What offset wheel for 20's or 22's

tommyl · 01-26-2005, 11:01 AM

I want to get either 20's or 22's on my 05' CC but do not know what size to get in the width and offset so I can get them to fit flush with the sides. I don't want the to stick out any if att all.

Thanks

I went with 18mm offset, 20 x 8.5 w/ 305/50R20's.

They stick out a little bit to the sides, but nothing rubs. If they were in any tighter I think the tires would run at full turn, so if you want the wheels in tighter I think you'd need a narrower tire.

you need at least a +15 offset to run a 275-55-20 and a +20 or better to run a 305-50-20 without them sticking out at all.

the closer to the stock +25 is always better

Not always true, It depends on the wheel and tire combination. For example a 10" wide wheel with a 25 offset will be 1" closer to the suspension parts were as if it had a 0 offset it would be the same distance as stock from the suspension parts but will stick out an extra 50mm (about 2").

Check out this site, it's a good reference for wheel/tire combinations.
