not sure.
i have an oppurtinuity to get a set of 5Zigen FN01RC's for a very very good price.
my question is that i dont know alot about wheels for my s-13 hatchback, the wheels are F:17"x7" R:17"x8" with a 35mm offset, [ F: 5.37in, R: 5.87in backspacing ] i dont know how this will look, i have read everything on here, and zilvia.net about wheels but i still dont understand fully the whole aspect of it. im used to working on 4wd suv's where wheels are required to be thee same size [as well as tires] and they are all measured in backspacing, so any help or just a point in the right direction would be appreciated. thanks. |

This is important if you are thinking of purchasing aftermarket alloy wheels. The offset is the distance in mm between the centre line of the wheel rim, and the line through the fixing (hub) face. You can have positive (+), negative (-) or neither (0). The first important reason offset is so important is that it is ultimately responsible for the position of the wheel under the wheel arch. Get it wrong and your wheels can scrub against the bodywork, suspension or at worst not turn at all! Secondly it determines how the suspension and self-centering steering behave. The most obvious problem that will occur if you get it wrong is that the steering will either become so heavy that you can't turn the steering wheel, or so light that you need to spend all your time keeping it in a straight line.
this is from race and road Zero offset: The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel. Positive offset: The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front-wheel drive cars. Negative offset: The hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheel's centerline. "Deep dish" wheels are typically negative offset. Offset can be calculated by positioning the wheel on a flat surface and measuring its overall width and backspace as shown below. Divide the overall width by two, then subtract this result from the backspace value. this is from yokohama's site 1. To compensate for a wider wheel: A wider wheel with the exact same scrub radius as the stock wheel will be positioned closer to the suspension components. If the wheel is too much wider, it will not fit. To compensate, you would choose a smaller offset to move the wheel away from the suspension. 2. To create a wider stance: By setting the wheels outward, the stance of the car becomes wider and stability is increased. In some applications, the benefits of this stability are greater than the drawbacks of the scrub radius change and the driver may make this compromise. 3. Looks: A smaller offset moves the wheels outward, so they have a tendency to fill out the wheel well better. Cars set up for show, more than performance will often choose a lower offset wheel, however, if the offset is too small the sidewall will rub the inside of the fender. this is from miata.net this is why offset is important.. bottem line, its status and thats all you really need to know.. 0 = good.. + = generally not good.. at least for the 240's |
Lol.............

oh well,
thanks though. |
It would've been a sick deal though!
|
anyone notice that its really hard to find a good offset for the four lug.
f-this, 5-lug conversion, here i come. |
Man if you can get em for $60, buy them and Craigslist them for double.
More money for new rims :thumb: |
^^^ yea you could almost sell them for almost enough to buy some 002's
|
dont buy 002s either. lol at least not for retail. there not really that great of a wheel.
|
^^:smileeek: :2gunsfiring_v1: WHAT? first of all, you can pick up a set of sportmax's (not just 002's) for cheaper than most lame honda rims, second, they come in ballin' offsets/widths/lip sizes. Third, they are of good quality and i don't think you should be knockin' 002's, cuz you're still rockin' +40's.
|
um, i have 002s. yea
|
Oh... AND... if you want to get some new FN01RC's, shoot me a PM and I'll set you up with a deal.
