Difference in offset?
Can any explain the difference between 18x8 +32mm (recommended) and the 18x8 +35mm... Little to nothing? I have read RominL's guide to wheel fit for the GS400 and can't seem to find wheels I like with the exact measurements recommended.
Does anyone think that 3mm will make a difference in rubbing or fender clearance?
TIA

It sounds like nothing, but 3mm made a WORLD of difference for me. My CA-05s were 35mm offset and my Techniks are 38mm offset and I rub about 80-90% less now. This especially true in the dreaded "turning right while going up a driveway" department. So dont take that 3mm lightly man, it could make a big diff, this may be more so true of really low cars, but true nonetheless.

Stupid question
Can I ask a stupid question here? After reading another thread about offset, I was looking at my stock 17" rims tonight and realized that they aren't even close to being flush with the fender. Are spacers a DIY job? Where can you get them? About how much do they cost? Does anyone out there use them with stock rims?

I really want to do 19's, but I don't want spacers, I don't want to rub, and I don't want wheel out past the well...
According to your sticky, none of the 19's I like will fit...

Axis Spider, I want the 19's but the widest wheel is still an 8... Maybe I should go with something else...
I really do want 19 and right at the fender...
