its simple since ur making the wheel a inch wider the new center of the wheel has changed which effects the offset. Since you now have changed it by 25mm u need to divide it in half so u get 12.5mm and subtract it from the offset. This is why when u get a 25mm spacer ur only adding the 25mm because the wheel center didnt change just the hub of the rim. its like adding 25mm to the front and taking it from the back barrel pushing it out 25mm. So in the end no matter what you will still have the wheel stick out 25mm more using either method but offsets willl be different. Simple as this dont think of being more flush because u have low offest wheels because similar size wheels with same offset can have different fitment because we need to consider what the backspace is and the hub of the wheel where it attaches to the cars hub ahhh it fucking sucks trying to explain this to someone not in front of you Last edited by blueshark123; 06-08-2011 at 02:46 PM.. |

10 +0...adding 25mm on the outside will make it fit like a 10 -25 would fit. BUT The wheel is wider so you have to take the overall width and calculate the new offset. So, as a mini recap, it was a 10 +0, 25mm larger lips were added - so the inside fitment stayed the same. That means you can use the wheel offset calculator to check your math quite easily: So you can see that with the new width your wheel size will be 11 -13 (actually -12.5 if you want to get picky) and that will fit ~25mms further out then the 10 +0.

^^^ 95-KA Turbo has it exactly right.
I used to try and explain all this when working at Savini (3pc custom forged wheels), people didn't get it at all.

I spent a good 15-20 mins trying to figure out what my RSs would be with new lips and I was like OMG I can use the wheel offset calculator!!!!! It saved a whole lot of headache because I basically had no way of checking if my math was right.

I know what you mean. I sell all kinds of wheels. And I get that questions so much. And I fucking hate when people see a car...and they don't know anything about it, but want it to look like what they saw. lol. Total waste of fucking time. yesterday I had some retard wanting to put 22's on a Acura TSX. 22x9's!!! I told him it wouldn't fit...and then he said..well i'm gonna lift the car. i wanted to throw up on the inside. |

I dont know if its been covered already, but can you widen cast wheels like Varrstoens? I have a pair of 10.5 +0s that i would love to make 11.5s or 12s. If so where do they get the material to make the other 1.5" of barrel?

Unless you're a fabricator I'd recommend getting ahold of someone who welds wheels for a living. I believe there is a dude in CA listed in this thread, not sure which page though. I know you can weld cast metal in general, just not sure about cast wheels.

I thought I'd add in here that VR Wheels makes replacement lips for VS-XX and Work Equips now too! I just emailed them to ask if they can make custom bolt pattern lips, hopefully they can so I can just build random pairs of wheels hahaha.
Only 195 a lip for 17X4s!!!! http://www.vrwheels.com/aftermarket-...lip-c-117.html

That's double what they cost in 18, 19, and 20. I'm sure they're making a killing. Is that chrome or polished?

We never did 17" or 18", but those were cheaper by $10 or $15. It's just really hard to sell $1000+ 18" wheels nowdays, so we never did 3pc in 18". I know not everyone can place a $10k order or wheel parts, but I'm just saying, they're making some money. As long as their customer service is good I'd say it's still a good deal.

I thought wrong, work sucks. Own companies, acquire currency, disregard females. Plus they moved locations and I was driving over an hour to work, hour and a half back. FUUUUUUUUUCK that. Check the SEMA job board for stuff in your area.

Yeah these are 'reverse mount' 3pc wheels, like virtually all wheels with lip. The rear has the drop center for mounting tires.
Haha, glad you guys enjoy that!

Can a rear barrel like the one below be used as a lip? thanks

$200 for brand new 3.5" lip is a friggin sweet deal -->Aftermarket replacement lip : VR Wheels WebStore, Presented By VR Motoring
For the rear barrel mounted as a front lip you'll have to drill the hole for the valve stem |

Why is everything always located out in Cali? This thread makes my wheel shopping so much damn easier.
