Would it work on 20mm Widebody Fender ??

I think I measured an 11" Wide wheel and 180mm Backspacing

THANKS..!!

i think it is still a positive offset maybe. it should be marked on the inside of the wheel some where in the hub of the wheel.

maybe +12 if i had to guess probly way off lol

cptpain 08-20-11 03:48 PM

positive more than likely.

the stock 16's had a +50 offset IIRC

DeeSan 08-20-11 03:56 PM

def positive... unless that wheel is 5-6in wide LOL

Clacor 08-20-11 04:37 PM

And what about a widebody, would it work ??

Clacor 08-21-11 08:49 AM

Guys please, I need to decide on Monday if Iīll keep them or not for my widebody project...

Thanks..!!

they are positive offset!

1QWIK7 08-21-11 11:14 AM

Def positive. A tire width size will help us better but looks like a +15 - +25 if I had to guess.

this
a negative offset on anything wider than like a 7 inch wheel looks crazy.
it will work with a widebody, but you'll need spacers for a flush fit if that's what you're going for. Probably thicker spacers than you'll want to run which also means you'll probably want extended wheel studs.

So what about this measure ??

280mm From Lip to Lip.
140mm Wheel Center
180mm from Back of the Hub to Back Lip of the wheel.

Isnīt it a NEGATIVE 40mm Offset ??

So these are not recommended for 20mm Wideboy fenders ??

Thanks...

Lol a -40 offset will have that wheel completely outside the fd body. Almost like you placed a wheel next to a wheel that's already bolted on the car.

Look on the spokes on the inner part (backside) of the wheel. Most companies stamp their offset there. Or the lip on the backside.

the way I describe a -40 offset is like bolting a regular wheel on backwards.

I see, I got to say am completely stupid regarding wheels.

Thereīs so few wheels available in my country that you never worry about Specs, if it looks Ok you take it.

I gotta say I personally donīt like the look of the wheel, and if I have to also spend on spacers and studs to make it look just fine... I wonīt go for it...

Any tip of a regular forum wheel vendor who can advice for widebody ??

Thanks..!!!

KKMpunkrock2011 08-21-11 11:17 PM

which widebody and how much extra room will it give you if you know?
if its a more common widebody then there will surely be someone on here that will know a good offset for ya to run.

for an 11" wide wheel, and 20mm wider fenders, my non-professional opinion would be that you need something with around a +13 offset to be flush.

here's an 18x10 +20 on stock metal:

the equivilant in an 11" wheel would be 18x11 +33

subtract 20 for the 20mm fenders, and you're looking at 18x11 +13. there are other factors that go into it like tire size, camber, and ride height.

offset on wheels just references how far away from the center to the wheel width. negative if the center hub is closer to the inside of the wheel, and positive if the hub is closer to the outside of the wheel. But the wheels we're looking at look like the have a positive offset like everyone has already stated.

i bet this will give me trouble when ever i decide to get some new rims.
