please advice on wheels offsets.

hi im getting a new rim. still undecided on the size seems theres so much rubbing issues. also i will install some high-low soft-hard adjustables.

therefore please help me with this setup, in order not to have any rubbing issues.

What is the car stock rim offset?

i want the sidewall of the rubber to be aligned with the side wall of the car body.
but without rubbing.

195/50/16 - rims should be what offset? 16x??? offset ???

195/50/15 - rim should be what offset? 15x??? offset ???

i love the look on this ride by silverjazz77 guy.

195/50/16
16x70jj offsett 44

the setup is exactly like i want.

question, will the setup be affected by different adjustables?
i want that exact look, and no rubbing.

it would be wise to decide if you are lowering the vehicle as well...and if so, what will you use? stock, springs or coilovers? that is a huge factor that may decide whether you'll rub or not as well.

i got my taiwan made SSR type F 16 inch, offset 42.

wrapped with potenza andrenaline re001 205/45/16. i should have opted for 205/50/16...now my wheels seems like a 15inch...

with coilover, no rubbing even with full load (cannot see behind)...also no rubbing. front 2 finger, rear 3 finger...

If your on coils let that finger gap be 1/2 finger for the best look. Imo

that is for the front only, or both front and back?

im afraid that if i go lower, my front camber will be off...

with 2 finger gap at the front, i have adjusted the front camber to -0.5 both sides...
