Wheel Fitment Question Thread

[juhd]

i dont know if this makes sense but i have a 18x9.5 +12 up front on my 13 hatch. what offset in 18x9 would make it similar to the fitment of the 9.5 +12? disregarding the tire size.

Difference between the 4 is basically brake clearance and amount of lip possible with each wheel. O-disc if you want the most amount of lip possible but the catch is you have the least amount of brake clearance. T-Disc gives you the most brake clearance but you have the least amount lip. Basically, the more brake clearance you get, the less lip you'll have. You'd need to go to a lower offset to get the same amount of lip.

Just to understand, I'll use a 18x10 VS-XX w/ 112mm lips:
O-disc +7
A-disc +0
R-disc -17
T-disc -22

They are all the same width, same lip amount but the offsets are completely different between the 4 faces.
If you need a T-disc but you need similar offset as the +7 O-disc, you'd need to get +4 or +9 R-disc but instead of getting 112mm lips, you'd only get 87mm.

My Man! Thanks. I looked at that chart but was still not quite sure. I think a nice compromise for brake clearance and lip with a 75mm - 90mm lip would be good, that's still about 3" of lip, and has ability to clear big brakes or Z brakes

17/18x9 +15 fits everything.

I assume that your 18x9.5 +12 either slightly pokes or is mostly flush, right? In back, you will want to come out about another 5mm-10mm. Why not run equal fitment all around and just run a 5mm spacer in back?

Just for reference, I had a set of O-disk VS-KFs. I had to run atleast 12-13mm spacers to clear Z32/R32 brakes up front. O-disk cleared Z32/R32 rear brakes by literally a hair.

18x9 +6 will have the same outer position, 12mm more inner clearance
