Trying to find the offset of these

[SirSilvia]

They're 18" TSW Thruxtons, 5x114.3 bolt pattern, 8" wide

Actual width of the wheel from outer lip to lip is 9". From the back lip to the hub mounting surface is 6" and from the hub mounting surface to the outer front lip is 3".So is the offset 1.5" (38.0999mm)?

...right?

Got these from a friend for dirt cheap, they were previously on an Altima.They probably won't fit without some spacers, ...and with 5 lug hubs.But at $50 for four $215 wheels with Fierce HP tires I couldn't pass em up.

So basically just want to know for sure what the offset is.

Thanks guys/gals

BTW I was going off this http://www.fullsizechevy.com/f....html

The offset is usually stamped on the back of the wheel. But this might help:

+38mm that sounds right.

but these aren't that nice, take off the tires and sell the wheels.

make a profit and have rubber to show for it.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

I'd rock em. They're not that bad.

[Kalypso]

its not soo much how they look, its how well you can make them fit.

steelies are dirt cheap... and behold.

you're never going to get a nice look on a 240 with these, they will always be second rate. Also its not a real 3 piece wheel... fake 3 piece sux

Why is everyone so obsessed with wheel fitment?

They don't have to be sticking out and tucked with camber to look nice.

friend of mine has these in 18s +20 on his 350..they look great.

if s13. id run a 15mm spacer all roundif s14 id run a 20mm spacer all round.

I admit... I am genuinely obsessed.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Needs spacers!

[Kalypso]

my point exactly... if you can buy an enzo you can certainly afford spacers.

my friend has those one his s14, ill see if i can get a pic up. hope he wont mind if i post a pic, but here it is.



hope it helps on what they look like on the s14.

those don't look that bad, and helps to hhave a visual, i have an s13 with 4 lug. 5 lug conversion and some spacers and not spending a buttload on wheels helps. if new this setup would've been $860 and about $450-500 for the tires. Saving well over a grand helps for the next thing and that's coilovers.

Because it shows attention to detail. Its one of those indicators that tell how much a guy really knows about his car.

I agree to a point. but when you have to widebody fenders, and other shannigans to even tease your car into running the set of wheels..........

what does that say?

the 15x7 with -6 on my S look good and are mad cheap, so It didnt take much to talk me into it, but a even a 240z 14x6 with a +10 still look good to me so idk.....

[ca18detgabby]

btw, 300 bucks for a 5lug swap............. or





I got these for 250 shipped brand new off the shelf.

swapping to 5 lug, other than for BB purposes(and even then) seems like an extra unnessacary expense for vanity purposes.....

Ps if you choose to sell the TSWs, lmk I will take them off your hands for my g

[hbpignosePA]

well im sure most wont think those are baller enough

to the OP those look lame

18s are too big for a s13

i don't care about how flush it is or not; tiny profile tire is lame as hell

I agree with you, Gabby. I instantly lose respect for a car if it's running a widebody kit covering wheels/tires that I could have fit under stock fenders.

Function over form.

"Flush" is only nice to me if it's a show car. You can't be baller and be the best on the track.

not really diggin those steelies for my daily. so like $300 for a 5 lug swap, around $1100 for coilovers, and only $50 for wheels. Not only that, I'm buying another coupe for track purposes and i want a slick 240 for a DD/cruiser.

yeah i fought with that for a while. if i wanted a smooth slick ride, or a balls to the wall track car. so i'm getting another car, started working a buttload of hours to cover the car expenses

[JRPS13]

its weak

Race inspired TECHNOLOGOY? Wow. What an awesome company. If their wheels are as good as their ads, I'd be fearful for my life running those.

Precisely. I'm going 5 lug because there aren't many 4 lug wheels that fit my tastes and budget. It's all about aesthetics.

There's 2 forms of 'Flush', IMO. There's when the lip of the wheel is flush with your fenders, usually requiring stretched tires and low offset wheels. and then there's 'Tire Flush', when you've got meaty rubber fitting square or oversquare on wide wheels and the meaty tires run flush with the fenders. Most track cars that I see, go the 'Tire Flush' route. The wider track/contact patch is advantageous for handling.

I'm going for somewhere inbetween the two forms of flush...

I fought with the "Form vesus Function" debate for a while too. Then I realized that setting competitive track times is unrealistic for me in this stage in life. I'd rather have a car that is decent or okay at the track, but smokin hot on the street. I think it's good to be realistic and know your limitations.

Yeah... about as fearful as running Rota's I suppose. If the Mustang crowd beats on those wheels regularly, I wouldn't worry about anything that a 240 is gonna throw at them...

doesnt the mustang have to hold together long enough to actually thrash them to really be able to tell you anything?
