Help on Wheel Offset??? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

2012_camaro · 08-08-2012, 08:34 PM

I Have the 2012 Camaro Ls, Im wanting to by Kmc Rockstars and stay with 18's.
My options on the wheels are:
18x8 +32 offset
18x8 +35 offset
18x8 +42 offset
Which ones are going to be the best look and give it a wider look?

Please and thank You,

PICS WOULD BE GREAT!!!

Are you sure all of those offsets are compatible with the Camaro?
If so, the 18x8 +32 offset will move the wheels out the furthest (widest).

You're welcome!

The wheels in my signature? They are Falken RT-7M. 18x9 +25 offset.

They look great, are those on the 245/55R18 tires? and is there any drop?

Yup, stock tires. No drop yet. Maybe this weekend, if I'm lucky... There are better/more pics if you click on the sig.

Alright, i think last question, but how much did it increase the width going from a 18x7.5 to a 18x9? how much did it increase from stock?

No problem, I'll answer whatever questions I can. The wheels are 1.5" wider, but I honestly don't remember how much of a difference it makes as far as looks. I bought them wider, so I could go with wider tires when the time comes.

Alright, thanks so much for your help! i had noo clue about the offsets?

No problem! You'll learn a lot from this site! I know I did...

SUX2BU's link is helpful (he knows more about wheels than I). So is this one, which explains what offset and backspacing mean:

Before you order wheels, just make sure the offset is compatible with the Camaro. Good luck!
