Hi, could someone please tell me what offset I can get away with please? I currently have 17" Devonports which I think are ET55 (may be wrong) and I'm interested in some 18"s which are ET37. So I believe the lower the number the more sticky out they are? Sorry as I know its a question that has been asked before I just wanted to know on these two differences. Many thanks in advance. Also mine is lowered 30mm, not that should make much difference.
Depends what width the 18s are ?
Have you seen the sticky post at the top of this forum, has info on wheel sizes and some explanations plus a few links to pages about offset, worth a read if your not sure

18x8" ET37 will only stick out 1.7mm more than my 19x8.5 ET45 on 255/45 tyres on the fronts which as you can see on mine is pretty much perfect, unless you intend on putting some pretty oversized tyres on.
The rears have loads more tolerance to play with.

Hi, I have just purchased a T30 which has come with 215 x 60 x 17 wheels/tyres. I want to replace them with some Hawke alloys which are 20 x 9 ET42, so to fit 275 x 35 tyres. I cannot see though what the offset is on the original wheels and so wanted to check they will fit within the arch etc. Could anyone help please.
