Does anyone know what offset I would need for 18x8 and 18x9 in wheels?

Please let me know..

Thanks,

I would say +35 for 8" and +30 for 9" sounds about right.

So +40 would be bad?

i had +40 on 17x8 and 17x9 and they fit very good.
but you will need to measure to get an exact flush fit

I don't forsee myself upgrading brakes in the next 2 years.  I wont have any money until I'm through with college..

hey DUDE,

where the #### can you go to even buy wheels that you can specify the offset or backspacing and not have to give your firstborn,  your right arm and your left nut to pay for them.  tirerack and other places sell nice wheels but you can't customize your own offset or backspacing which is really pissing me off...any suggestions?

What's the offset on the stock wheels?

Mike,
    Generally those folks will send you what they think  fits your car best.  I'm sure you can order whatever... I think many manufacturers don't make a whole lot of different offsets.
