Standard firment, tyre wise, is 235/45-17

Someone clever will give the rim offset.

That's a tyre size ;). It's the rim size eg 18 x 8J you need to concentrate on & more importantly the offset eg ET39 (can't think what the Omega's is  :-\)

Does the offset varies with rim?

The Irmscher 18" rims for Omega are ET32, I seem to recall the standard 17" rims are ET35(?)  ??
