can someone help me with this?

hey all,

i was looking on the web for some rims and how they fit and look. i found a car with what im looking for to the T!! the only problem is i cant get any info on them.

im posting it here to see if anyone here can figur out what rims they are and i know its a long shot but maybe a offset.

this is the offset i want cause there no fender rolling and the car is as stock as it can be. that offset is perfect!!

i dont want to roll the fenders at all and i would like to stay around a 15x8 all round or 16`s is the bigest. but this is what im looking for anyone know how i can get this on my car?




thanks all and sorry if im being noob

Pretty sure those fenders are rolled.
As far as pulled, i don't think they are, but most def rolled.

those rims have to be bigger than 16".. i'm guessing 17... the wheel fitment thread might be of some use to you....

Looks like a staggered fitment to me. Either 18/17 or 17/16.

Definitely check out the wheel fitment whore thread.

Ya been looking at the thread and i found a guy with some rims i would like and i can just powered coat them black. He gave all the specs that he had on them rims


If i am to copy him with all the specs he wrote down my car should look the same as his right? Or u think it wont match up for some reason.

Like these are the specs he has for his car
weld prostars (bling bling!)
front - 15x7" -13mm (+12 wheel & 25mm spacer due to spoke design = effective -13mm )
rear - 15x8" +25mm

205/60-15 up front, 235/60-15 in rear (they're BFG DR's, changing those out to 225/60-15 soon)

megan coils, still have another 2 inches to go front and rear, it will stay like this since its about perfect. might pick up a 10mm spacer in the rear once i downsize to 225's...


If i do exactly what he did my rims should turn out just like his car looks and high and fitment?? I even have the same exact car as him.

I just hate to spend all the money on these rims and my car turn out way diffrent then his.

Not sure why you want to copy someone, but there are always subtle differences between cars, bushing wear, previous damage that's been repaired, etc.

You won't know 100% until you do it, and then you may have to tweak it to make it look the way you want...

But copying his setup will definitely get you close.

Good sir. Please read these two threads before asking any more questions.

http://zilvia.net/f/tech-talk/166626...1-dummies.html

http://zilvia.net/f/chat/129865-whee...s-no-post.html

Thank you.

P.s. Most wheels are designated by offset, not backspacing. Both of which are severely affected by the overall width of the rim. There is no single answer.

So you went from wanting your car to sit on 17/18 x 9~ to sitting on 15x7?

Please reevaluate.

Edit: Just noticed OP's location.
