tork wheels, best offset out of these available?
just became an FD owner and want to plan my first round of mods.
gonna get some tokico illumina shocks and h&r springs, then id like to throw some new shoes on. i really like the look of these wheels, and would like to go with 18" to keep rubbing to a minimum if possible, but i also want to have the widest rear tire i can get for the rim. out of these available choices, whats the best offset and tire size, considering the springs/shocks ill be getting? http://www.torkwheels.com/wheels.html (scroll down to the "imagine") wheelstudio.com suggests F: 245/40Z18 18x8 R: 275/35Z18 18x9 http://www.torkwheels.com/wheels/ima..._imagine_1.jpg http://www.torkwheels.com/wheels/ima..._imagine_3.jpg http://www.torkwheels.com/wheels/ima..._imagine_4.jpg |
or feel free to suggest any other similar style rims
looking for 5 spoke with a deep chrom lip and black/hyperblack spokes |
For starters, rim diameter hardly affects rubbing issues if the proper sidewall for a tire is selected so that it is as close to the stock wheel/tire rolling diameter as possible. Rubbing would be affected more by rim and tire width as well as the offset chosen. Besides, 18s will be lighter than 19s anyway and performance is what you want, right?

the car i bought already has aftermarket wheels/tire, so im not sure if they are the proper overall original height or not, i just want to make sure that 275 35 18 is ok for the rear. also, what about the offset? it looks like they only have 40mm rears available, although the exact same one is listed twice, one might be a typo, guess ill have to call on monday. |
18x9 +40 offset or lower
Then maybe a 1/4 or 5mm spacer on the wheels should be a conservative look though i dont know FD offsets, lower the offset, the more aggressive the car will look. =p |
Keep in mind that the FD bore is 67.1. So at least you won't need to widen the bore. While you probably could find some hub-centric rings but I would just find a more proper fitting wheel IMO.
