Choosing wheel offsets?

Choosing wheel offsets?
I'm looking to upgrade from Ap2v1's. If I want my new wheels to fit like my current wheels, do I need to buy rims in the same offsets? I am completely stock. Thanks.

if you want them to fit the same then get the same size and offset.
BTW there is a great sticky for picking size and offset. so be ready for a bunch of people to be rather moody about you not searching.
i guess you caught me in a good mood, cause somethimes i am that moody person. either way put your flame suit on

After reading some more I understand how offsets work. What offsets can I use if I do not want to modify my fenders? If the sticky is correct, then I have a +65 rear offset. I haven't been able to find a lot of rims available in this offset =/

I read the stickies but was a little confused by them. Maybe I'm slow, lol.
Edit: I think I understand this offset business now. =) The only reason for fender rolling is so that the rubber does not stick out past the fender correct?

Thanks for the info. So I guess if I use the same width wheel as OEM with a lower offset, +45 for example, the wheels will not stick out as far as my stock wheels...

What are the lowest offsets I could use with a stock suspension setup?
Mind you, there are people who will actively encourage you to go much lower on offsets, but you don't have to take their advice.
Basically, the higher the offsets you run, the wider tires you can fit. Nothing dumber looking than an S with skinny tires on low-offset wheels that are too wide for the tires (but narrower than you could run with higher offsets), with the totally exposed wheel lip sticking out well beyond the fender lip. To me anyway...

Great information. Thank you. Is getting my fenders rolled inevitable? If I run +45 offset, my wheel will stick out .78 inches farther than stock which is past the fender. That would be illegal right? Would that even look ok?
