So how do you tell the offset of a rim. im looking at a set of rims that are 18x8.5. is 8.5 the offset? if so, with that offset, will the wheels be closer to the fender than 7.5 would be?

NO, the 8.5 is the WIDTH of the wheel, not the offset. you need more information. are you looking at wheels at a shop or in a catalog, or some that an individual has? to truely answer you question, you need to supply us with some more info. if you are talking to a shop or wheel supplier....ask them what the offset or backspacing is.....and if they can't tell you, stay away from them.

so do you youthink discount tires direct is a trustworthy company? When i tryped in 2011 camaro ls they automatically knew that they came stock with the 18" rims with TPMS. So that leads me to believe they know their stuff. idk. im new to this.

Im looking at a set of rims (20" x 8.5") for my upcoming 2SS that come in either a +15 or +40 offset, im concerned with the brake clearance, am I correct to.assume (based off the above.formulas) the +15 offset will give me the backspace needed to clear the Brembos?

So in general, to clear the brembro brakes is there a reliable offset number to look for...like +15 or is it all dependent on the wheel design? Seems like this kinda data should be included in the descriptions on these websites...along with the weight of the wheel
