Hi all i am thinking about getting some Dish Work Equips 18"x9.5 front and 18"x10 rear although i not quite sure what offset to get?

I have an S1580 with 20mm wide front fenders and 50mm wide rear fenders also S14 5 stud conversion all round.

any help would be great

Cheers Matt

It'll vary quite alot depending on:
Tyre selection
Height of the car
Camber settings
Where exactly you want the wheels to sit

Your camber settings will still affect the offset drastically.

what does it mean when people say
18x9.5" +25

i know what 18 means the rim diameter
9.5" means width (im not sure what size tyres go on that though)
but what does the +25 or whatever mean ?

for eg i have an s14, what offset would i need and how would i know what car needs what ?

sorry for encroaching on your thread man..

Here is a simple explanation, google a more in depth one if you want...
The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centreline of the wheel. The offset can be one of three types;

Zero Offset.....
-The hub mounting surface is even with the centreline of the wheel.

Positive offset...
-The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars.

-Negative offset........
The hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheels centreline. "Deep dish" wheels are typically a negative offset.

And here is a offset calculater...
