Okay,
I did search, but I can't seem to find what the appropriate hub centric ring is for the Enkei old school mesh 15" wheel (4 x 110 bolt pattern) onto a 12a standard hub (1982 GS with stock parts). I measure about 60.325mm inner diameter and 71.44mm outer - but really like to know what really works!

Thanks

 

Originally they didn't come with hubcentric rings. Several years ago I had some made by a friend. I'll make some measurements.

 

Thanks much - just seems funny hanging off the lugs

 

For sure makes them a pain to mount when you still use the stock lug bolts.

I measured 2.340" ID and 2.865" OD on average. Mine might be a little too tight on the ID as a couple of them seem to stick to the hubs.

 

Thanks much! Got them ordered.

 

Well, I got the car all painted (twice, don't ask, I am not happy), not fully buffed yet but ready for wheels. I put these Enkeis on and am concerned at the overhang. Is this acceptable and the way most people run them? I think they may hit the steel if I hit a good sized bump. (These are 205/15's)

Thanks,
Scott

 

HOORAY FOR YOU! That means it's time for fender flares! Hehe, it doesn't look too bad. I can't say for certain that she won't hit, but I have seen a first gen or two with worse, and I haven't heard about them hitting.

 

I really don't want to roll, am thinking 195 width may help but the offset just seems improper.

i have the same rims an have no issues with rubbing

 

Same size tire? 205 50 15? I think these may have come in diff wheel widths - do yours stick out as far per my picture?

THanks

 

opps i just realised i have +25 off set but i do have the same tire size....have u noticed if it sicks out the same on both sides at the rear? it might just stick out more of one like because for some reason alot of 7's rearend is offset a little bit.

 

The only time mine ever rubbed was when I had 225/50-15's on the rear. They don't rub on my blk/wht RX-7 and they don't rub on my multicolor RX-7. Both are lowered. Both have the lips roll under though.

 

Mine say offset is 7 (mm?) and they do stick out the same on the rear.

 

Okay,
The front is just not good - there is a at least a 1" overhang of the tire vs the fender. I need to find some other wheels...


This looks bad
