Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

[Jimmysmk3]

would an 18x10 dished rim with a 45 mm offset clear the fender and the spring and strut?

 

[BorHor]

^ it should. Might get close to the spring/strut but it should be fine.

 

[Jimmysmk3]

ok. cause i've noticed that it seems like most people running a 10 inch rim with a dish in the back are running 35 mm offsets

 

[squrillbait]

guess the +25 wasnt clear enough. its a +25mm offset does that clear things up?

 

[Jimmysmk3]

right, but u have fender rolls. I'm not gonna have that so I was just wondering if a 45 mm offset will fit in the fender w/o a roll and not rub the spring

 

[BorHor]

I am running a +25. Depending on what you do it can clear. I mean.. I have no issued with running a fat tire on it too, but I am really low and running a decent amount of camber. If you are willing to stretch (which on a 19" is kinda hard) it can be done.

 

[Jimmysmk3]

well I'm on stock suspension. the thing is I have rims right now. 18x9.5 in the back with a 20mm offset with a 275 on the rim and they stick a 1/4 inch past the fender and the tire is getting peeled like a potato peeler is on it. from what i understand from reading this thread, a larger offset will tuck the wheel into the fender more. I fount a set of rims I would buy but they are 18x10 with a 45mm offset, so I just am not sure if that will rub the spring. am I correct on my understanding of offset and placement? a larger offset will tuck it in more? and would a 18x10 with a 45mm offset fit w/e hitting the spring?

 

[BorHor]

Something like that I can't tell you for sure. But if it does hit you can just run a spacer.

 

[Jimmysmk3]

that's true. good point. thanks

 

[Jimmysmk3]

ok, well then this last question goes out to anyone running a 10inch wide rim with a 35-45 mm offset. does your tire rub anywhere? inner or outter?

You also have to consider hight differences and differences in the alignment. Wheel fitment is basically a game.

 

[BorHor]

How low are you BorHor?

To keep it equal, measure from a flat road at the front edge and rear edge of the "side skirt" , up to the bottom edge of the black trim.

20". That is without my audio stuff in the rear.

Such a fun game. I've been playin it for years, results improving each time.

I'm at 19 F and 20 R. No audio.
On 18's
With huge width F and R

I could not go any farther without cutting the car severly

I have 17x9 in the rear, if i were to put 255/40/17's on there would i get ugly sidewall sag or no??

 

[BorHor]

probably not.

Test fitted my GS rims.

Volk Racing GT-C - Special edition RMC finish (black chrome)

19x9.5+24, high type, concave center
275/30/19

The fender has to be pulled about 1/2 inch and the tire may have to be 255/35, 265 max, so that it tucks in.

 

[Rennat]

How would 17x9 +27 all around look? would they sink in or stick out?

here are the two wheels im thinkin...


5zigen ZR+520 17x9 or 17x8 +27

[BorHor]

9 +27 should be pretty flush
