Need some help with drag rims... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey guys... I need a little schooling on the 240sx (S13 model) as far as what offset rim to use. I am going to be using a 26"x10" slick. I've never learned about how to measure and calculate offset. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

lots of cool things like this out there on the internet, anyway offset is just another way to calculate backspacing except the offset is measured from the center of the wheel instead of from the inner lip to the wheel hub. Would be best to measure on your car with the suspension you have for how much backspace you actually have (take a ruler and square it with the face of the hub and measure to the suspension members).

If that calculator doesn't help ya, you can try emailing Enjuku. They ran 26x10.5 on 15x9 Bogarts....
