Who <3'S Offset?

[lowfutura]

Offset rocks... :o

Hahahahahaha!

They look more like Work XT7s not Volk TE37s as well.

nah they are TE37s

just hard to tell on the angle.

please excuse the rollerskate look of it ... haha... track rims arent meant to be "good" looking. haha

How much neg are you running on the rears ? Must feel like 4wsteer

ill try to find the WA Suspensions "wheel alignment" spec sheet

[winstor]

Dude, they look awesome.

Tocchi, that looks farking sick. Must feel very different compared to the stockies.

[Tocchi]

thanks guys

erko, kinda, usually run continental contisports on the front of the daily rims, and sumitomos HTR z3's on rear ... so they are pretty grippy

Jeez, I feel so dumb trying to work out offsets for these cars, what will fit, what won't, etc. I followed the link Erko provided to an offset calculator (in another - pinned - thread) and can see how different the clearances will be when compared to stock, but my problem is knowing whether that difference in clearance will actually pose a problem or not!

So, first, can anyone tell me whether an 8.5" front rim with +38 offset and 9.5" rear with +45 offset will fit a BA Mk1 sedan okay? And then, if you're feeling adventurous, could you explain to me how I can work out what rim width/offset combination will be okay to fit to the same vehicle please?!

tocchi, that looks farkin sweet. Best lookin FG I've seen! Congrats, looks classy, with a real race feel to it. Probably the closest thing to a v8 supercar I've seen without a kit/5 spokes itc. LOVE it!

18x8.5 +35 will fit fine on the front, any higher offset and you will most likely start rubbing on the upper suspension arm. Rears, not sure, was running 18x9.5 +35 no problems, could probably run a higher offset safely. Anything lower than a +32 on the fronts with a 8.5 and you will prob have to roll ya guards.

put your wheels under the car where they belong, this is where your wheels should be like 5IYBA

Awesome thread. Good to see some Aussie cars with some offset! I like the R34 GTR rims Tocci.

I have some Advan RS 18x9's with +22 offset on my R32 skyline. I'm going to chuck them on my new FG ute and I'll post up some pics. Not sure if they'll be practical though.

Well I put the Advan RS's on and don't think they'll work. Front have a tad too much offset, rear nowhere near enough. I think it will be very hard to find some wheel's and offset that will look good. Has anybody have pics of an FG ute with good guard filling wheels?

I think I will need to get something staggered around 19x8.5's +30 for the front and 19x9.5's +10. Anyone know of wheels with these offsets? If not maybe get a matched set and some 30mm spacers for the rear. Any thoughts on increasing rear track by 30mm either side?
