Offset only has a meaning if you quote a rim width.

P.S. I run 8x19 ET44 on my bugeye, and needed some arch clearance work, a blob won't.

I've got one set with 48 and another with 53 and i think the 53's sit a little to far in the arch.

48 or lower in my opinion

And both of my sets are 8" in width.

It will obviously be different for 7.5's
