widebody hatch, need help on wheel fitment{56k watch out}

[WideBodyCharlie]

hey guys you've probelly seen my car before{i whore it out lately} so i am probelly going to keep it now. 30mm front and 50mm rear overfenders. so i always said that i'll be getting some staggered wheels that fill the fenders soon. well that has turned into like 2 years and i am not going to be able to for a while. so i have multiple sets of rims and i need some help from you guys to try and make them fit. first off the rims in the pics. 18x8 with a unknown{but fwd} offset. looks like crapbut i want to runs these rims{which i own, in silver not gold} datsun snowflake's 15x6.5 with a o offset. what kind of spacers would i need to get these flush?or as flush as possible.and would i have more luck with spacers if i used the racing harts from the picture. i figure the datsun wheels are at least set up for a rwd car, if that makes any difference.

and a ref. pic of the snowflake, i have completly restored the rims, car is rusty as ever! {anybody want it? cheeeeeeap!}

heres a pic with stockers on{how i run for tha last year}

thanks guys, i am going to put my money into the motor instead of looks for now. but i could get some spacers or whatever to try a salvage a decent look out of my widebody. money ran out last year if you know what i mean.

u could try to use a 2inch bolt on spacer but im not sure if that will be enough.. It sounds crazy^ I know but it might not even be enough.. I run a 1.5 inch spacer on a 9.5 rim that had a a 20mm offset which brings me out to +14 or some **** like that and its just out side of my fender with a good roll and a little camber Im cool.. U on the other hand have a 50mm fender to fill.

[nismofly]

needs different wheels

those wheels would fit no problem with stock fenders, which defeats the purpose of the overs...plus 15s with overs doesnt look good at all

and btw there isnt a spacer big enough to make those fit

[turbo2nr]

dont do it you need 18x9 0 and 18x10+12 to be close to flush...

15x6 no way in hell

[adrianfromthecastle]

I was under the impression that over fenders were there to accomodate low offsetted wide asss mutha farken wheels... not the other way around...

anyways, I look at it this way... overfenders + 15's (esp. 6.5)___________________= Fail

you better search for some bigger wider wheels, none of that 18x7 sh*t either... they better be some 18x12 stuff yo... otherwise to rock the 15's, you gotta take off the over fenders

[WideBodyCharlie]

well wide *** wheels where my intentions from the beginning, but i ran out of cash like i said. i was just trying to achieve a temporary look for a while till i get back on track and can drop thoudands of $$$ on rims. and a close to flush look is better than nothing. i was just throwin things around. seems like i could salvage something from my 18x8 in the meantime.

Rock the steelies..sell those extra rims, save up for some better fitting rims neg. offset in rear if true 50mm overfenders. I would look into 5lug swap as well..offers soo many wheel choices choices. Save up after your motor is done your going to need it. Do things once the right way.

[ddgsxr504]

It's hard to find 18's with high widths and low offsets for a good price. I would say get some Works or Advans or the like.

Front - 17x9's with a -10 or less offset Rear - 17x10's with a -12 or less offset

You can also go 10/12 with 0/10 offsets.

Those wheels you want to use are kind of ugly. Just my honest opinion.

wtf, how does 1.5 inches equal 6mm, if youre running a 1.5 inch spacer on a 9.5 +20, you new offset should be like around -18

charlie...save up for good wheels are get rid of the overfenders

[adrianfromthecastle]

dude Charlie... get some Works... their recent line has a lot of dope asss wheels for really decent prices. Look for like s14 offsets

[ddgsxr504]

FYI to everyone reading.... 1 inch = 25.4 milimeters

1 milimeter = .0393700787 inches

1.5 inch spacer = 38.09 mm

Werd.... no offense but either get wheels that fit correctly are ditch the widebody. I hate people who spend all there money trying to widebody the car and then put ****ty offset wheels and tires on it.

Don't even get my f*ckin started on wheel spacers.

The whole purpose of getting a WB kit is to fit fatter wheels with baller lips ect. Not to use 2 inch spacers to push there current pizza cutter wheels outward to sit flush with the body.

[nismofly]

fit the fenders to the wheels, not the wheels to the fenders

[Repo Man]

Calm down girls.

[eds13]

heres what you need....

work equip 01 (5x114.3) 18x11.5 -21..18x10.0 -6 offset

not too expensive either. $2100 in socal, they are on Z ilvia

[nismofly]

217 you start **** like that again and youre going to be going on vacation

[daytona drifter]

lolz, thats funny

[217zenki]

vaction... For defending myself from a ******* over a simple typo error on my behalf... wtf ever so be it..

[WideBodyCharlie]

those wheels look bad-***. i guess when you sit around staring at your car in the driveway you start getting crazy ideas. i just have so many sets of rims at the house and thought i could salvage a look out of them. so i am going to continue with my project and eventaully get some wheels for it. i mean i only drive the car around block. i don't take it to events or even have a bunch of friends that drive nice cars. my friends could care less about cars, wheels offsets and whatnot. so it's not really a big deal.

[URAS]

you should be able to fit something decent i ran 12" on the back of mine with the 50mm overs and 10" on the front with 20mm wider front gaurds.

i would post pics but i aint paying to host them so i can email anyone intersted with plenty of pics of mine and my customers cars... all wide body and all minimum of 10" on the rear and 9 on the front.

i even had 12" front and 13" rear at one stage!! :P

[WideBodyCharlie]

send them to me. i can [email protected] am a little confused on what you mean. 10" of spacer? maybe pics will help

[hannibal]

I think he means minimum of 10" wide wheels...

[QuickerThanU]

[tamdo714]

Panasport 16X12 -65 offset

[QuickerThanU]

wtf? that **** would stick out even past the 50mm rear fenders would they not, lol. Thats a hellava offset....

[MagikDragon]
