    hey LT guys, i need help understanding our offset. like oh rims we can fit are 5x114, 18x7, and a +43 offset..
    Can our lancers fit a rim that is 17x7 with a 45mm offset..? Or a 18x7.5 with a +48mm offset..?
    So can anyone explain offset and about the rims that can and cant fit on our lacners.. Plus i dont want the rims im thinking about to rub.. so please help me out..

    i think they can but don't quote me, check around on tirerack.com, select your car. and look at rim sizes and offset and compare with the ones you want.

    I have 17x7 with a 38mm offset on my lancer and it works well, the tire is 215/50. At 38 mm offset the tires fit pretty flush, they don't stick out of the wells too far.

    this is what it looks like:
