looking to see if anyone has done this looking to do a real aggressive stance on the car. i did find someone with them on the back but not on the front. will i have clearance issues? will it rub? in the front? was think +20 offset. heres a link to the guy that has them on the back.

We have way more room in the front then the rear so if you have to make them really "fit" it would be in the back.

With +20 offset it will hit the trailing arm in the rear, spacers will be needed for the rears.

I think you got the offset backwards.

+20 offset will stick 25mm farther out than stock. It's going the other way. Spacers would make it worse.

ITR spec wheels (+60) for example, need spacers to get closer to stock +45. Without spacers, a +60 wheel will scrape the trailing arm.

Nope. He got it right

Prove it. Unless I'm missing something big here, there's no way. We're talking about the offset of the wheel, not of the hub.

This is the best explanation I could find for what I couldn't verbalize myself:


The offset, measured in millimeters, can be negative or positive, and is the distance from the hub-mounting surface to the rim's true centerline. A positive offset means the hub-mounting surface is closer to the outside edge of the wheel, i.e. the wheel wraps around the hub and brake hardware more deeply; a negative offset means the hub-mounting surface is closer to the inside edge of the wheel and wheel sticks outwards more than inwards.
When selecting aftermarket wheels, a wheel with too little positive offset will be closer to edge of the fender, and one with too much positive offset will tuck inside the fender and be closer to the suspension components. Wheel width, offset and tire size all determine the way a particular wheel/tire combination will work on a given car. Offset also affects the scrub radius of the steering and it is advisable to stay within the limits allowed by the vehicle manufacturer. Because wheel offset changes the lever-arm length between the center of the tire and the centerline of the steering knuckle, the way bumps, road imperfections and acceleration and braking forces are translated to steering torques (bump-steer, torque-steer, etc.) will change depending on wheel offset. Likewise, the wheel bearings will see increased thrust loads if the wheel centerline is moved away from the bearing centerline.
In other words using the stock wheel offset number as the starting point, a lower off set number makes the wheel stick out more and a with higher number it sticks out less. (Lower is out more, higher is in more.)

As we know a lower offset equals more poke, due to the width size of the wheel, the offset will need to be low to push it away from the trailing arm since the width of the wheel is so deep. 17x9.5 only fits if it has an offset of 15 or lower. A 17x10 would need a lower than +20, so spacers would be involved.

Ok. Now I understand what you were saying. It's because of the ridiculous width of those wheels. Normal rules don't apply.

Not just that he's going wayyyy lower in offset than before which means super poke which means super ugly haha. We don't want that mexi-flush shit around here

will it seems that you guys know what you are talking about to i have another question, i have yet to put anything wide on my car so i dont really know what fits and what dosnt. so what i was thinking was getting xxr 962 17x9 +35 all around. i have camber kit front and rear. and will roll fenders if needed. with this size will the wheel still hit the trailing arm?

no you'll clear and with a mild roll you wont rub

Whoa whoa whoa explain to me how a 9 +35 fits, but a 10 +20 that has 2 mm MORE inner clearance over the 9 +35 won't fit... That makes absolutely no sense.

AND 10 +20 will poke only 1mm more then that 9.5 +15 everyone is shitting their pants over in the slammed thread. So it doesn't have to be mexi flush if executed properly.

The only thing that intrigues me about this post is the argument of offset.. Never been a fan of rice or beans

yo jd you got 17x9 right? +25? how much space do you have from the rear trailing arm?

MajorJones

Your right Ep3jd. My bad on the miss info..


^ Your maths is a little off. For a 9.5 to have the same inner clearance as a 9 +35 the offset of the 9.5 has to be +29, not +15. So a 17x10 would clear the rear trailing arm at around +23 or +22 but a bit lower would be safer. 18s give better clearance to the rear trailing arm so there is a decent chance that they would fit. It will take a guard roll/pull and some stretch though. Don't even bother unless you are slammed and can adjust both front and rear camber too.

OP, its wasn't very hard to find this info. Took about 30 second to find that quote while baked.This thread is useless IMO, just post of clarifications of previous post.

I've had BBS RS 15x10's et25 on the front of my black Ep3 with the Tracy Sports wide fenders and they fit quite nicely. Couldn't even imagine how horrid they'd look on the rear.
