2005 offsets?

[litlsi]

Hey guys,

I did a little searching on the forums and over at bb.net, but I couldn't find an answer to my seemingly simple question.

::Note:: I'm a complete noob when it comes to wheels. I've never actually purchased aftermarket rims/tires before. So.. I'd like to get the 20X8.5 or the 20x10 from americanmuscle, but I honestly don't know what the difference in the offset means to me, if anything.

I've also heard of some folks using a different offsets between the fronts and rears??

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks again.

american muscle makes it easy to buy the right wheels. if it says 2005+, then they will fit. the stock offset for 2005+ is +45mm. the width of the wheel can change that number slightly. i have seen anywhere from +30mm to +52mm fitting properly on S197s. again, it will also depend on the width.
