Rims offset for lanos

[delphis]

I know it is a 40mm offset, but is it bad or can it do damage to the car with a different offset? and if I can go with a different offset and what is the biggest difference I can go without casuing tire ware or rubbing?

I figured while I am getting new tires, I might as well get a new set of rims too...

The Lanos as a 49mm offset.
It is reccomended to use wheels (they're called wheels, not rims) with an offiset of 40mm and no more than 45mm.

If you use wheels with an offset of more than 49, the tires will scrape on the rear fender edges and the fender edges could get sliced and cut by the edges of the fenders.

I found this out the hard way by not checking the offset of wheels before buying them and my rear tires got cut on the sides.

To remedy this problem, I had an bodyshop roll up the inner fender edges and flair out the the rear fender sides of the car body.
With the sides flaired out and the innder fender edges rolled up, my tires no longer scrape at all.

awesome thank you for the 411 oz, I found a cool set with I think a 45mm offset for 169 and they are black too, so Ithink it will look good once I get the 2001 tail light mod done along with the blackend headlamps from tom.
