After re-lipping, am I correct in saying the new size will be 18x10 et 23?

shouldn't your new size be 18x10 +10? Cause you added 1inch extra and that's 25.4mm

wyteboiii · 01-04-2012, 02:01 AM

(Super zilvia flame suit on) I got some 17x10 +20 526's for colse to free. I dont really like them but wanted to stir the shit just by saying I should make the lips 6.25" from 4.25" just to fuck with people... 17x12 -10 526's lol Everyone would be like dude whear did you get those. Id be all like Enjuku sells them for 160, call them! LMAO!

no your wrong its a bit less then -13mm less offset if you add a inch to the lip its +13mm if you add it the barrel. you need to understand how offset works.

Many one piece wheels can be stepped this way. I'm currently stepping a set of SE37K's.

joel903 · 01-04-2012, 03:37 PM

Please explain it to me cause you just got me totally confused. I thought I had it figured out but i guess not. I thought 1in = -25.4mm to original offset?

MidwestMyriad · 01-04-2012, 03:38 PM

So you cut the inner section o the wheel out, then have barrels made, then have them heated to open them up a little more, insert wheel section into barrel, and finish weld?

Black R · 01-05-2012, 09:17 AM

I hope to take some te37's in 15x8 and have them widened at the outside (re-lipped) to 15x11.

Ok so I was going to explain it, But i remembered we already covered it on here so just read post#132 to #152 if you still dont get i will try to help again then. Also check out the link i posted somewhere there also.

joel903 · 01-06-2012, 01:09 AM

I went back and read the post you mentioned. Thanks, now I know how to calculate offset.

Like if I were to take my 18x8 +45 vsxx with 2inch lip and 5.5 rear barrel and swap out the lip to a 4" lip. My new offset and size would be 18x10 +20?

!Zar! · 01-06-2012, 02:21 AM

Wouldn't a 5.5" barrel + 2" lip = 7.5"?

joel903 · 01-06-2012, 03:03 AM

Yes that's correct on your part, but I just didn't list the face on there. The face adds .5inch

Rear barrel- 5.5"
Face- .5"
Lip- 2"

Equals 8" rim.

yup sounds about right but just remember you are still adding 2 inches to the lip so the rim will fit like most 18x10 0 offest wheels fit

No, because VS-XX is face mount. Not sandwich, so they do not add the face width.

Either the barrel, or lip is wrong size or he's saying he wants a new 5.5" barrel.

18x8 +45 A-disk VS-XX is 6" barrel, 2" lip.

adding 4" lip = 18x10 +20. However, swapping to 5.5" barrel + 4" lip = 9.5 +13

That's what I thoughttttttttt

Go to The Place to Buy & Sell Wheels › WheelFlip.com and send an e-mail.

joel903 · 01-12-2012, 09:15 AM

Thanks for pointing out to me that the VSXX is face mount and not sandwich mount like the equip, C4lvin. I went to measure the rim again and it is 2" lip and 6" barrel, my bad.

turbo2nr · 01-12-2012, 09:22 AM
