Default Offset?

I have no idea how to calculate offset. That's above my pay grade at this point. However, I will find out and pass along once I leave the shop this morning.

Hopefully the new tires will fit.

Good news on the cosmetic front:

I found a great place here in JAX to do the wrapping. Color matching the pearl white wasn't going to happen, so we were exploring options in regards to handles, platinum panel etc. Finally, I decided to have them just wrap the whole thing in white, with the front grill and other trim black. That way there will be no color matching issues, and that ugly Platinum sign will just blend into the tailgate.

I'm feeling pretty confident about the chrome overlay, as they say they do chrome overs all the time. The fact that the shop was packed with insanely expensive cars, and their portfolio of Lambos Ferraris, and other high end wraps, gives me confidence as well.

They're also going to smoke the tail lights.

Bad new is that they are booked 4 weeks out!

I'm pretty sure I should have waited on my original order, but after a long wait with no VIN or explanation, I was over it.

Offset is simple. Just think of it as how far the wheel stick out or how far tucked in.

This all I have for now weather has been pretty crappy since I put them on! They fit perfect no level either! Found out you can't do anykind of negative offset on these new ones with out rubbing the max you can go is like +18 unless you do a lift. I'm at +30 with the 305/45/22 and they sit flush with the fender now looks way better! They measure at 32.8"

Default Daaaaamn!

15150, that thing is sick! I found out my offset is -12, and I now get the gist of it-the distance between the mounting flange and the center of the rim.

The new tires should do the trick.

This might help.

Offset is relevant to rim width as well. Et15 on a 20x8 with sit different than Et15 on a 20x9
