geminis are 25mm, right?

im lookin at 18's with an offset of 35mm, would i have trouble fitting them under?

hell yes! if the car is lowered, the front wheel sits slightly further back in the guard, some people have trouble with 17's hitting the 'firewall' part of the guard on full lock. 18's would be a joke, they look a bit big on a gem anyway

For once, gene is wrong! Offset is 25 same as a piazza!

Yeah sorry not your birthday today. They are +25 and for 17's to fit you need between +35 and +40ish.

so where is gene wrong then he said 38 offset thats between 35 and 40 (geeze) where talking about 17 and 18 inch wheels.

The offset should only be changed when you change the width of the wheel, the height doesnt make a difference.
