17x7+22 has a 5" barrel and 2" lip

Now im going to be relipping them with 3.5" lips so if my math is correct i would end up with these specs- 17x8.5 +3 and 17x9 +9
Feel free to call me an ass but thats what i got after using some equation i found on a stance forum. ever 1/2" of lip added would equal something like 6.35mm of offset?

http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3145 that would be where i found my information.

You are correct, every 1/2" added to the lips will result in a 6.35mm reduction in offset. Likewise, 1" added is 12.7mm less offset. Your calculations are correct.

Car: 1997
Fender Situation: Chargespeed +20mm fronts, will roll/pull in the rear

Anyone with experience running 18x10.5 +15 and 275/35-18 or 265/35-18 all around? This is for a grip setup and know most guys on here run much narrower tires but if you have input...

[souki]

hey I was wondering its been a while, I want to FIT 18x9.5+10s on the front
and 18x11+8 on the rears of my S14 zenki.

anybody got pictures of something with that amount of guard work ect?
ive never done anything so big before so I'm just wondering any info would be great. thanks

[Fernandoo14]

I'm selling them today and ordering 17x8.25 with 25 offset would that be better?

Hello, ive been in the car scene for a while now but my weakest point is to find the fitment for wheels. i've owned an evo and sti and i really liked enkei RS05RR but it was just out of my budget at the time.
NOW, im willing to save up and buy a wheel that i wanted and run it on my s13.

I've looked online and it seems like all the S13s with RS05rr has some type of body work done such as wide fenders etc.

Is there any way we can fit these wheels on s13 hatchback without doing crazy body work?

thanks in advance!

Yes, you can get by with some rolled/pulled fenders for S13, assuming you have the adjustable arms all around. I run TE37's 18x9.5 +12 front and 11 +18 rear with decent camber on stock body and have no issue rubbing, you just need to dial in an alignment though. I'm sure RS05RR come in similar sizes and offsets to the TE's.

Has anyone had luck stretching nankang ns-20 245/35 r19 on a step lip 19 inch cr2ps? Or stretching on any rim that is a step lip

I've tried 2 cheetahs at once, fire, pretty much everything... Any other suggestions?

To answer your question. No.

I hope you like replacing wheel bearings.

You got it wrong. Its not

"Must have spacers"

Its

"Must by legit wheels that actually fit"

Hunt down some 18x12 Works or something and run minimal spacer. I'd never run larger then a 20mm on extended studs. I know people run 30mm bolt ons but that probably isn't the best for your hubs either.

Not to mention everyone can totally tell your running spaced out rep wheels and it looks dumb. I hope you didn't cut up some clean quarters just to run some eBay wheels.




seriously that shit isn't safe nor practical.

For starters, "safe and practical" went out the window when I started modding this 240 lets get real.

But thanks bruh I already know what you mentioned. This is what im running and have been all summer and its been working just fine. No one said extended studs either. Hubcentric stacks. This whole car is rep, i do what i want. Ill keep all the haters posted

[LockOn!]

Just know anyone who knows anything is laughing at you.


Have fun with your eBay shitbox build.

Maybe you guys would like my fitment here instead?

[lunchmeat]

Mad? Nah, just laughing at the tragedy that is your posts.

[Juucso]

Better than stacked spacers.

Juucso and his build have credibility, something your 'build' lacks. You threw some fake ass fiberglass on your car along with some shit wheels and your cock size worth of spacers and start getting defensive when everyone starts shitting on you for it. For some reason youre proud of running rep parts and prioritizing neither form nor function. If anyones a douche, its you for being so instantly defensive about your poor decisions rather than sucking it up that you have a shit car and dealing with the (deserved) reactions its getting from everyone on this forum.

It's my personal shop in my backyard, not a business you nitwit.
And yes, it's stock...for now. Money goes to adult shit, like a mortgage, health insurance, and my kids.
