Please show your RIMS/OFFSET

I wanna get a set of Konig Rewind. The size is 14x7 -9 offset.

What does a -9 offset look like?

This is a pic of my friends SSR's 15's. Dont know the with or the offset.

What do you guys think it is? OR Please show me your offset.

14x7 -9mm will stick out of the front fenders about 1.5" and out of the rears about 1"... Perfect for flared fenders.

I got 15" x 8J in the rear, with an offset of -7

With this numbers the inside of the wheel is at the exact same place as stock (so my bearings have deal with the same force) so my wheels stick out 2.5 Inches, but that's cool with the 7 cm fenderflares....
Can't link to a picture yet...

Remember, the GSL-SE has a different offset than the standard 12A models.

I'm running 15x7 - 38mm offset (stock is 40mm) - acceptable range is 35mm-40mm, and there is no rubbing on the springs or on the fenders - if you go with any more positive offset (like those for FWD cars), you will need to 'roll' your fenders to prevent tire damage and fender damage. If they can it - they will.

You've got it backwards. The greater the NEGATIVE offset, the farther the rim of the wheel will stick out. The greater the POSITIVE offset, then the closer the rim of the wheel will be to the shock/struts/springs.

I've got 14x6" +17mm offset wheels in the front which equates to about the same as a 7" +28mm offset wheel.

With 195/60 Azenis RT215 tires and about 1* negative camber, I will barely rub the stock UNTOUCHED front fenders. If I roll them, I should have about another 2-3mm clearance.

I've got some 14x6.5" +10mm offset Hayashi mesh (about the same as 7" +15mm offset wheel) in the rears and with the same tires as above, they will hit the rear fender arches even if I rolled the fenders. They don't look like they stick out past the fenders though...

I'd like to have a nice shop pull my stock fenders out about an inch or so. That way, I can fit all sorts of nice AE86 and S13 wheels

Good point. I did roll my fenders a while back when I was still running stock springs. Now the springs I have have so stiff, I dont get much travel. I would not reccomend my suspension setup for street cars, it rides horrible. :P

does anyone have any "pro race 2" rims on their cars? There's a guy in town that can hook me up with a set of 15" or 16" they come in different colors i think they were gunmetal, silver, and bronze, they come with the 4x110 bolt pattern and its a 20 offset.

I'm thinking about doing it...

http://forums.club4ag.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=115310

Thanks for all the pics guys. Like Directfreak mentioned, I need GSL-SE 4x114.

I'd like to go with the Konig 14x7 -9 offset but like someone mentioned and Jamie told me that the bearing would wear out faster, so Im also looking at the techinical aspect as well as the "Look" I want.


Keep em comming.

that's true. when i had my epsilons on @ the rear, you can hear the whining real bad. but after getting rid of them, the whining from the wheel bearings also disappeared.

Hey camocarl; Where did you get those wheels? What are they called? I like how they stick in and the rims stick out.
