Another wheel thread.

btw...

if you decide on true forged wheels... let me know. i know the owner.

And mention your on SVTperformance.com Since he is a sponsor!

ya i like them, just need to space the rear out a bit more and lower it more.

Throw a space in back and call it a day...I think a lot of people run around 1". Like was stated earlier, just measure to make sure. I think the wheels you have look good on it.

if he really wanted to make the car look better, he'd put a replacement driver in it.

hush!

Now im just wondering, cant i just measure from the outside sidewall to the fender?

are you asking me? because i know as much about backspacing as you do about pleasuring a woman. i.e. you better ask someone else.

Instead of all the guessing about wheel fitment, why not pull of the current wheel and measure the backspace and offset.......and for that matter the wheel width.

Then you will have some good info to know what to do.

how so i measure back spacing/offset? and for the width just measure the lip to lip?

i actually have spacers around here somewhere. i think they are 20/25mm. maybe they're 15/20. hmm.

To measure back spacing, pull the wheel off. place a straight edge on the back of the rim, NOT the tire. Then measure from the mounting surface to the bottom of the straight edge. Bam, there is your back spacing.

That's probably all he needs, the wheels arent that far in board.

Lay a straight edge across the wheel lip (not the tire) on the inside of the wheel. Then using a tape measure measure down to the mouting surface of the wheel = backspace.

Wheel width is from inside lip to inside lip.....basically the width the tire can fit down into. With a little intuition you could figure it out even with the tire on the wheel. I am going to assume you have 18x9 or 18x10. So if you measure the wheel and it is 10.4 then I would assume a 10" wheel etc.

whats that in inches?

 

[lucky7]

fuck if i know, i drive a nissan. :lol:

 

[jtcstrat]

rofl!

Im gonna go check now.

 

[Detroit Style Dragger]

The size of your junk.

But, you want a S95 so we like you.:grouphug:

The wheels and tires on your car right now are badass! I would not even think of removing them. If you think they sit inward too far, get a spacer behind them. My Dad just looked over my shoulder and even said they look sweet.

 

[jtcstrat]

ok, from outside lip to outside lip is 11" and from hub to inside lip its 7"

So it's an 18X10 with 7" BS. Now go get a spacer as thick as you want to move the wheels out. You will also likely need new studs to run the spacers.
