Hi.

I am looking for rims for my JC Cosmo, and have a question.

What will be the best looking offset if I get a 18-7,5'' wheel? I want the wheels to clear factory panels without mods, but not "sit under the car" either.

What are the other specs for the wheels? 114,3 mm-5 stud, but how big is the center hole?

Btw, why I don't go wider, is the wheel design I want do not sell 18'' any wider, and I don't want to go 19'' or 20''.

Thank you for your input.

 

It would help if you provided the stock wheel size and offset, as well as stock tire size. Not too many of us are familiar with the Cosmo....

 

Hi.

I know, but I tried a "quickie". I do not know either, and would have to measure. I guess David (DMRH) would know, and I'll send him a PM.

I'll post any results here, so the next guy doesn't have to start a new tread.

Thank you.

=)

 

Usually, the size and offset will actually be stamped or cast on/into the rim. Look carefully at the rim face -- FD wheels clearly have 16x8 +50 offset cast into them on the face of the wheel.

 

I took my cosmo to the Autobacs here and this is the wheel sized they came up with

Front
18 X 8J +30 ~ +38
18 X 8.5J +35
18 X 9J +38

Rear
18 X 9 +40 ~ +50
18 X 9.5 +38 ~ +42
18 X 10 +38 ~ +40

 

I just got new wheels for my Cosmo and here are the sizes

the old wheels Works Wheels
Front 18 X 8.5 +36
Rear 18 X 9.5 +45

the new wheels: Manaray Sports VR5 Quest
Front 18 X 8.5 +35 235/40 18
Rear 18 X 9.5 +35 265/35 18
