[CL9] Low offset wheels [Archive]

he doesnt mean by appearance...
his talking about performance problems....

from what i noticed even though mine are +50 to +43 from the 2 sets same tyre widths,
turning circle is slightly bigger, you can also put more stress on your wheel hub and wheels nuts.... but other than that not much difference, and slight ride comfort too.

I had 8.5" with +40

In looks, it was perfect, flush with the guards! But make sure you lower it, or else you look mexican.

Some people say it is bad because your losing 15mm of thread from the lugs, but I didn't have any major problem at all. Been 2 track days with no problems.

So I would definitely recommend it! 8.5 > 7.5 Looks much more agressive at the back and more traction ftw :)
in terms of traction it depends on your tyres you put on.... width wise....

Well Aaron didn't make it clear if he wanted appearance or performance comments :p

Also, isn't it, you putting more stress on your wheel hub and nuts?
and how does changing wheel width and offset benefit any ride comfort?

I believe 8.5 has a better steering response than a 7.5 as well.

+38 on a 7.5 inch rim or +40 on a 8 inch rim is not a low offset at all this is actually classed as a high offset,

Rein' runs 9.5 inch on the rear with a plus +45 offset but with a 25mm bolt on spacer effectively making it a 9.5 inch with a +20 offset on the rear,

He has rolled and slightly pumped the rear guards, and trimmed away any plastic.

Also depends on size of the wheels,

u could be rolling on 17's that are fat as,

or 20's,

And how lowered your car is..

They all make a diffrence..

post up the specs ur looking at getting..

And someone here should be able to help..

Rein's setup isn't so practical. I'm sure not many people here are willing to go through tyres every month. Not everyone here is after show car specs.

Throw the 8.5 at the front and the 7.5 at the rear.
This helps with the understeer.

And how much negative camber are you willing to run?
For street use, max I'll recommend is -2 if you care about your tyres.

As alex has said.... agree to that tyres don't grow on trees and nor does money hahahaa :p

aaron if you want to go that low, just make sure you get wheel spacers.
And make sure you don't drive near popos cause they will defect you cause your wheel will stick too far out....

It would look aggressive but you might not like the fact the wheel stick out of the guards....

Yeah I have -3, tyre wear is pretty even just rotate regularly.

For looks and low offset does this help?

Reins setup is aggressive, The op asked for different low offset setups so I let him know the most aggressive euro setup in oz.

He does not go through tyres every month though, if u have a good wheel alignment and the correct toe, it should last a while.

A Low offset is generally anything in the +20's and lower..

what would be a tought offset for an 18x8.5 on a cl9.... i was thinking around +33 - +35?

If on the front a +25- +28 would be tough.. As long as u lower it down.. I have seen this stance with my own eyes on euro..

everyone will move out of your way..

For the rear 8.5 u could fit a +15 now that will look nuts, but I think 8.5 looks a bit skinny for the rear from behind..

Like I said earlier if u want a tough aggressive fitment check out Reins setup, and work from there..

LOL it wont look tough it will look like those buggy LOL not safe for those pedestrian too ahaha. offset 33 to 38 r good for the flush and phatt look :D

i think if u go lesser than offset 30 ull need to consider changing the wheel studs just to be safe.

Sorry i should have been a bit clearer with my question..low offset as in low compared to stock around the 40 mark..not insane offset like 25 :p

Anyway I've test fitted the wheels I want and the rubber sticks out maybe 2mm away from the fender and I didnt experience any rubbing..however my car is not that low..

Photossss Aaron :)

Maybe just increase the negative camber a little bit to tuck it in if it bothers you haha
But I guess a little bit is alright, I'm sticking out about 2mm as well on my dc5 lol

Would this fit the euro without rolling the guards?

- size 19 x 8.5
- offset +35
- tyres 235/35

Or am I pushing it!

Crapdaz

20-09-2009, 08:18 PM

might be pushing it, cause it will hit the fender for sure i reckon.

what are you dumped on or are you using stock suspension?
if it's stock it should be fine.

lol these rims are worse than my old rims..I just cleaned them and it was bloody long and tedious..I still love them tho!
hey aaron, you were @ Hurstville tonight @ the 3hr council carpark? 2 cars away from me, parked head in..... *i think*
Saw your wheels, they look alright but, look a bit small *no offense*

Kinda look like a drag car now.

My front wheels are 17x7.5 ET41 and they scrub slightly when i go over bumpy road quickly or not slow down enough over speed humps and im only lowered by about 25mm. Based on this im 99% certain you will need to roll your guards assuming your car is lowered.

whres the piccies :(

Low offset people needs some camber work done and guard work done. without them just dont bother doing low offset wheels.

i know its a big ask but....will 18x8 +25 front and back fit? with rolled guards?

kitbkk

27-09-2009, 05:23 PM

^^ wont fit for sure...unless you are running less (more negative) camber than -3.5 in front, and around -4 in the rear..added that with all guards rolled, shaved, bumper mounts shaved and redrilled for new mounts, inner plastic cut, and also you gotta run at least 195 tyres to make it stretched..ask Tranz LOL he is having the same width and offset in the rear..he is running 215 tyes and they still rubs.

