I'm about to order custom 16x10 wheels for this car:

it's got 20mm front fenders and 50mm rear overfenders.
any suggestions for offset?

how flush do you want them? if it were my car and i were getting 16x10 i would make the offset like a mmm -10 to fit that wide body, but im also a offset whore i have to get the lowest, thats in the rear, in the front i would do like a +10-15

i think 16x10 +20 front and 16x10 -20 be good for the rear

Just a random question here but why would you not want to get 17's instead of 16's? I think the wider body would look better with a bigger wheel

I would go somewhere with 17x10 (+10 - -5) for the rear depending on tire size and 9" (+5 - -5) for the front But thats just my opinion

Wow 16x10!! That is nice! But man is tire sizes limited. What brand wheels we talkin' here? A 16x10 with at +20 to +10 offset would be good for 20mm wide fenders. I think going lower than +20 is too much. I swear the 10 inch width in the front is too much! But good luck let us see pictures when your done!

16 x 10 tires are cheap because it's a mustang size.


I'm really tired of big wheels myself. Maybe I'm getting old. I just want affordable and cheap with proper width and offset without spacers. I have been putting this car together for over 2 years and I'm ready to get it up and running to the track. I think the 16x10's with the proper ride height will look fine.

I think this car has 16 inch wheels, and it's using the same kit as mine:
