As some of you may know i have a 1993 model aristo with a v8 and airbag suspension. I have purchased a set of 20X8.5 blanks. (blanks as in they are have no stud pattern and they have not had the offset machined yet.)
they look pretty good not wog wheels or anything

I already know that the aristo stud pattern is 5x114.3.

Now my question is what offset will i need to get the front and rears machined to so the rim will actually go inside the guard?
but still look good and "fill out" the wheel archs
i will be runnin either 225 or 245 wide tires all round.
Remember i have bags so the car can be set at any height.
thanks

For the front id go about a +20 and on the back about +15

These are still weak on a 8.5J but you want to be tuckin not flush


Do you plan on having your guards lipped or rolled? or just leave them as is?

i am trying to get it tuckin . these offsets seem about right ill prob go with them. i was thinkin of removing the inner plastic guards and gettin the guards lipped . hopefully this will allow me to slam it while parked and then bag it up and drive away.

it doesnt really matter if the wheels dont turn while its parked .i just want maximum rim tuck...the 20s will be show and cruise wheels . i have a 2 sets of 17s for daily driving.
