Its a hassle to find any legit information... I was curious what exactly is the options for wheels as far as offset? This is if anyone has any knowledge on this specific car. It's my girlfriends car and she's looking at buying a nice set of wheels I'm just trying to help her out. Thanks in advance

Moved to suspension, wheel and tire. Please try to post in the correct section the next time arround. Good luck with the search, I'm sure searching for a Tibby forum would reveal alot.

Check out what the stock offset is, and go from there. If you have a basic understanding of what offset is and how wheel sizing affects it, you should be able to figure out what will and wont fit. Google "wheel offset calculator" for a better understanding.

i'm not very literate with it.

Its one of those things that once you get it, you get it. Its not easy to explain- if we were talking about it in person and had a wheel in front of us to demonstrate, im sure i could get you to understand it. If you want a verbal explanation, ill give it a shot, but its probably going to be long winded and not make much sense to you. lol.
