Wheel Offset Question...

[acura_ek1]

I am planing to buy a new wheels for my Euro and looking for a super flush offset.....is 35 offset too low for an 18x8.5" wide wheel for the CL9???

The car is lowered about 1.5"

Thanks.

[felixd]

that off set will poke out at the front and rear :D

[tony1234]

That offset is too low.Need at least 42+

[defibros]

what about tyres with offset 18 x 8.5 +45 front and 18 x9.5 +45 rear?


what tyres is good for these set of rims?

[doosra]

9.5 will be too wide. Im riding on 20 x 8.5 and its lowered and had to roll the guards...still abit of scrubbing though

Also the guy at ozzytyres said 9.5 wont fit on a euro as its too wide otherwise i woulda went deep dish at the rear

[drmonk3y]

How about 17x7.5 +45 (F) and 17x8 +38 (R) ?

[Crapdaz]

lowest i'd say is +40.

else +38 try test fit a mates evo/s15/gtr etc cause there stock wheels are +38.

[felixd]

+38 will poke out too :) just for ur reference

[acura_ek1]

what would be ideal offset for a 9" wide wheel? would +45 be pushing it?

[akina]

I had 18x8.5 +40, perfect fitment!

Must be lowered + a little camber (-1.5 to -2)

If you want +35, just be prepared to pay for tyres cause of the negative camber to make it fit!

I've found it hard to get specifics on wheels fitment so I'll ask the question here.

Is it possible to fit a 9 inch wide wheel to the rear of an CL9 without aggressive camber ?

And does it require rolling the wheel arch ?

[euro_tr4sh]

would 18 x 9.5 +33 be pushing it on the rear? found a very nice/very cheap set of work vs kf but im guessing its right out of the question :(

It really depends how much you lower the car. If its only a little bit then it should fit. Also depending on the size of your rim.

But overall, 9 inch is really on the line.

Thats pushing it :p

Unless you have stock height then that shouldn't be a problem haha

[felixd]

with +33 18 X 9.5 offset i wouldnt suggest you to slam it to the max but u can still use em :D just slight drop it would be fine with stretch tires and camber FTW !!!!

Anything can fit, as long as your willing to run massive negative camber and pump your guards, with stretched tyres!!

That would look hawt!

[euro_tr4sh]

very willing to run masive negative camber :) installed adjustable rear upper control arms a while ago in anticipation :P the fronts are 18 x 8.5 +33... looks like a might need a front camber kit eh?

If you need one pm me, I got a brand new front camber kit for sale, Ill also throw in free shipping plus I want to see more guys here with negative cambers!!!! :thumbsup:

What about 18 x 8 or 18 x 8.5 with +50 offset, will these sit too far in on the Euro?

[akina]

Yea, it will look shit. It makes it worst as well cause your car is dumped. Go with +40 with -1.5 to -2 camber :thumbsup:

[Crapdaz]

If you've seen my CE28N in my appearance gallery thread that's how far they sit in but i am running 7.5.

[defibros]

anyone think this is ok?

18*8 front with +40

18*9 rear with +35

thinking of dropping it low with buddy club..
will it fit?

[doosra]

don't think that will fit.. when i got my 20's.. i wanted to see if i could get 20 x 9 at the rear so i could get deep dished rears and he said i couldn't with the euro..

plus if you're gonna lower your car.. it'll be scrubbing heaps.. with 20 x 8.. i had to roll the guards and shave some of the rear bumper off..

With the right amount of camber and rolled guards... yea it probably will fit.

Just more concerned about your rear. I'd say get the right size to save yourself a lot of trouble.

[Crapdaz]

i reckon 9 would be pushing it on the fronts.

and as akina said the right offset and right camber + toe it would fit but buying tyres every couple of weeks/months is a pain.

[defibros]

hmm thanks for the info guys

They are 8 front 9 rear.. +35 all round. tyres are 225/40/18 all round. all guards are rolled.
I had front camber kit so I could run negative in the front.
they almost didnt rub at all at the height in the pic...

so to answer the questions..
8.5 with +35 will be 6mm more outward from my specs in the front..
however, the rear will be 6mm inwards from my specs..

*note
its not practical though

*edit....im missing them bad.....
