Are you all running coil-over springs in the front to fit these wheels???

tallbozo 09-23-08 06:10 PM

To answer the konig fitment question....they should fit! I have an S and a GS and they fit both with stock springs and Racing Beat

proof!

I have them on my 82 GSL with totally stock (and original) suspension, and they fit fine all the way around.

Im assuming it would be the same but in Australia the 1st gen cars with 4/110 stud pattern have the low offset +20
and cars with the 4/114.3 stud have the high +35
we call 1st gens S1, S2, S3, rather than sa fb etc
S1 plastic cap steel bumpers, drum rears and 4x110 stud
S2 wrap-around plastic bumpers, rear discs, power windows 4x110 stud
S3 bigger brakes F&R & brake vent slits in front air dam under bumper, thicker/longer axles, 4x114.3 stud

my car is 4x110eg low offset
I have 15x7 (+10) fronts 195/50/15
and 15x8 (+5ish) rears 205/50/15....ill confirm when i get access to my wheels
perfect fitment, low as, no scrape, couldnt get closer to gaurds without scrape


get the highest offset wheel u can at the required width
slowly add washers to stack the wheel out to where u want it
measure the amount of washers and take this from offset
eg 15x7(+40) +20mm of washers stacked on hub
makes it a 15x7 (+20)

hey Red95T-rex:
check the stamping on the back of your wheel
something very fishy here.....
if u put low offset wheels on a car that needs high offset they will stick out the gaurds......
If u put high offset wheels on a low offset car they sit way under the car and foul on the suspension
since you dont have wheels sticking out the side of your car,
that means the supplied wheels are too high offset......
but +20 isnt high its low, so somethings wrong
maybe they supplied wrong offset by mistake???
wrong wheels in boxes????who knows???

+40 wheels definately fit with approx 1in spacer(20-25mm)
mate bought a set of 17x7(+40) wheels off ebay from a 4/114.3 Rx7
when they arrived they didnt fit...he wasnt aware of the stud pattern offset issue we added 25mm hub adapters which runs the wheels at +15 and they corrected the stud pattern to 4x110 problem solved!!!!
now im tired of typin hahahaha

Very well explained yellow. I have 17"x7"s +40 offset with adaptors. I found I had to go back to 20mm adaptors at the front (partly because of brake conversion) and even with rolled guards and Noltec strut tops at max camber I still get the occasional scrub (very light)

15x7 +0 offset 4x114.3 with Falken Azenis RT215 205/50/15

Stock fenders, going to roll/pull it a little bit. The ground is a bit uneven, so it looks high on the left side.

paganizondadude 12-11-08 11:34 PM

I have NO clue what the offset is. They are Cragar 14" wheels. They are like 7" wide.


They look sexy though!

I'm looking for a wheel like the Rota or Konig gunmetal in 4x110 15x8 0 offset. I plan on using a fender flare. Does this exist or do I need spacers?

where can i get one of those bumper lips!!!

Oh yea, im a bit clueless when it comes to wheels and offsets. If the wheel is say -16 offset, would that be sticking out too much and leaving the car undriveable? anywhere i can read more on offsets and pros/cons of having wide wheels

So im looking for this kind of poke, or more, on my '85 GS, and i want to run 15x9 or 10 in the rear, and 15x8 in front.

i will look up the offset next time i pull the wheels. I want them to stick out a little more. I will be converting to gsl-se suspension soon and will get custom adapters to keep the wheels and make them stick out a little more to get the look I want hopefully
