What offset do I need for my performance car?
The right wheel offset for your performance car depends on your platform, suspension setup, fender clearance, and how aggressive a fitment you want -- our fitment tool and team can help dial it in.
Offset requirements vary significantly depending on your specific platform. Here is a general guide:
JDM performance platforms (Evo, WRX/STI, Civic, Supra, etc.): Most run 5x100, 5x114.3, or 5x120 bolt patterns. Offsets in the +35 to +45 range are common for a flush or slightly aggressive fitment. Going lower (more negative) pushes the wheel outward for more poke.
Key factors for your specific car:
- Bolt pattern and hub diameter
- Current suspension setup -- stock vs coilovers vs air suspension affects clearance significantly
- Fender and wheel well clearances
- Whether you run a staggered or square setup
