4x114.3mm bolt pattern, 40mm offset

 

40mm offset? is that cool for a SE?

 

I believe thats what they have stock...Or is it 38? Damn, I dont remember...

40 is stock, 38 is what my Enkeis have (and still fits)

 

i have 38 offset i think. Or did i just dream it? i dont know.

I dont even know what brand mine are for crying out loud.

 

iotus brand, I thought...

 

No i dont make my own rims :-p

 

Mantis is the GSL the same offset as the SE ?

 

Nope, GSL has a 4x110mm bolt pattern.

than what is the offset of the 12a cars? I know the bolt pattern already.

 

Offset is the same for all wheels (stock). according to what the 84 manual says.

Stock on the 1st gen:
width: 5J or 5.5J
Offset: 45mm (1.772in)
Tires sizes: 165 hr 13 (steel)
185/70 13 (steel)

185/70 13 (alum.)
205/60 14 (alum.)

Hope this helps... But don't forget a wider tire is going to need a different offset.

 

except they cite 45mm as offset for 'all' the cars, whereas SEs are 40mm

 

d'oh I read your post to quickly. I should just listed all the wheel info. That way I could have answered your question correctly.

Sorry.

Manntis: I know ours (Se's) are 40mm but I couldn't find it in the manual. Do you know what page it's on?

 

I just know that's what fits the car, based on the stock wheels having 40mm off set and my Enkeis running 38mm.

Pamela is in storage right now with the manual in a compartment behind the passenger seat so I can't easily look up the page #.

 

I thought the 12a cars had a much lower offset than the -SE's like 25mm or so.... Am I totally wrong?

 

I thought it was like a 0 offset, but what do I know...

the 4x110's are +20mm offset..... thast what i was told by wheel shops.......

 

I love the whole storage concept.......it is 72deg. F right now and sunny

Just kidding though, I used to live in Illinois and had snow tires and had to deal with all that crap!!

 

speaking of rims & storage, I didn't want to peel off the Pirellis and put snow tires on (low profiles don't like being removed & installed unneccessarily) nor did I want to use stock SE wheels for snow tires - mainly because having her on the road is just asking for some pickup to slide on ice and crunch my car.

Yesterday an elderly man was killed in front of the mall I have my retail store in when a pickup slid and went through the crosswalk...

 

No prob
