The offset on polished BBS rc 18' x 8.5" is..............

I also went with Yokohama AVS db 225-40-18.
I was concerned on loud road noise. These tires are quiet at any speed and they grip the road like ducktape. Great tire. Feel free to ask any more questions, wheels are 50% of the look of a car.

Thanks again man, and I promise...last question!
Were the wheels available in a 35 offset? I'm sure the 32 will work, but I'm thinking if they offer them in a 35 offset, it might be safer to go that route. I plan on ordering on Friday or Saturday...can't wait to get them on the car!

I think just 32 offset because..........
they are 8.5" wide. What do you meen safer with a 35 offset? I got mine from Tirerack and they did a great job knowing what wheel size fits what car.
The 32offset fits perfect. Any farther out and the tire would go past the top of the fender and any wider and they would rub the inside ( its about one finger width from tire to the upper suspension arm). I guess what I'm saying is they are the widest wheel tire combo I can fit. Its real close with rubbing against the suspension (they dont). They look massive and make the overall stance of the car looks wide.
