Smile 18 " offset question- please!

I want to order 18 inch rims that fit my 7 and 8. What I need to know what size offset should I get to fit 18 x 8.5 front and 18 x 9.5 rear with 245 35 18 and 275 30 18 respectively. I am thinking + 48, will this work as it will work well for the 7?

I am running TEIN FLEX coilovers on the 7.


Thanks

Steve

I am looking at 275 35 18 or 285 30 18 tires for these wheels, and am running K2 trailing arms, any suggestions?

You could look at one of several threads here to answer your question, but, yes +48 is a great offset for those sizes. Proper tire sizes would be 235/40 or 245/35 up front, 265/35 or 275/35 in the back.

OK, I guess I should change my Avatar. How about the following?