I am running +22 offset atm. 18x7.5
all guards and rear bumper works are as said above. They rubs sometimes in the rear..But front rubs like 3-4 times a day. However I am not running stretched tyres though, they are 225 on 7.5.

28-09-2009, 02:33 PM

does anyone know if 19 x 8.5" +40 and 19 x 9.5" +42. will fit on the euro?

Also anyone in Australia running work vs-xx's?

kitbkk

28-09-2009, 02:38 PM

^that will fit if you roll guards, run 225/35 tires, negative camber in the rear.
felixd is running vs-xx on his euro.

28-09-2009, 03:35 PM

thanks kit so cant fit 235s on the back at all?

kitbkk

28-09-2009, 04:11 PM

my old specs:
19x8.5f and 9.5r. +41 all round. I was running 235 tires all round too.
235's can be fitted but you gotta do more fender/camber job. It depends on your ride height too. I had rear control arms cut off one inch and rewelded to move the rear wheels forwards a bit to prevent them from rubbing. 225 even though is not safe to do would give it more stretched and give it more clearance. Running -3 camber or less would be bad for your tires though.

quick question
what happens when you need to rotate tyres with offset sized tyres?

always take it back to tyre shop for a small charge to rotate the wheels?

kitbkk

02-10-2009, 07:53 AM

quick answer
you will stuck to rotate staggered set tires.
front stays front and rear stays rear.
some people will just get cheap tires that have symmetric thread pattern. swap inside out.
my new set up FTW LOL. Now i can rotate them! and they are grippy grippy! fun fun to drive!

just as a guess, i dont think it would rub the guards but would possibly rub the suspension?

will fit if you run 225 or smaller tires I think.
+45 shouldn't rub the shocks.

hey guys just a quick question

i got given a set of 225/35/20 wheels with +35 offset
its on the car, and i want to lower it
i was gonna go eibachs with 1inch drop, but was curious if i dropped it on h&r's on 1.3 front and rear.

just need to know if i need to roll my gaurds if i lower it with either setup

just looking at the wheel fender and the wheel, im getting the feeling that it will stick out just a little bit from the fender.. but im not sure until i really do it.
any ideas guys?

felixd

15-11-2009, 02:07 PM

cut bit of the plastic guard and roll it properly ull need camber if the width of the wheels are x 8.5"

What width and offset should i be looking for in the 20' variety? Will be dropped atleast 2.5 - 3 inches

Cheers..

be more specific..

are u after sexspec style or true OG VIP style?

As there is a big diffrence in widths with these 2 styles,

sexspec just go down to your local wheels store and buy a set of 20's u like they will probably be like 7 inches wide max 8.5 and the will have a offset in there mid to high +40's, so with just a guard roll and the natural camber from a 3inch drop they will be fine.

But if u want True OG VIP style, then you will need something in the minimum 9.5 inches preferably in the double diggits 10+ with a low offset thats modderate not to wild as they wont fit then on a euro, some in the mid +30's then u need a camber kit and pump those guards or better still shave the lips off.

So 9.5 rear with a +35 roughly will be a sweet set up with the right camber, front u can work out,
Or just check out what kittbkk and Atjo had on there Euro's.

17 x 9.5J +15 Offset ????

just by reading the offset threads made, it doesnt seem like an easy approach at the fronts, but seems the rears will just stick up tad bit.

14-12-2009, 05:16 PM

check out this for low offset, my mates bought new rims for his R32 so i put his old Work Eurolines on the euro for a laugh, it was undriveable with them. the fronts were 17X8.5 with 0 offset, and the rear were 18X8.5 with +6 offset.

[ IV 23 VI ]

04-01-2010, 03:51 PM

hahaha boys,
What I mean is Hella Flush is hardcore dont get me wrong, but compared to VIP..
Hella flush is like mild tune in VIP, most hella flush cars are wide wheel, low offset, stretch tire with samll drop,
VIP doesnt always tuck tires, Modern day VIP cars do, as most of them are on air and have less aggressive setups this is more of a EXE (executive) style,
Old school VIP cars, have wide ass wheels 11-13inches wide fairly normal, negative offsets, dumped on coils, and have there guards radiused to get even lower to the ground without tucking rim, so it looks body dropped..

Hi Guys
wondering if i can get some help with running 17x9 +35 all round?
im guessing 225's will clear with some negative camber on both front and rear? im just wondering how it will go when turning?? anyone experienced issues with full lock running 9s at the front? also what front and rear camber kits give the most negative camber?

I have a random question. Let's say I will fit 18x9s for the rear with some of the modifications such as lipping and pumping the guards. Will these modifications affect Pink Slip?

