Wheel Offsets - the "will this wheel fit" thread

[dennisdwiky]

17x8.5 +30 fit?
i know it says 17x8.5 +32 does, but not sure if the 2mm of difference in the offset will make it fit.. does that mean it will just have more poke?
will be running coils aswell, cheers

Yep, means it will protrude 2mm more. Should still be flush with the guards though, especially with coilovers.

Looking forward to fitting my Advan RG 17x8.5 +31 as related to the above. ;-)

Have centre caps and lugs on order ... still deciding if I want to run them for a bit before getting them cleaned up and returned to as new condition.

What tyres are you planning to fit? Have you rolled the guards?

 

[6A13TT TYPE S]

My rays 17x8.5 +30 fit perfect with a 245/45 tyre, need to roll the guards pretty good and trim the flares. But its the perfect fit IMO

Same for me with 17x8.5+30 with 245/45 tyres. Helps for it to be low and mirroring Adam: need to roll the guards pretty good.

 

[Tas_Legnum]

Yokohama AVS Model 6. 18x8 and 18x9 both +35. Fronts have a 5mm spacer and the rears have had the lips tucked a little on the guards. Nothing major. Tyres are 225/40 on front and 235/40 on rear.

 

[NuffNuff]

18x 10" +20 offset going to look clownish?

Edit: nm ghetto poke

 

[NuffNuff]

would 18x9.5+38 clear the rear bananananana control arm? 235 or 245 tyres

 

[unclepaulie]

No

 

[SLY-031]

No

I'm pretty sure it does.

Isn't that what, shit forgot his name, um one of the original NZ guys with the trigger Legnum ran no worries years and years ago?

Close as hell but serviceable..

Bradc I think

I picked up a set of Evo X Enkeis, 18x8.5. Tested them from and back without tyres and they clear without tyres, trying to figure out what tyres will fit on a Super Legnum - thinking 235/40? Any advice?

 

[Dice]

235/40R18 is a good size but you will get slight rubbing when low or bottoming the suspension. Rolling the rears recommended but if ride height isn't low it won't be an issue.

Cheers mate - so that should clear the banana arm? I've got stock suspension in there, was still going to get the guards rolled and flared a little.

I have had 2 sets on evo x gsr rims (18x8.5 +35) on my super VR4 Legnum. I went through a set of 225/40, 2 sets of 235/40 and a short stint on 245/40. Even after rolling the rears of the Legnum, 245 had slight rubbing with a big load in the back but with very low suspension no issue in my Galant.

All definitely clear the inner suspension.

 

[Wellsy1212]

Cheers dude. Appreciate the help.

18x8.5 +32
Looking at above ^^ does it mean it should tuck in nicely with the right size tyre? Still trying to figure out what wheels to get for it and such, someone help me out?

 

[steveP]

Those specs will fit pretty easily. A 235/40 will be fine.
