Default Need help on wheel info

bought some wheels that are 5x100 and bought adapters to make it fit on my gs400. i dont think it look good at all cause the front sticks out like crazy. i been trying to find the offset but i dont fully understand how to calculate. i measured the inside to outerlip which is 5.75. can anybody help me please. been trying and searching for a few days but cant figure it out. what offset do it need to be at on 20" so it dont stick out to much?

fronts are 20x9
rears are 20x10

Correct offset for a 9" wide wheel without sticking out very much would be somewhere from +30 to +45 mm...

Chances are your wheels are +38 or so, as that is very common for generic aftermarket wheels, then you add adapters, which are usually 25mm or so, giving your wheels an effective offset somewhere around +10 to +15mm

I dont think these are generic wheels. I have searched and founs out that these are forgeline sp3p 3 piece wheels. Thinking bout having them filled and redrilled. I think its much better than running an adapter. Thanks for the reply.

Why don't you just sell them and buy the proper fitment???

yah, they aren't generics, but, they are still designed for your typical high offset fwd fitment...
