5speedz34 Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 Hey guys! I am getting new wheels since the Konigs are gone, and I need to know how these would fit. I still am having a hard time understanding offset. The wheels are 18x7.5" with a +45 offset. Also take into consideration that I do not have the B4U fender flares like the GP's. Thank you in advance because I cannot post. Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 With a +45mm offset, it means that its going to be sticking into the car more than stock. Having a width of 7.5" I would be concerned about it rubbing. Mine are +42mm offset and 7" wide and the rears are close to the trailing arms. I think you may have a problem here. You may even have a problem with the front rubbing on corners, but well wait and see what others have to say. Quote
blackbombshell95 Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 I would say no. It might rub. You have to understand what your STOCK offset is. +25 (millimeters) (for the grand prixs) If the wheel offset is +45mm OFFSET then it is going to stick in 20mm. Plus the rim is .5" wider than the stock rim. Which would make 1/4 of an inch also inwards. Which 1" = 25.4mm so it would an extra +6mm. So that would be roughly be +51 offset. That rim could rub. What is the bolt pattern? 5 x 115 or 5 x 114.3? I would get a 1" wheel adapter or 1.3" adapter. Quote

Euro Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 ahh....i see............. /hijack Quote
dohc v6 Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 FUCK THAT, I have 17 by 8 racing harts on my 94z and I have no problem with rubbing. Also my offset is 45mm and yes I did have to by a 3mm spacer. In the long run they work and look awsome. So yes those will fit just rememeber that wheels are different. My racing harts fit fine and hit nothing it was the caliper that it was hitting so make sure you get a wheel where the spokes actual go out a little. As far as wheel choice, well thats personal preference just remember cast wheels suck. Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 Well with the right size spacer and wheel studs, you can make any wheel fit... Quote
