hey guys, i know it should be in the other section but this is quite urgent and needs to be seen. What is the max width of a wheel i can fit under 30mm front guards and 50mm rear guards. Will 12" Rear Wheels with an offset of -20 fit under the back and 10" fit under the front

Need help urgently

thanks, Todd

 

No on the rear.
If the offset on the 10" up front is about "0", it should fit.

thanks heaps, what size rim will fit on the on the rear at the max, and the max at the front

cheers, todd

 

wiiiiiiide

 

That 12" -20 will clear everything inside, but I highly doubt 50mm of overfender is going to cover all of it.
Unless you're running major hipari, that 12" can easily fit a 335 wide tire!
I would go at least 1/2" if not a full 1" more on the overfender to cover those wheels in back.

Holy pipe dream batman........

 

with the right offset you could fit a 295 or maybe even a 305 under a 50mm wider rear fender but its cutting it really close.

I have 30mm wider rear fenders and I can fit a 285 where it almost touches the trailing arm but clears the untrimmed fender lip by 1/4"

I wouldnt use anything wider than a 11" wheel. youre limited by how far inboard you can run the wheel so you would have to run a relatively skinny 285 on that 12" wheel and it would be totally hipari... just waiting for some serious curbage.

 

Front 10Jx18 inch 114.3 to offset-3 PCD5 hole
Rear 11.5Jx18 inch Offset -10
Front Firestone F-690 225 / 40R18 　　　　　　　
Rear BRIDGESTONE GRID. 255 / 35R18


how does this size sound with the same size guards? with some camber to fit them under?

 

Wheels will clear everything inside.

11.5" rear can do down to a +5 offset; you're still got at least 15mm of clearance inside.

What I don't like is the big hipari you're trying to run with those rim widths.

225 on a 10" and 255 on a 11.5" is just unsafe...

they are the tyres included in the auction, will the rim, thats all im worried about, fit in line with the edge of these guards or under them? because its illegal in my country to have the wheels sticking out the guards.

 

They will not fit under stock fenders.
Fronts need like 30mm of overfender.
Rears need like 30mm of overfender.
30mm front and back should cover those wheels.

I'd still worry about the tires.
You just graze anything with those wheels, and it'll chew the crap out of the lip.


-Ted

 

yeah, ive got 30mm front guards and 50mm guards as stated at the top. so its all good then, and i dont plan on keeping the tyres that come with the wheels, they are very worn anyway, maybe some 245's for the front and 275's rear

 

Good deal!
Good luck!

here ya go.... take the specs from your current wheels, compare with the new wheels/tires and the go measure...

 

wowsah, 11.5 wide is WIDE

 

hipari = stretched tires? or... ?

 

Yeah, hipari in Japanese literally means "stretch" or "stretched".

It's the dorifuto trend of running too-skinny tires on too-wide rims.
