what are the proper offsets on these cars to go with wheels such as 18x9 or 18x9.5 or 18x10?

i want them to look flush with my fender, what offsets do you guys recommend?

Ford_Dude

wow I need to know that as well the site I'm going to buy from has two offsets available

Flush with the fender? 18x9= about a 25mm offset, 18x10=about 35mm.

Here's 18x9 with 24mm offset.

so 20-30 offset should be fine?

Again, you're talking about 2 different wheel widths you're putting on the front and back of the car, so you need different offsets if you want them to line up perfectly. If you don't mind the back sticking out more then you can go with a smaller (numerically lower) offset. My numbers in the first post are a rough estimate of perfection.

Mine are 38 mm front and 42 mm rear..

They seem perfect to me

Those sound more like pre-05 offset numbers. For an 18 x 9 or 10 the proper offset for the '05 -07 is usually 40 - 45mm I believe. Check out the Tire Rack site. It's a great source fortire sizing, offset, wheel weights, etc.

Also check http://www.americanmuscle.com

They list 18 x 9 FR500wheels in 24mm offset for the 94-04 cars and 36mm offset for 05 - 07. Depending on the wheel, on the '05 and up I think you run the risk of insufficient caliper clearance with the smaller offset, especially in the front.
