Offsets - experts please chime in
Stock offsets for the 20" wheel are:
9Jx20 ET34 10Jx20 ET34 Most people use 12mm spacers in back for perfect/flush fitment, so the ideal offset for a custom 20" wheel of the same 10" width would be 22 (fixed). I think this part is solid (but correct me if I'm wrong). Now - let's say I move up to an 11" width in back. Since 1" = 25.4mm, an 11" wide wheel would stick out past the stock 10" out the gate by half of it's width, or 12.7mm. So a 20" wheel with 11" width using an offset of 34 would actually stick out FURTHER in back than the OEM 20+12mm spacer by 0.7mm. Therefore the ideal offset, being slightly conservative to avoid rubbing, for a 20x11 wheel, would actually be 35, which would tuck under by 0.3mm vs an OEM 20+12mm spacer. Does all this sound right? Once this is confirmed (or corrected), I can figure the front and finally consider myself as having fully understood offsets. Thanks Last edited by dhirm5; 08-31-2013 at 05:30 PM.. |

Yes; a 11Jx20 ET35 will have the same look as a 10Jx20 ET22 (ET34 with a 12mm spacer) Check out www.willtheyfit.com to help visualize the look as well as diff tire sizes. |

So optimal flush offsets for our cars for custom 20" wheels with 9.5"/11" widths front/rear is:
Front: 9.5Jx20 ET29 (equiv to an 11.4mm spacer on OEM) Rear: 11Jx20 ET35 (equiv to an 11.7mm spacer on OEM) ** Some might want to use a bigger offset in back to stay closer to the somewhat more common 10mm spacer in the rear - add 2mm to the offset to bring that poke down to a more conservative 9.7. Hope this helps someone. |

Sorry to revive an old thread but need expert opinion. I want to go with some custom wheels and would like to do 20x10 front and 20x11 rear. Has anyone went with a 10 inch wide wheel upfront. I was planning to go with 20x10 et 34 front and 20x11 et 35 rear. Do you guys think this would work.
