Wheel offset (pictures)
Hello.
im puting on a wide body kit on my car. its 20mm wide on each side in the front and 50 mm wide on each side on the rear. http://www.turbo-kid.com/images/rx7/...ders%20(3).JPG http://www.turbo-kid.com/images/rx7/...ders%20(1).JPG more pictures on www.turbo-kid.com my wheels in the front 8x18 and in the rear 9x18 (275mm toyo tires. i have the tires, but can i go wider than 9 inches?) i have plans for deepest lip as posible.. best regards Joachim norway |
I have 18x 9's in the rear w/o fender flares. Is that a Texas License plate on your wall?

Gawd, with +20 F and +50 rears, you can easily go 10.0" front and 12.0" rears.
And that's a conservative fitment! -Ted |

run a 11" or 12" wide wheel out back, just stretch that 275 over it!
those rear flares are HELLA HUGE! gawd damn! if they are really a true 50mm flare then you can run a 18x11 with something like a zero offset. |
You'll want to put that 275 on a 10-11" wheel. No bigger, no smaller if you can help it.
You should be able to run a 10" on a +0 wheel, and an 11" on a +15 or so. |

Does that mean it's illegal? Or the ultra wide wheels will get damaged from bad road surfaces? Off-topic...I had a co-worked named Joachim, but he was from Micronesia. Are you a native of Norway? -Ted |
Running 8" wide wheels up front with a 1" widebody? :scratch:

damn thats a wideass rearend, nice!

Spirit Rx-7 Thank you, i hope it wil look nice. See you have to go out working. Joachim |
if youre gonna shell out the cash for Volks then it wont be much more $$$ to go 11.5 instead of 10" wide. or at least find a 10.5 wide wheel, thats common size as it fits a 315 perfectly.
and for a drift or show car the 275 would be better off on a 11.5" wide wheel anyways. you can run 275 all around, with a 10" front wheel and a 11.5" out back, that would be AWESOME. I run a 275 up front on my widebody FC and its on a 17x10 wheel, nice fit on the rim. damn that road is HARSH!!!!good luck on your project! |

What kit is taht?
|
the chargespeed kit looks amazing.
you really need to go wider on the wheels. like 9-9.5 on the front and 9.5-10.5 on the rear, at least. i would say wider if it wasnt for drift. it wont look good with skinny wheels and yea if you have to its no problem to stretch a narrower tire on. you can get as low as a 225 on a 9.5 inch wheel which is about the same as you would put on an 8 inch wheel, but you can still have the option of way wider tires for the track or whatever. what wing do you have, rotary extreme? |

Bought it used from a toyota supra:) all i had to do was to buy new base stands.. These wings are in VERY good quality, same with the charge speed kit! but i think about 10 inches wide in the front and 11 in the rear. then it wont look to skinny... maybe i buy anothter set of wheels for the rear only for drifting.. the same wheels only smaller.. someone who knows what ofsett i can go for in the front? in the rear you guys are talking about from 0 to +15 with 11 inches wide. how can i realy measure? do i have to go from the brake disk(were the wheel sits) and measure out to the fender? Joachim |
I would DEFINITELY say run a 18x10 in front and 18x11 in rear. Run the 275 on the 18x11, it will be a nice fit.
I know FD fitment is higher offset than FC, but with that big of widebody, you should have no problems fitting 10 and 11 with about +0 offset on both. |
one more thing, can someone tell me what kind of coilover setup this is?
i have never seen black tein`s before.. Upper plate i cusco: http://www.turbo-kid.com/images/part...vers%20(1).JPG spring is swift: http://www.turbo-kid.com/images/part...vers%20(3).JPG and shock is tein: http://www.turbo-kid.com/images/part...vers%20(2).JPG http://www.turbo-kid.com/images/rx7/...corf%20(2).JPG i swaped them with the JDM car im selling, so now the JDM car got tokico suspension.. Joachim |
Those are Tein coilovers with Swift springs and Cusco upper mounts. Very similar to what I have on my FC. Swift springs RULE. they are so fucking awesome. HUGELY better than any other springs I've ever used.
