Gettin into a right state tryin to sort some wheels for my project. I think I want about 15x10 for the rear and 15x8 for the front. They need to be 4x108 fitment. I son't know how to work out the offset but I hope someone on here does and can help me out! I measured from the hub to the edge of the outer arch lip front and back. The rear is 6.5 inches The front is 6 inches. On this size wheel, what offsets am I looking for? Thanks for your help in advance. (ps anyone know of any wheels to fit the bill or will offer the same wide effect? I'm shying away from 13"s due to tyre cost and availability. 15's seem to be easier to get tyres. I have £££ waiting for the right set just cant flamin find any!! Heres some cool pics as 'payment' for help!!!     |

a bunch of wheels can be custom ordered in 4x4.25" PCD. Best bet would be something like the Raceways Racelite. Looks like the old Promod Centerline but cheaper and in custom PCD  just the trick for the look you're apeing there. www.racewaysdiecastmodels.co.uk/acatalog/Raceways_Racelite_Alloys.htmlavailable in 3 finishes (as cast, black & polished lip & diamond cut) in 7x15, 8x15 and 10x15. |

image wheels have a large range of design and all are made to your specifications. will probs be up to £1k +tyres but they look good. tells you what measurements you will need to take also. www.imagewheels.co.uk/i think a 15x10 would need to be 0 offset or below. 15x8 would prob be ok in 0 offset also. what car will it be going on? |

To fill them there arches i reckon you'll need an offset of -25 on front and rear if my sums are correct.
