You Think These Rims Would Be Good On Coupe?

[HumbleCali]

These for a WHITE altima coupe 2.5s: http://www.wheelstudio.com/view-wheel/r ... hicle-5103

Wasnt sure if you think the actual rims part, thats black, is to far inside the rims, like its not near the outside its in the middle. but yeah.


Thanks

With the proper offset they should work fine.

Yeah I'd go for the 30 offset so you don't have to get spacers. Mine are a 30 offset and it sits pretty flush

Sorry, No Idea what offset means even though I googled it, BUt I will tell my installers to do a 30 offset, Thanks!

If only it were that easy...

Oh I didnt even Know YOu could adjust the rrim bars within the rim towards the inner or outer, I thought they were set solid in place like welded together.

They are set in place but they can be set in place differently which is where offset comes into play.

Oh okay, So When I order them the manufacturer can add a 30MM offset to move the rim bars towards the outside of the rim, like towards the street where you would stand in front of them.

thanks

Wait, do you guys think a 38MM offset would be okay to? BEcause on the site that sells them, its $10 per wheel with a 30MM offset, but its the same price if I pick 38MM offset, for some reason.

Someone needs a crash course in wheel fitment!

When you pick the offset from the wheel manufacturer, it affects how in or out the face of the wheel ( this thing you're referring to: "think the actual rims part, thats black, is to far inside the rims, like its not near the outside its in the middle. but yeah" ) sits.

A 30 mm offset will make the face of the wheel sit closer to the hub mounting surface , and make the entire wheel sit further out towards the fender. A 38 mm will make the face of the wheel sit farther away from the hub mounting surface, meaning the wheel will be more "sunk" in to the wheel well.

Let's say you get a 38 mm wheel and think it looks too "sunk", you can buy a 10mm spacer which will push the wheel out 10mm, bringing you close to the original 30mm that you could have gone with.

The downside of using spacers vs picking the correct offset is that if you pick the correct offset you get more of a lip since there is an actual additional 8mm of material being used, while if you use a spacer the wheel will just be more flush to the fender without the additional lip.

Hi,

Okay THanks, wow, lots of info, but So what is it called then when you want the wheel to be pushed out more towards the outside lip? Becuase you said "30 mm offset will make the face of the wheel sit closer to the hub mounting surface " But then you said "A 38 mm will make the face of the wheel sit farther away from the hub mounting surface, meaning the wheel will be more "sunk" in to the wheel well." So like arent they both offsets, so why is one in the opposite direction? Sorry, im just confused, I just want the Wheel/Rim part to be closer to the outside lip so its not sunk in, So i just order a 30MM offset?

Heres the list of offset options: http://www.wheelstudio.com/view-wheel/r ... hicle-5103

Thanks

[DiamondWVU]

Yes. 30mm offset should be flush. if you get the 38 they will be 8mm sunkin in.

[HumbleCali]

Yes. 30mm offset should be flush. if you get the 38 they will be 8mm sunkin in.

They dont carry 30MM though, for 19x9.5 5x114.3 the most they have is 38. Thats what confuses me, 38, is only 8 more than 30, so why would it be sunkin in the opppsite direction, i would think it means 8MM for out towards the lip,

I understand your confusion. Imagine this is the wheel with a 38 mm offset: [ | ] The straight line is the face / black part of the wheel. In an extreme case of a low offset, the face of the wheel would sit very far towards the inside of the wheel like this: [| ] So instead of the face of the wheel connecting to your hub from the middle of the wheel, the face of the wheel is pushed in (not the whole wheel, just the face). The deeper the face of the wheel is, the more the wheel sticks out because the car is connected to the wheel at an earlier point. A 38 mm offset means the wheel connects to your car 38mm from the middle of the wheel. A 30mm offet means the wheel connects to your car 30 mm from the middle of the wheel. The closer your car connects to the middle of the wheel, the farther out your wheel will be.

If you don't want the actual face of the wheel to be sunk in then pick a higher offset. But this will cause the entire wheel to be more sunk into your fender, which is not good or bad. All about taste.

Hi,

Okay, Eh, So complicated, Im sure visually seeing it in person would make a lot more sense and easier to get, But I think I kinda get it. But so in the end, the 38MM would work then right? Cause thats a higher offset? They only have 20MM or 38MM.
