Mine have a ET44, with a 8.5" width, and a 225 tyre.

No rubbing on standard arches

The offset will change depending on the width. To keep the centre of the wheel where the designer intended, you need to add 12.7mm of offset for every inch of rim width added.

If you use offset to locate a wider rim, keeping it clear of the struts on the inside and the arch on the outside, youll completely f*ck up the vehicles handling.
