wheel offset, s13, msports 30mm overfender

[cheez80]

hey guys,

did a quick search and couldn't find anything.

i'm planning on going more hardcore on rims this time around, and i've been looking at msports 30mm overfenders front and rear.

i've been looking at volk GT-U in 18x9/18x10 and running something like a 235/255 series tire, but i'm not quite sure what offset would offer a good, flush fit.

any opinions?

post the available sizes and offsets please, we'll tell you which ones to get.

you should look at 10/11" wheels though. and since you are going widebody, you HAVE HAVE HAVE HAVE HAVE to get good sized wheels. you cannot look like a sunken battleship when it's all done.

i think the 9/10 come in something like +12/+12.

anyway, here's the sizing chart:http://rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bi...e=GTU

oh, and if i do run something like 10/11, what size of tire should i run? jeez, that's wide,

thanks guys!

drift or grip?

drift, 235/40 and 255/40 if they are 17's235/35? 255/35? for 18's? are those sizes made?

for grip... haha. talk to nismofreak or something, big big big tires. like 275 front 295 rear? bigger?

go with 18x10 front +12-17 depending on which face you wantrear, 18x11 +11

woohooo now we're talking.

what companies actually make tires that wide? (i am going to be doing more roadrace than drift, but i want to make sure nothing rubs) hoosier? kumho's victoracers? yoko advan a048?

see my sig pics?

that means i have no clue. talk to grant, alan, chet, or phil.edit: i assume you want to roadrace @ willow springs. the group I go with when I'm not being JDM TYTE DORIFTO is http://www.opentrackracing.com they generally drive on the big track and the group is pretty friendly. i don't know your skill level, but they will help you out if you're a noob.

i'm going with the digitalracer.com guys; my friend is a good buddy of the organizer of the event.

i'll check that out, though

THANKS =D

to add to this thread. I am doing 30mm as well. But i was looking at these 16x8 rims. They have a +30 offset. With 30mm spacers you think i would be safe?

For 30mm overfenders, I'd look into something about 9 inches wide and around a -10mm offset or so. You can maybe even go to a -15 if you stretch your tires.

I fit 17x9" +15s with 245/40-17's under the stock fenders with HEAVY rolling. 17x9 +20's would fit better, but might not have enough coilover clearance.
