Guest Rsand85 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Ok i know this has been covered a million times but i cant seem to get my head round it and cant seem to find the exact answers im looking for so here goes.i will give as much info as i can and im sere there will be a few on here that can help. currently running 19"rims 9.5 et50 rears 8.5et45 fronts just fitted veilside arches looking at needing a 20mm spacer front and a 80mm spacer rear.Now as i dont want my car to resemble a hot wheels car that somebody has stood on or having to change wheel bearings daily im not got going down the spacer route.Im looking at a set of new wheels instead 9j front and 10.5j rears my question is what offsets would be good?thanks in advance for any help.

Jamesy Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) To give you an idea mate my setup is: 9.5j et25 fronts 11j et24 rears Edit: They stick out around 15mm past the arches so prob be perfect for you if 20mm wider arches For the fronts My rears are 20mm wider than the body so If you want them to stick out 80mm you could get away with and nice 12-13j wheel to get same results Edited November 13, 2011 by Jamesy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) Use the offset calculator. http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp If your rear wheels are 9.5" et+50 and you want them to stick out 80mm further you will want something like 12" et+2, Rota do a wheel called the GTR-D that comes in 12" et0 Edited November 13, 2011 by JamieP (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry that was a miss button, my workings are correct though, 9.5 et50 coming out 80mm further = 12" et2, rota GTR-D 12" et0 is an on the shelf wheel.

JamieP Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Yeah gotcha. Lovely wheel too that 12j GTR-D Nice edit above change you mind on suggesting 10.5 et20's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Lol yeah 1st time i read it i saw 20mm spacer rear!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rsand85 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 so you recon i should go 9.5 fronts in closer to a 12j rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Yes mate. Have a play with that link Jamie posted ive spent hours on there before. You will get the exact widths you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 so you recon i should go 9.5 fronts in closer to a 12j rear? Its just an on the shelf wheel thats not expensive and that fits your needs to stick out 80mm further, if you want 10.5 go with a et-17 but that will be custom built and pricey id imagine.

SupraDan24 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Whats the optimum for stock archers? I'm running 18x9J offset +45 Front & 18x10 J, offset +48 on the rear at the moment. I'm thinking of getting some new wheels after winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 You could run the same widths mate but with a 35 offset front and rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rsand85 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Ok so just to be a pain and double check before i order these.Checked on the car tonight by measuring from the brake disk outer face to the most outer point of the arch got 100mm front and 160mm rear does this sound ok for the offsets you worked out?cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