No.. height wise, yes.

getting fn2r(18" civic stockies) rims for my euro. was thinking of running spacers. they are 18's with +55 offset. was gonna get like 8mm for the fronts and 15,20mm at the rear making like +47 fronts +35 - +40 rears. Anyone know if this would b a good look? Should i go with 15(+40) or 20(+35) spacers at the rears?

+40 at the rears should be fine coz i'm running 8.5" +41 and one finger gap with no scrubbage. Even if you go to +35 it should be fine coz I've tried 8.5" +30 at the back with no scrub. So, if you want a more flush look then go +35.

05-04-2010, 09:19 PM

My last set of wheels were the FN2R rims... I had no issue with any of the above mentioned. Personally, I didnt run any spacers and the look of the wheels whilst it was dropped was the BOMB. Refer to the forums to locate the image.

How would 19x8 with roughly +38 offsets and 225's up front and 245s at rear sit without rolling guards.

How would 19x8 with roughly +38 offsets and 225's up front and 245s at rear sit without rolling guards.

why would you go 245 at the rear? keep it all at 225. 8" +38 at back should definitely be fine without guard work. however, the front will probably require guard rolling if your slammed.

I am looking of selling my HP designs with 19"x8 dont know the offset to be honest

I am looking at buying a new set of wheels 18"x8.5 +30offset front and 18x9.5 dished +30 offset i think as well

Yep you'll definately need to get camber arms front and rear. I'm running 18x8.5 +40 at the rears and it fits nicely with -1 camber. With the 18x9.5 + 30, thats pushing it but its doable. gotta full camber it

Besides fitment you should consider how these very heavy wheels are gonna affect the way your car drives. If you dont really care about handling then go for it but if you do steer clear. Looks aren't everything and you cant see your sick wheels when you are driving.

depends what the rear offset it is, iv got 19x8 +40 front and 19x9 +35 rears, fronts need no camber, im riding about 60mm of the ground at the front with guards rolled and i dont scrub, running minimal camber on the rear and riding very flush, never scrubs either, but ive rolled and pulled the rear guards, modified the rear bumper etc... i put some 18x9 +25's on the other day in the rear and they sat very nice and im gonna chuck some 18X10 +10's on next weekend and see if i can make it work, should be fun!

fronts you will gain 11mm more inner clearance and extend out and extra 49mm
rear you will lose 12mm inner clearance and outer will extend an extra 52mm

Would there need to be much guard modification to fit them in ?
Also would they clear the stock brakes ?

shmivic

26-04-2010, 02:03 PM

i think there would be substantial guard modification required and some heavy negative camber.

unsure regarding the brakes but id say they would clear them.

kitbkk

26-04-2010, 03:00 PM

The Gullflame's look hot! Don't think I have seen them on a euro.
Regarding the specs, the rear can be made fit with some 225's if not 215's with anything more than -3 to -4, guards rolled, and rear bar shaved.
Front wont have any problem with brakes FOR SURE. But you will have problems with the guards instead. It could be done with -4 camber in the front with 215 tires. Front specs is too crazy! Could be done but I would hate to drive it LOL.

elitee

26-04-2010, 03:44 PM

haha ye i wanted to try something unique, it sounds like alot of work tho.

maybe i should look into lesser width.

would 7.5" - 8" front and 8.5" rear do the job? i like the concave look so id like to keep the offsets low as possible.

shmivic

26-04-2010, 07:35 PM

8.5 front and 9.0 or 9.5 rears is where its at.

i run 8.5+42 all round and its just right, guards rolled a little, slammed and natural camber.
no scrubbing at all.
the rear could use a 10mm spacer tho but im not bothered, very happy with the fitment as it is.

would look alright, depends if your going for race look or baller style.
10x114.3 fit 5x114.3? WTF, for example, 18x7.5 (18" by 7.5" wide); 5x114.3 (5 studs x 114.3mm between each stud; aka PCD)
Not clear.

yes +48 is plenty.

hi aaron, still trolling the forums....i see.

RiceMeister

11-08-2010, 01:08 PM

go a lower offset in the front, 8.5 is an ok width, but you'd be better off going a lower offset if you want a bit more of an agressive look without really being very aggressive...if that makes sense?

As racerwannabe said above, +48 is pretty conservative, look for something in the mid 30's, like a +35 or +38, fitment will still be easy.

11-08-2010, 01:11 PM

can anyone clarify whether or not +38 or lower can clear the turning circle without scrapping the wheels on suspension if your 8" or more in width?

i am running 9.5" +25 all round and my front doesn't rub anywhere (zero finger gap at front)
and the front only has a lip roll no pull.

11-08-2010, 04:35 PM

It will not stick out. Maybe close to flush.
front will be quite close to flush, rears will be sunk depending on how low you go as the lower you are the more negative camber at the rear (unless you have a camber kit)

oh ok, would i need to get new tyres to fit 17x8.5 rims? im on the stock 17" tyres right now (im pretty sure they're 225/45R17)

you can run the same rubber, i think recommended rubber on 8.5 is something like a 235/45? running a 225 will give you a very mild stretch, barely noticeable, just make sure you get a wheel balance.
