B.L.Z.BUB Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) Ok just trying to figure out my offset as I am buying new wheels and want to use my old ones as a reference. Few pics of the inner wheel stamps. Also I laid the wheel flat and measured the width, then the distance from the hub to the face. I'm guessing +5 or +10? Any ideas? Am I measuring the wheel right, I found a few things on google about it but some contradict others. Cheers Fullahs! :y: EDIT : Found this page https://www.rsracing...tech-wheel.html So I'm guessing i have a 110mm back space = approx 4.25inches on a 7"rim +6???

B.L.Z.BUB Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) Sweet. The guy at the store was trying to sell me 15 x 7 +20s. But I figure I'm running +5 or +6 (ish?) 15x7 give or take a mm or two with an 8mm spacer, so with spacer pretty close to zero (slight negative ish) o/s. So I'm thinking.... I order +5, lose the spacers so its all legal beagle, eliminate the minor rubbing in the rear guards by giving me essentially the spacer width (8mm) extra clearance. Also order an adjustable panhard rod and centre the diff up with some nolthalane bushes. I figure it'll still look pumped into the guards, keep the rear guards looking stock. Only lose about the spacer width of offset. :y: EDIT: But ill gain a LOT of dish.... :yes: Edited March 29, 2011 by blzbub666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 go 8's on the rear? In a about a +15 will give the same gaurd fill with a bit more thickness under the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19914afc Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 just go 8" 0 offset all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW42 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 why go a zero offset???? The idea here is to not have stupid amounts of tire/rim sticking out the guards just to have it sit nicely under them.... Going by what reed is saying am i right??

B.L.Z.BUB Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) Inside joke Justin. I think 8's are an overkill. I'm not putting out heaps horsepowers and can't afford tyres to fit them. And don't say streeeeetch, if tyres were meant to be stretched they'd fit them that way.

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 but come on mate, would look fully sic with some 145s on 'em, maximum respekt. yep, fair call, tyres are more expensive and harder to get hold of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19914afc Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hey, I wasn't kidding I have 15x8 0 with 195/50's and they sit fine, only front guards needed to be rolled, should be the same as a ke70. If you want to come over one day and check fitment I'm home during the day, or one weekend, I could come over as ive currently got the wheels off my car.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 How about no stretch and tyres on properly that fit on a wheel that doesnt stick out too much? :hmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
