Factory offsets are +52mm in the front and +64mm in the rear. The Vossen's I just got in (not installed yet) are +30 front and +40 rear.

Wouldnt you want More offset, and not less. My factory wheels barely clear my brakes

@mrrrkva more offset would move the outside face of tire inboard, less offset moves the outside face of tire outboard, giving additional brake caliper to wheel clearance. Here is a good explanation of wheel offset: https://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech...t&gclsrc=aw.ds

Use this calculator here to get a before and after of the offset change. I have seen as wide as 20x10's up front which really surprised me.
