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/...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.

Buy your tires but not the rims. Jack up the car and take off a tire.Put a new tire where it needs to be and measure from the hub to the center of the tire. This is what you off set should be. Draw a cut away picture of your tire and hub to show the sales man.
