Default What offest?

Hi Im about to order a set of 18 Rota's for ny Scooby.
Can anyone tell me what offset to order? There's a choice of -
ET48 PCD 5X100 or 5x114.

My car's a "99 Type R. Fairly low especially at the front.

Thanks
Ryan

The offset is the ET = 48 mm

The PCD you need is 5x100.

Hi, I am not sure if 48 ofset it right. I would have thought it would have been 45 or 42.

I know my ofset on a 2001 bug eye is 45 and I know the ofset on a 93 wrx is 42, so I would not have thought it would have different. I could be wrong though.

If the offset gets onto the 30's with a lowered car, you could get wheelarch clearance problems.
I fancied a set of Zito Navarro's 18x8 but the offset was 35mm which may have caused clearance problems, as my STi has prodrive springs. My existing PFF7's are ET51

I had 18x7.5 inovit redlines with a ET38 and had no arch probems on 05 Sti and its a fair bit lower than what prodrive springs make it.
