Baller status for sho
Been calculating here n there on the rims/tires I want, but can't replace real life...
Baller wheel offset calcaulator? Sticky?

Too bad there aren't too many xxx/30/18 tires out there I have majestic plans muahaha :P
It's great in the sense that you can get an idea of pretty much everything (theoretically).
Everything about the tire AND rim... which has been not so possible with previous calculators (which either only calculated tires or only rim offsets).
This thing goes many steps further by calculating offset, back spacing, tire diameters, tirewall height, and much more all in all, together as a whole package and has awesome visual representation, etc...
Can give people a far better idea of what tires and what rims one can really fit, and how it'll affect both spacing inside, outside and height wise.
The only thing not implemented is really tire stretching. You can get an idea of how much of a bulge you would get at least (approximately) with this, if you were to fit too wide tires on small rims, just again not stretching (which I'm not pro of anyways).
295/30/18 on a 18"x10.5J ET-15 front and rear should be pretty tyte for road racing and baller for sho lol, with crazy widebody/flares that is (BN Blister 50mm front and 70mm rear? Hmm sexy). I'm pretty stupid that I plan to spend about 5grand on tires and rims in the very close future for what... a car that cost me 5 times less initially :P All in all, this gave me a better idea of what I will get... imagine spending that money and having garbage fitment and no refund...
So, for all of those that constantly ask about wheel fitment, flushness, etc... use this thing... and if you still ask, you're just lazy. The thing gives in mm exactly how much what will change. So for example, if outer spacing increases by 20mm, or something like that, go out and use a ruler and check how much that will be and if it'll be 'flush'

Re: (jjisguilty)
I wasa thinking the same thing. "why won't it let me stretch?"

Re: (wa-chiss)
ewh, i dont like it
Re: (yokota180sx)
Hahaha, it's cause it doesn't allow stretching (boo stretching, yea yea, im a hater)

not relaly, its becuase it doenst do anythin a normal calculator doesnt
it just has a picture

Re: (churro)
Back from the dead, since alots changed in my life and ive actually built my car lol... i run 255/40/17 front and rear now on 17x9+17. With shock/spring agx/stech combo it fit perfect, any lower and it wont work though.
With my coilover setup had like 2-3mm of clearance running -3.0 of camber even -3.8 initially before adjusting... so just a thought... the front needed slight pull on fenders but fits perfect.
Edit: two things i did also, i cut a tiny bit of the front bumper edge so the outer tire doesnt rub. I run 7.0 caster although I could run massively more but its just not necessary.
Also I smashed those seams that go across... and i tightened the harness a bit.. although ideally youd want to relocate.
It's worth the work.
