The Great Wheels vs. Offset vs. Fender alignment thread - Page 2

MrPeacock72 · 12-29-07, 05:21 PM

I have 18" ADR Battle Axe wheels on my 91 sedan, they are 7.5 inches wide, with +43 offset, and they are flush with my fenders. I get minimal rub on my driver rear tire while hard cornering or excessive weight in the backseat. But that's due to worn shocks and springs.

I'm running with Nexen 225/40/18 tires, but will soon be upgrading to Yokahama 215/40/18 tires.

not going to fit... even with the skinniest tires you will still rub

My apologies for a noob question...

but I'd appreciate all your experience and expertise for my recently acquired bone stock 94 coupe.

I will be installing Koni Sport kit (struts & springs) soon and wonder if the following wheel and tire combo will be a good fit.

Vehicle: 94 Coupe L
Suspension: Koni Sport Kit

??? Wheels TBD: ???
MOMO Corse Rev (see pix)
17 x 7 --- w/ 45 offset
215/50/17 tires

I'm an old fart and this will be my daily driver and would like to keep it as close to sporty & luxury if and all possible. So what do you think? Will I have any problems with wheel rub in or out? Too odd or gaudy? Your opinion is much appreciated...

to find the offset, turn to the back of the wheel, 85% of the time it's stamped xxET (i.e: 45ET)

I'm currently running 17x8 all around with 215/45/17. +45 offset. No rubbing even lowered. Fitment is almost flush all around. Front is flush, rear is just a couple mm off from completely flush.
