Well, it's not quite that simple. If your new wheels are wider or narrower than the OEM ones, you need to account for that in finding the appropriate offset for the new wheels.

With aftermarket rims id run something more agressive, that brings the wheel out to the fender more. Widens the stance of the car and looks much much better in my opinion. |
