    I know everyone loves this question with wheel offsets and will the rim fit their car. i found this page which has a calculator for wheel offsets.

    I know that you also have to take in to account the design of the spokes and if they curve in but the rim should be test fitted before purchase.

    I have a question regarding what tyre width would suit a 10" rim and a 10.5" rim.

    Also could someone please list the specs of standard zed wheels. i know the tires are 225/50/16. but whats the width of the rim and the offset?

    Jap spec cars have 7.5" rims front and rear with 225/50/16 tyres. The US spec car has 8.5" rims on the rear and they take 245/45/16. Check what rubber you prefer, go to their site, and somewhere you should find a list showing the recommended rim width range for each tyre size. Also of note is the circumference of the tyre and this gives you a guide as to what profile you should need.
    You might find the exercise frustrating when you find that for your rim width and wheel diameter you can't get the tyre in the version that you want. eg a lot of manfs don't make a 245/45/16 in the grade of tyre I want.
    Can't help with the offset.
