18"x8" Offset?

What would be the best offset for 18x8 wheels all around?

edit:

I just looked at this:
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7535

and it says 38 for the front and 31 for the rear. Since I am buying the same size all around what would be the recommended ammount?

Depends are you planning on lowering your car and are aiming to make it hellaflush? Otherwise stock is +48 so anything lower than that should be fine.

There are quite a few guys running 18x8 TSW's all around with a +35 offset. Doesn't "poke" and looks good.

I have 18x8 TSW's right now. +35 offset. Here are some shots of them on my car. It should give you a good overview of what the car looks like with that size and offset on it. I'm trying to find my next setup though, or another good 18in square setup to go with myself. I'm leaning towards 18x8.5 +38.

I have TSWs at 18x8 +45

Nice flush look. Like being square for tire rotations.

Depending on drop, an offset of 35-30 will work for 8" rim.

The rears will be very tucked. If you're after a flush look, you'll need a spacer.
