RPF1: 18x8 in 35 or 45 offset

RAIJIN: 18x8 in 35 or 45 offset

GTC01: 18x7.5 in 48 offset; 18x8 in 35 or 48 offset

EV5: 18x7.5 in 38 or 45 offset

Any reason (other than looks) to prefer one over the other? And how do I determine which offset is right?
you pretty set on enkei?..they're cost vs strength ratio is awesome, don't get me wrong, just curious.

if you're going with a 225/40 18 tire, i'd say go 8" wide, it's a better fit IMO.

for 8" wide, it seems your offset choices are 35 or 45. If you care about the Look, +35 will Sit better. but your steering geometry will stay truer with the +45.

The +45 will poke ~15mm more than stock, the +35 ~25 mm more than stock. If you're not planning on lowering at all the +35 might look strange.

With a large drop (1.5"+) the +45's even with their 15mm of "poke" may still end up looking very tucked.

but i mean, if all you care about is the drive, the +45 is a better fit. provided it clears the inner suspension. you'll have ~10mm less inner clearance..you're likely fine. a +35 has the same inner clearance as stock.
