crispyke35 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) Hi Simple question that i can't for the life of me figure out. will this offset be any good for a KE35 114.3 15 x 6.5 +35. Thanks #Edit I think i may have answered this question myself the answer being that will look crap as they are FWD offset :) I think i need something less then +20 ? :D Edited October 21, 2009 by crispyke35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke30 driver Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 my rims that are 6.5 wide +34 wont clear the front strut unless i run a 7mm spacer. this is on a ke55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLO-030 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 On my ke30 i ran some 15x5.5 +40 SAAB steelies, could have come another 2inches outwards to fill the guards. for a 6.5 id say something with about +15 offset would fill the rears nicely. I ran them on the front and seemed to fill out the front guards rather well with a 9mm spacer reducing the offset to +31. with a 185/60/15 tyre the sidewall cleared the strut by about 5-7mm. Now on the rear I'm going to be fitting some 14x7's with around 0 offset and with a 215/60/14 tyre and the sidewall protrudes the guard by about 2-5mm Hope this helps you out a bit Crispy.

Man I was planning on running 15 x 8 ~ +/- 0 offset on the rear of my 30, with 15 x 6.5's on the front... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axentrik Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 0 offset or negative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 8's would be close to being all stock arches can handle. i could be wrong, but with the 215's it looks like a good fit while allowing clearance on the inside of the inner guards.

RedKE30 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Maybe I should go 15 x 7's all round then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzo Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Yeah 15x7s would be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axentrik Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 13 x 8's would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeetsy1 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 My enkei cross fevers are 14x8 + 8 and they hang out the guards on the front. So you guys are say that 0 offset is the key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
