy spacers as well.

Go the 35's. You already have coils and your guards are already rolled. You're ready to go!

[brenton]

^^ agreed

Im still waiting on my wheels 18x8.75 +35 and am starting to think I maybe should have gone a little more agressive... definitely go with the +35 coz nobody likes sunken wheels.

[05GTLIB]

Haha cheers guys, i thnk you' ve helped me make my decision

Plus 1

And go for a 235

Cruisn rolled my guards this week. I am currently running 18x8 +42 on 225 40 18, natural camber...but I'm now looking for wide/more aggressive. the fronts look ok, but rears still look a bit weak. 18x8.5 +42 would be perfect imho

I know enkei don't make 8.5" in 5x100..so 8" +35 with a bit more camber would be the go I reckon
