Hello everybody, Im going to make my question as clear and simple as I possibly can. I want to get a set of 20" rims with 245/35/20 tires. I own a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria just like the one on this link http://www.supermotors.net/vehicles/registry/media/299600_1 As you can see the car is lowered and the wheels are tucked neatly under neath the car. I would like my car to be lowered as well. What offset and rim size do I need in order to make sure that the rims are tucked under neath and inside the car's body and not outside sticking out past the fenders. Like I said I want to lower my car, and if the offset is wrong the wheels could come out past the fenders making it impossible to lower because the fenders will then hit the wheels if lowered, you know what I mean... One "auto expert" told me I could get 20x8.5 rims with +18 offset. Another "auto expert" told me to look for 20x7.5 rims with +42 offset. Im confused. I hope your not.

It's probably best to take it to a wheel shop, you wouldn't want to risk messing it up.

NO, incorrect first answer. The offset this the area the mount floor is FROM the middle of the rim. maximum the front wheelcontinual have large positive offsets - the mount floor is farther OUT from the middle. Rearcontinual wheels have a tendency to have smaller positive or no offset (floor in lifeless center of wheel). 42mm is 42mm OUT from the middle of the rim meaning it truly is maximum in all probability a the front wheelcontinual wheel. 7" x 25.2 potential the wheel is 176.4 mm huge. 0.5 is 88.2mm. The offset makes the mating floor 40 six.2mm in from the exterior of the rim, and one hundred thirty.2mm from the contained in the rim.
