Aggressive offset and spacer calculation help needed
When I bought my Enkei RPF1 wheels I had no access to a fender rolling machine, neither did I know anyone who could do the job without messing up my fenders so I played safe and bought wheels which had the max possible width and offset without needing a fender roll.
Fronts: 18x9.5 +38 Rears: 18x10 +38 Now, I have access to a fender roller and I am planning to have a more aggressive looking setup. Looking at others' pics in the forum something like F: 18x10 +38 and R: 18x10 +18 would look good so I am planning to convert my setup to something similar by using spacers but I just need the experts to doublecheck my calculations. According to my calculations to bring out 18x9.5 +38 like 18x10 +38, I'd need 5mm spacers at the front and to bring 18x10 +38 out like 18x10 +18, I'd need 20mm spacers at the back, is this correct? As for tyre choice I'll go with 255/35/18 (diameter: 25.02) at the back but not sure about the fronts for flush fitment. My options are: 225/40/18 (25.08, perfect match diameter but too much stretch) 235/40/18 (25.40) 245/35/18 (24.75) When tyres stretch, do their overall diameter decrease? If yes, then 235/40 seems to be the perfect match. My final question is where can I get some ARP studs and quality lightweight (magnesium, titanium etc.) spacers suitable for rx7 centre bore? Do I need longer studs for 5mm spacers at the front? Thanks in advance, |
I guess I'm alone in this, so I ordered some 2nd hand tyres in following sizes:
235/40/18 245/35/18 255/35/18 285/30/18 Best method will be test fitting to see clearances and stance before ordering a brand new set. |
