Everyone will tell you that you need to provide more information. For example, obviously a +30 offset recommendation would "look" and fit differently on a 9.5" wide wheel versus an 8.5" wheel. Then from there you can manipulate fitment even further with your tire size selection; showing either a stretched look, or fat setup etc etc

Good luck.

WOW! That is such a vague question. Even the n00b found the thread.

OP, next time put in a little effort and do a search. You will learn there is no such thing as a perfect offset.

Perfect is a word that is just way to opinion based. Rimtuck.com and look at cars and see what you like. Search through the dozens and dozens of wheel posts on the forum. 20 x what LOL -

Perfect wheel offset? Depends on the car, the wheel width, how low the car is...

Perfect for me is where they are right out to the fender and the fenders have been pulled & cut.

It's a matter of perspective.

Sounds about right!

FYI... I have 8.5" fronts (+37) and 9.5" rears (+42). My fronts fit nice...probably could go a couple of millimeters further out. My rears are a little "sunken in" - they could perhaps go another 5-10 millimeters further out. All without fender mods.
