HRE C21s on the FRS? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hi guys, I know I will be somewhat flame but I can't seem to find the offset for my HRE wheels. Should I call the company and ask them about the specs or email HRE directly? The wheels were meant for my CLK550 using a staggered setup. I tried searching the stickies and found that this particular setup would work but depends greatly on the offset. I wasn't given any offset when I ordered the wheels so I'm kinda shooting in the dark. As I said earlier, I could contact them and ask for the exact specs but the thing is that the wheels were meant to fit the CLK. I don't use them on my CLK because we got tired of swapping wheels for winter and summer so we just changed stock tires to all-season. The HRE's have been sitting in storage and I want to put these bad boys on my FR-S. Here are some pics of it on the benz.

Front: 18x8.5 235/40R Bridgestone Potenza RE-11

First off, you're going to need to buy hub adapters to convert the bolt pattern. This also "subtracts" from the offset of the wheel since it pushes it out further.

Then you're just going to have to measure the offset on your own with the wheel off the car. HRE doesn't advertise or stamp the offsets on their wheels.

Once you have the offset and hub adapter thickness, you will have your new offset spec and can determine how it'll fit on the car.
