offset question for s13

[95zilvia]

5 lug s13
lowered on megan racing

front: 17x8 +28 offset with 215 25 17
rear: 17x9 +27 offset with 225 45 17

pretty low, will these be clearing coilovers, z brakes and most importantly, be flush



pretty sure spoke design will allow z brake clearance, not so sure about my coilovers because megan racing has a lot of problems.

i want this fitment for my front, thanks nokeone for the pic :P


but in a 17x8
the pic is using a uhm, 17x9 +15
what's the equivalent for a 17x8?

[lilredstiffy]

Something like a +3.

Those tire sizes are terrible. try 225/45 front and 245/40 rear

The tire sizes are too small fot that wide a rim. 215/ 25 !? in front? I dont think they make a 25 sidewall tire. The 225 and 245 rear sounds a lot better. You should have no problems with Z-brakes... that is mostly dependent on spoke design. With that fitment you might need to roll the fenders.

The front wheel in that pic looks to be past the fender a little. I'd say that is a +20 or so in front.

Actually in the pic it is a

17x9 +15

To get that flushness out of and 8 you need -10 at least.

I think he meant 215/45 not 215/25.

I am running a 215/45 on a 9 inch wheel, its fine.

It would actually be an offset lower by half an inch instead of a whole inch for the same flushness!

So whats the point of a nine inch rim if you are going to run tires made to fit a 7 and a half inch rim properly?

[95zilvia]

yeah i meant 215 45 17

i just want big rims, and i have those tires laying around from when my rims were 4 lug.
ok anyways, i decided to just order my rear rims. the setup is like this.

17x9 +27 with 235 40 17 falken st115, im going to try to fit this in the front, and depending on how it fits, i might just use these for the front and get something else for the back, if it's too crazy, then i'll just slip these into the back.

i really hope they fit good in the front, cuz i might run some fno1rc by 10s in the rear.

[95zilvia]

think the 17x9 +27 with 235/40s will clear my megan racing?

[slide]

no you would need like +15 offset if you are going with 9 inch width to clear the megan racing coilovers.

[revat619]

why not just run those wheels in 17x9 +17 all around?

[95zilvia]

i wanted the staggered look, so the not so sunk rims in the front, make the realy sunk ones in the rear look really good.

[kuruptR]

17x8 zero offset for the front.
and
17x9 15+ for rear

[mr_240sx]

hey guys, for the rear, i wanted 18x9.5 and for the rim that i want, apparently it only comes in 9 or 10. so i want the 18x10. i knew my offset for the 18x9.5 which was +30. what would the equivalent be for 18x10?

[95zilvia]

so u take 24 / 2 = 12, then / 2 = 6mm, so u had 6mm to 30, so that's 36

so... 18x9.5 +30 = 18x10 +36
