wheel Offset Question for 240 hatch

[chuckyD1]

Hey , I'm looking to get a set of sport max. Xxr 962's I'm looking to get them in 17x9 with +35 offset on all 4. Just wanted to kno how that would work couse a friend said I might rub something with that wide wheels in the front. Any info would be great. Thanks !

[S14Juggalo]

Your golden they will fit just fine no rubbing! I got the same set up on my s14 for now.

[Kalypso]

dont buy +35.. get the lowest offset they make. i think +15 is the lowest.

( buy something more interesting if your budget allows, everyone has these wheels. )

[ectomorph]

My buddy has the same size on his 89 hatch and it rubs on his coilovers. he used 10mm spacers which made if fit a lot better and stopped the rubbing. i say go with other wheels, something with better offset and something that ISNT played out.

But 9inch +35 allows a 285 tire

yeah.... I suppose

mb battles are also nice.

[S13Teddy]

Well you need to be careful. Fitment is always more aggressive on a hatch, so it's more prone to rubbing.

[PyroTecK]

i wouldnt go more than a +25 in the front w/ a 9" wheel on an s13... i have +27 and had to clear the wheel from contacting the coilover w/ a 5mm spacer. effective +22 now.

XXR 962's suck balls.

17x9+15 on my coupe with no spacers and no rubbing

[gumby74]

17x9 with +17 offset up front barely clears Tein coilovers. Running 235/40 r17 tires. Absolutely no rubbing on anything and still have fender liners intact.

17x9 with +24 offset running 245/40 r17's. again no clearance issues.

Hope you have your fenders rolled. Be aware that you're either gonna have to run a bunch of camber or pull your fenders in the front too.

The rears will also have to be rolled, and depending on whether or not you like a bunch of camber, pulled too.

yea. I have 20 mm front vented fenders & 50 mm rear over fenders Ima be putting on after I get wheels

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Please don't do that.

They stick out, but not enough to require those kind of overfenders.

[chuckyD1]

Wel I alreadY got the fenders sooo it's not like I'm just gonna not put them on. Would be a waste of 500 plus I realy like over fenders sooo

[BrianHarte]

If you have those huge over fenders, you will need to space those wheels out a LOT.

OR, RUn some HUGE boy tires or something.I don't know.

Best of luck.

[chuckyD1]

Yeah. For the time I figure the xxr 962s are better then steelies

[KC240SR]

I hope you have coils or something, because a stock car at stock ride hight with over fenders and wheels that don't fill the overfenders=hardcore fail.

[chuckyD1]

Yeah I have coilovers n wicked tuning tie rids on the car now

[240lookis]

even with a 285 on the 17x9, you are going to have to use a 50mm spacer to fill in that rear overfender.

[chuckyD1]

Yea if u wanna see my hatch it's on myspace.com/chaalie85 it's the lime green 1. Gonna be painting it back to black soon as the fenders n wheels are on

[chuckyD1]

Yea from what I see they don't make spacer bigger then 25mm , is it possible to add 2 25mm spacers onto 1 hub. That seems like a little too much tho

[gnvarnadore]

idk, still searching for 50mm hub centric spacers, i know you can find them for 5 lug but dont know about 4 lug

Good luck ruining your whole wheel bearing system if you try putting 500mm spacers on it.

25 will probably be enough for you. Just don't run any camber.

[Shabbernigdo]

i have 17 x 9 +20 all arround on my 91 s13 and no rubbing issues with stock suspension.

[chuckyD1]

this thread got unusually long...

hahaha , yeah it did get alot longer then i thought it would have .. im actuly thinking of running 25mm rear n 20mm front

[sil8tdrftr]

these are 50mm and the ones with black squares are 40mm and theyre 4 lug.. so they do make them
