Rims

[Jezzah]

Hey im getting rims for my jazz.
17 x 7 with 205/45
offset is 40
will it scrape my guard? (im thinking of loweriong it by 2" as well)
whats the offset for the jazz

[asiansquad]

i'm running 16x6.5 205/45

and it's scarping the guard after lowering =\

[bagaichiban]

mine, 17x7, 205/40 lowered, no problem at all.

If you are interested, i am thinking selling mine...pm me if u want for more detail or pics

205/45 is the incorrect tyre size....you should be getting 205/40.

I have 7inch wide rims and it doesn't scrape at all, but I can't remember what offset they are (Could be a +42). That will be the key factor for you, but I am pretty sure that a +40 offset "should" be OK. But that said everyone seems to have different experiences.

If it does scrape, just fix it up...it won't be a major problem.

205/40 for 17 is ok... cos 16" is smaller i believe 205/45 should b ok... only offset must b correct to prevent from scraping..... before i had 205/50 in my 15".. it didnt scrape at all when i was using my spring... but after lowering the car more, the tyres scrape the guard....

[Jezzah]

i'll give it a try.. im gettin them today..
it shouldnt scrape unless i lower it.. if it does then i'll jst roll the guards or semothing..
hey jus-10 how else can i fix it without rolling the guard?

sometimes rolling also useless....

[Jus-10]

Yeah it all depends on what it is actually scraping on.....If it is the guard, then you will need to look at rolling it.

It may just be something small, like a bit of plastic or something which can just been filed off.

You will just have to wait and see what the go is afterwards.

Stiffen your suspension like rock hard~hehhe, get a JIC suspension kit, you won't even feel ur car has spring~heheh~:p

In one of the books i have on the jazz it mentions about wheel sizes and the likes.

next time im home ill try and scan it and post it up.

yeah.... If you are getting 17" according to Hyper Rev the offset should be +25 and the tyres used should be 205/40/17. For 16" the offset should be +38 with 195/45/16 tyres. This are the perfect sizes for the Jazz according to Hyper Rev

[Jus-10]

That is a pretty aggressive offset (+25). You will experience scraping with that for sure! (More like guard damage)

I had +35 with 7" wide Buddy Club P1s and that was bordering on sticking out beyond the guards. (Unfortunately I never got to drive it with the wheels on though)

I am pretty sure that I am now running +42 with 7" wide wheels and there are no issues at all...the tyres don't even come close to hitting the guard

[Jezzah]

17 x 7
205/40
offset 40
it looks really close to the guard.. have about 5mm gap..
would droping it by 2" scrape?
anyone have simular rims and tyres?

[Jezzah]

+40 +42 which one sticks out more?

Oh I guess.. just qouting the Hyper Rev book... according to their recommendations. :) I guess they are not that accurate or they are doing this VIP style thing that is so popular there... deep dish with extreme negative cambering and undersize tyres.

I myself have 15x6.5 +45 offset... no problem with rubbing aswell. I'm using 195/50/15...

[Jezzah]

so as the number decreases it'll stick out (+25) will stick out more than (+45)
ok what i'll do it post up picture of my car with the 17" not lowered.. and u guys tell me what u think.

[joey_kev]

tyres should be 205/40/17
I've seen 18s on a jazz, they look hot
I reckon 17" are way too common on jazz now, get 18" and be different

[Jezzah]

yeh i know about the rims and tyres..
it doesnt really matter the size of the rims. is the offset that'll piss you off.

[TGZ-Jay]

i have 15 stock vtis rims no problem at all hehehehe :P

[asiansquad]
