wheel offset

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Tue May 20, 2003 10:52 am

would anyone happen to know the offset or lug patter on the o2 altima (2.5s) wheels, i am looking into buying NIPPON HYPERSPEED 6 wheels for my car, ive never heard of htem so i dunno, but the guy wants $475 for em, plus shipping, and they're 18s, the lug patter is 5x114.3, 45 offset, and weigh about 22lbs, only one has been mounted to check fitting, the rest are still in unopened box, watcha think???, how much of an offset should i go with?? (and of course, my dumbass doesnt even know the dam lug pattern of my car

5x114.3mm is the right bolt pattern +45mm is the right offset for a 7.5" wide wheel.

thanks magnum, i dont know too much about wheel sizes and offsets and such, thanks for your help, but if i go with a wheel that is 8in wide (doubtful, but i dont know yet) then what offset would i need 4o??

Offsets are my weakest area. I used to know but now I dont remember anything.

18x8" +45mm would work too.

thanks, thats all i need, where did u learn the offset stuff from, is there an issue of a mag or a book i can pick up, or just from experience??

reading and the calculations are easy. for a 8" wheel: 8x25.4 to change to mm 203.2 divide by 2 and add the offset of 45mm and you get 146.6mm (5.77") of the wheels width behind the surface of the hub and 56.6mm (2.23") infront of the hub. or you could go to http://www.discounttiredirect.com and see what they use for offsets.
