Help Deciding Wheel Offsets

[RynoF6]

Was all go for the work 02c wheels then the supplier after checking with the factory tells me the wheel got discontinued last week.

Now going for the BBS CH black wheels in 8.5/9.5 +35, Redrilled pcd. Cant wait as the dark argents and tires are smashed up that bad my car is undrivable.

Fitted up my FR19's to my FG

Fronts are 19x9 and rears 19x10' respectively. Rear tyres are 275/30 ..and with SSSL kings have no clearance issues. Sit flush with the guard.

Now its the offsets Im not sure of. But Ill measure them up if any ones interested.

I was previously running the FR,s at 8.5 and 9.5.. and thanks to a certain wheel whore with a black XR8 on this forum ...I was left wondering.. what if ?!?!? So I did and am extremely pleased with the results..

Maybe Tochi can figure out the offsets ???

Best way is to measure your backspace, should give you an idea of where the wheel will sit. From the backspace you will get the offset.

So your 8.5 -9" rim will give you 6" backspace, which gives you the +32 and 25 offsets.

Measure out 6" from your hub and see where that is., then determine the outer lip on the nuts to rim edge, ie you may be 7" out

Can anyone point me in the right direction in regards to offsets for front and rears for 18" rims.....so a stocker 17" x 8" has a 36.5 offset how much grace do we have in relation to front struts etc???

The way I'm looking at it is with an 8.5" width rim with the same offset (36.5) your going to end up with another 6mm or so closer to the strut is this correct??

I'm thinking 18x8.5 +35 and 18x9.5 +40 but if I'm way off the mark let me know...

Any input aprreciated....

Would be good to have a thread with no comments just images along with wheel make, size, offset tyre size and if lowered to what height. Just to have a visual log of how the different setups would look. Find it hard to get my head around it all sometimes!

just saw this.. glad you like it :D

looking at 19x9 +30

and 19x10 +30

I have 19x8.5+20 on the front and sits just in line with the guard, would love 19x9+25 and some added camber haha

work emotion XT7's 18x9.5 +30 ... 265/35/R18 tyres

front is 18x8.5 +25, but I fitted a rear on the front to see how it looked, and it looked good.

my street rims are 19x10 +10 and 19x10.5 +23

Tocchi can you please tell me more about your street rims? Or post up any photos you have. I'm looking at a set of wheels which I know I can get in offset/size which will fit with no dramas (19x8.5 +34 and either 19x9.5 +34 or +22). However I'm after something a bit more aggressive (flush look with a bit of stretch). Just wonder if you had any clearance issues with these wheels? I know FG sedan quarters are now bonded together around the wheel arch as opposed to a pinch weld with spot welds so im also unsure as to pumping the guards without causing damage. Im looking at 19x9.5 in the front in either +12 or +22 and rear 19x10.5 +22. Any help or photos that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

I think my build thread has the images, but I think here has the most up to date photos

depends you interpretation of clearance issues, as in my books "rubbing's racing" haha.

I've got a lot of suspension work done to match my fitment. I have my front guards rolled, and that's it, rears arent.

it doesnt catch the guards etc. quite streetable.. lol

Tocchi read your post on AFF about the neutral limiter/2step. Does rob know the wiring changes that need to be made to get it to work correctly?
