What offset for 18x10s

Post by perrinsohc »

Looking at some 18x10 rims. What would be the ideal offset for a wheel this size for a narrow body starion? The ones advertised are +15

Did you have 285/30/18 tyres on 18x10 rims with +12 offset?
Did they clear ok on the inside?
Did you have to lip the guards or pump them out?
