What would be the ideal offset for 18x8 wheels for a 2wd sapphire cosworth?

Thanks

Rears are usually ok as long as its not lowered too much, maybe rub the arch liner when loading up round fast corners.

Fronts benefit from having arches rolled.

I've got ET45...... were supposed to be ET35 but didn't realise until I took them off for winter that I'd been supplied the wronguns....lol
Car sits nice with the ET45's that's all that matters imo.

Ive got a set of 18's that are peugeot offset, so the face of the wheel sits nice and flush with the side of the car as u look down it.

joys of working in a wheel sales place and trying wheels on all day

got another set which are RWD ford, but they sit slightly in more... prefer them sitting flush with the arch though... hmmm choices choices !!

whats wrong with et42????????? the thing to remember is if the numbers higher that just means the wheel sits in the arch more and if its too much you can use spacers which is no big deal just to bring it out ect ............

Are these offset / rim size values different for three doors...
Assuming it is - what is the rim size and offset that can be run on a three door without scrubbing, I need to get some soon

I can modify the arches if need be as car is to painted (its bare body currently) but need to know exactly what should be done to do it right. I want to keep the standard arch/ skirt kit.

I have a friend that bought a nice set for his and they scrub...
I want to avoid this...

either trim your arches, fit 215 width tyres, or get an offest which is relatively high - i.e. 35 upwards ish

shouldnt scrub then
