since i have been a member for 2 years, and just now started useing this site i have to post here.
I would like some help choosing the right offset for the rims i want s13 20mm wider front 50mm rear. wheels (rear)18x9.5 12,30,38 offset, (front)18x8.5 25,30 offset. bolt pattern 5x114.3. Thanks for the help.

Are you talking about 20 & 50 mm overfenders?? You don't need overfenders for sizes like that. If you did put those on you'd have to put spacers on to make it flush and that's ghey. But anyway, I'd go with the +12 and +25. What wheels are they?

 

[Scoot]

For the Rear I would run the 9.5+30 but a 5mm Offset because they will come very close to your coilovers if you have any, you might be able to get away w/ the 30. But the rear will more then likely need either a fender pull or roll. the Fronts I would run 8.5+25, which will be perfectly flush with the fender and will clear with correct camber

yes 20 & 50mm fenders. i have JIC FLT-TAR 15 way adjs. also a peak performance suspension arm package. the wheels are JIC J-Force 07. the reason for have such on over fender is i want to make sure that my 428lbs tq gets to the ground, and that the front can handle the grip that i need. i will be running 245/45/18 in front and 275/40/18 in the rear. you got to love the sr23det that i have. i know you are saying they dont make a sr23, they do if you have a peak performance 2.3 stroker kit. i made the motor boost proof. i havent maxed the boost out yeat, but when you spend 10k on a motor and 2years building it you dont want to blow it right away. i do thank you guys for the info. oh sorry forgot to say it is a 96 RPS13.4

Well the recommendations I gave you were for the Stock fenders so....

 

[my240sux]

^Yeah. Airgne, you dont need over fenders for those sizes. It would look retarded.

 

[Airgne]

for what sizes would you need over fenders. so you guys think that tucking looks better than widebody?

 

[Radianation]

Why are spacers gay? =)

 

[Scoot]

well -20 from the Front offset to get it flush again with the new fender witdh so 8.5+5 and a 50 rear fender would net you 9.5-20 to stay flush, so I would think but seriously dude, you dont need over fenders for these sizes

i have 30mm rear fender would a 18x9 +20 offset work n the back

 

[Scoot]

yeah, but they'll be sunken like crazy, you'd need something like -8ish, to even come close to meeting the lip of the fender

 

[Doluck]

12 and 25

you sure about that?

 

[Radianation]

My 20mm spacers are here to fix a dodgy set of Gram Lights with terrible offsets. I should be at +15 / +18 so we'll see how those look soon.

 

[Scoot]

^Well no, considering I've seen 11-3's Stuffed under 50mm rear overs at -2.8*

so to even come close to that w/ a 9.5 you'd need like an -19 offset or lower

 

[Radianation]

I'm confused. Wouldn't that be +19 offset to be about flush on a 9.5?

 

[Scoot]

no
to get an 9.5" rim Close to or equal to an 11" Run with -3 offset, the 9.5" rim would need an offset of -19 to make of for rim width

 

[dezol1]

what if i use spacers in the back,cause the rims i want the lowest they go is a 20 offset so iam gonna try to fuck wit that

 

[Scoot]

any spacer bigger then 20mm IMO is just plain stupid, I suggest you get better sized rims

What brand/model are they?

 

[240SxRaCeR69]

well RedSVTFlareside has a widebody write up and his wheels are about as close as you can get to the rear overfenders and i believe they were 10.5 with a -7 or 0 offset. Not real sure on his fronts.
