What offset for Volk TE37 Sunken Spokes for S13? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

hybrid_eg · 04-19-2005, 05:45 PM

Want to go with TE37 w/sunken spokes but cant figure out the right offset for the wheels.. i would want to run either 18's or 17's. So i'm assuming the width would be 8-8.5F to 9R.

Tire sizes, 225F 255R its a stock body S13, w/Tein HE's so it can be cambered in the front if needed, do not want max camber like before just to make the wheels fit.. as long as its no more then -2 its fine with me.
As for the rear whatever would be the lowest camber possible to run it as flush as possible w/given tire width.

Any idea guys?

+20,22 REAR and +25and up FRONT?

Many Tks in advance, p.s. if anyone has any pictures to show that would be even better.

Well the sicker looking, the lower offset typically, which means more chance of rubbing. So, if you want to run +20 on your rears on a 9.5 or 10 inch rim, you're definitly gonna need rolling and some flaring/pulling. +20 on the front with a 8.5 or 9 inch rim will still require some rolling and pulling but a lot less. If you're willing to go with flared/pulled fenders go lower offset. But i'd say for conservatism, go around +20 for both, 8 inch front 9 inch rear, or 9 inch front 10 inch rear.

17x8 +15 front, 17x9 +22.
Something along those lines.
opt for face 2 as well

many tks guys, at this point it will definitely be between 17 or 18's, and width for sure 8 and 9 rear.. as for the +20 or +22 rear offset with the wheel i'm looking toget how much would it dish in? i would assume quite some correct? i.e. my 24 offset in the rear on my 19x10 LM right now yields 3" lip.. (not a nissan) but offset vs width should be the same..

Also what is face 2 if you dont mind me asking.. any pics would be greatly appreicated. Tks!

btw, those wheels would be going on this hizzoe! hehehe, i want my brother to buy her and keep this gem in the family as the power to weight is unreal!

they have face 1 and 2 options on most Ray's wheels. The face 2 and generally more deepdish. For the rear you might as well go with +20, you can make it fit. Dont get 18's though, 18's look ridiculous on s13's and having some tire is functional. tire/tire size recommendations as well, 225/40R17 and 245/45R17, Kumho MX's are a great tire for the price.

on an 8 and a 9 inch rim, id run 235/40/17 and a 255/40/17

Thing is, all tire manufacturers make 225/245, not all make 235/255. I agree those sizes are more desireable but also on a s13 front, putting a 235 on requires some pulling possibly modification
