October 21, 200916 yr comment_384113 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, 200916 yr by crispyke35 Report
October 21, 200916 yr comment_384118 my rims that are 6.5 wide +34 wont clear the front strut unless i run a 7mm spacer. this is on a ke55 Report
October 21, 200916 yr Author comment_384122 my rims that are 6.5 wide +34 wont clear the front strut unless i run a 7mm spacer. this is on a ke55 Thanks for the info, i don't really want to run spacers if i can avoid seems like i have to go something with a whole smaller offset Report
October 21, 200916 yr comment_384182 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. Report

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... Report
October 22, 200916 yr comment_384465 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... yea, as i said 14x7 with about +/- 0 offset really fills the guards. 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. Report
October 23, 200916 yr comment_384659 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... that would look shithouse mate, will need a lot of work on rear guards. and fronts will be just inside guards (pending offset) You ideally want to run around the same track front and rear Report
October 26, 200916 yr comment_385671 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? Report
