Wheel Fitment Thread

DON'T waste your money on a camper kit

Probably a camber kit but not at first.

I prefer a car sitting on natural camber.

completely the opposite.... the less the offset the more "flush/poke" the rim is to the fender, but then again u have to take in account the width of the wheel

ex. if the wheel is 8" wide a good offset for our cars would be something around +23...that would be pretty flush

Ok thanks man I think I'm kinda picking it up so say I'm gettin a rim set up with 18x8 and the offset is +40 so say I want them to sit flush with the fender I would take around a 15mm spacer and that would in theory make my setup look like a +25 setup? And make my rims sit about flush to the fender?

Yes, you are correct. Fit the wheels on first then decide what size spacer you require to make it sit flush. Gotta also consider what tyre size you want to use..

Offsets for both sets? How low are you? You need to be more specific. Either way, you'll still need to roll your fenders, assuming you haven't.



You might, you might not. Just get them rolled anyway.

well some one over at v6performance is running 18x9s at +37 each with a 10 mm spacer in the rear sitting totaly flush and only rear fenders rolled i know rears will need to be rolled no mater what but as for how low im going i plan on maxxing out my tien basics or just about maxing them out so 3-4 inches of ground clearance?

I think if you max put the basis they'll be lower than that...

Honestly, you can't compare someone else's setup to yours unless you have the same ride height, camber specs, and body work done (not rolled or pulled, just rolled, rolled & pulled, etc.). Two different cars can have a particular wheel setup, and one will be flush and the other might not be because of the other variables involved.

The moral of the story is that people saying such & such size/width/offset will be "perfectly flush" (which has been said numerous times just in the last week) is complete bull****. Wheel setups are made flush through the car owner's efforts...as long as the setup falls within a given range that allows for a certain amount of adjustment through those previously listed variables.

If you really want to know what setup works for your liking, do the measurements yourself on your own car instead of relying on others that may not apply to you. All it takes is a ruler & an offset calculator, it's not rocket science. Besides, one person's opinion of a flush setup can be totally different than another's.

Does anyone happen to know the offset of stock se wheels? Having trouble finding the answer to that.

lol Kevin, I just look at this thread sometimes & shake my head. Usually I let them all give each other "advice" without intervening, but maybe this time some innocent noob will take what I say to heart & learn from it.
