stock wheel offset

So I have been searching forever in the threads and havent been able to locate knowledge of the stock wheel offset. Anyone know what they are?
I'm planning to get some new wheels but dont want them rubbing on the fender flare things since the car is about 1.25" lower.

Which wheels do you have?

See here for a list of (most of?) the stock wheels, complete with offset. That's the "ET" number in the chart on that page.

Looks like the 15s are ~45mm, 16s go up to ~48mm, 17s go to 50mm, and 18s to 52mm. With some exceptions, of course.

There's a handy reference for wheels here: http://www.mini2.com/forum/faq.php?faq=faq_wheels_tyres (offsets noted as "ET").

Heh heh--that's exactly the page the link I posted (the word "here" in my post) goes to.

Stock wheel offset: Shitty.

Hahaha.

I know its in the mid - high 40s as said.

My +35s need 10MM spacers and they would be pretty flush.
