Wheel Fitment

[islandtuner242]

Ok I'm In The Process Of Ordering Some Rims (RPM 505) For My 1990 N/A Here Are The Sizes

Front:18x8 235/40/18
Rear:18x9 265/35/18
5x114.3/112/120
I Was Wondering If This Might Pose Any Fitment Problems Or Would It Be Ok?

Well the wheels should have a bolt pattern of 5x114.3... unless it is a multibolt pattern wheel. You have not listed the offset for the wheels, so we can't tell you much but everything else will work ok.

Offset: HPO/MED

[robomatic12]

:/ No idea what that means... im looking for a number. I just googled and got

"HPO = High positive offset
MED = Medium offset
"

So obviously a high positive is gross, for hondas and other fwd cars. Medium I have no idea what medium is but something like +35 would be good.

I would hope you're ordering WHEELS, not just RIMS.

Also, that site sounds pretty shady, if they're listing offsets as "high positive" and "medium".

Offsets are measured in millimeters, positive and negative, relative to the centerline of the wheel. It's a very precise measurement, and can't be summed up in "HP/MED".

Our cars like to sit in the +20 to +35 offset range, and for mild fitment with little fender work, more towards the +35 side. Check ffrpwner's sticky in Z32 General for a fitment guide.

I Didn't Know There Was A Different Between "Wheels" & "Rims" Or Was That Just Sarcasm

rim is just a section of a wheel, specifically the outer edge that meets the tire. the wheel is the whole assembly.

imo if people/mods are going to be anal about the wheel/rim grammar screw up, i vote that they consistently highlight all errors on the forum, not just that one.

I do whenever I catch it. That's just one of my biggest pet peeves, and it sticks out like a sore thumb to me. Another one is "engine" and "motor". One is and internal combustion powerplant, and one is electric. I'm not the only one who points that out, though.

If you see any irregularities in the way I conduct business around here, feel free to PM me. I'm not gonna ban you for calling me out in PM, and chances are, it's just something that I'm not noticing.
