wheel Offset help please?! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

harsh tymes s13 · 12-12-2009, 12:12 PM

I have a 1990 240sx with 5 lug conversion. I am going to run 18x9.5 wheels in the rear. I don't want the wheels to stick out past the fender. What offset should I run. I was thinking 15m for the rear. The front will be 30m offset. All of my fenders are rolled. I'm going to use a 245/45r18 for the rear tires as well. Accurate experienced advice is appreciated.

to be honest. i've looked through about 50 pages of the thread so far and can't seem to get an answer to my question... there whould be an "ask about offset here" thread.

i for instance am probably getting wheels that are 8 in wide up front and 10 in the back, either that or 10 all the way around. i hve no clue what offset to get and haven't found anyone in that thread that's running that size in the front so compare offsets. i guess gotta keep looking.

That thread isn't to find your exact set-up.

Look for key traits. Stock fenders, either rolled or pulled. Overfenders, 30mm, 50mm, 70mm. Tire size, either stretched or meaty. And then look at their wheel size. Use an offset calculator (Wheel Offset Calculator), and compare what you want to run with what they're running.

It's not that hard really.

and because I'm feeling nice, there's two example of the set-up you're wanting to run on this page.
