Flush Fit Wheel Fitment, Offsets for Flush Fitment which is Proper Fitment Options

[mak5603]

10mm is a really good estimate, that would be my guess as well.

[Tigawoods]

my best guess is 10mm

Can someone confirm this?

Basically if you have had a set of wheels front and rears with different offsets and they both fit perfectly then I want to know the difference.
eg:
Front ET 25 and Rear ET 40 so difference it 15mm.

edit

First post just confirmed it.
at 6.5 wide,
front is 0
rear is 15

so difference is 15mm.

Now whats the best way to space the rears for 15mm? Use studed spacers? Then the nuts won't sit deep enough and will obstruct the alloy?
Hammer out the studs and use longer ones and have a 15 spacer? Can I do that without removing the hub?

You could use either bolt on spacers or the kind with extended studs. Replacing studs is a pain but you dont have to remove the hub. You can do bolt on. The stock studs may potrude a little bit, depending on the wheel, there is usually holes or spaces creating room for those protruding studs

nice!
5x114 conversion?

I have think about it , but I already got rotor hats for big brake kit in 5x100 . What I've done is a change for longer studs .... 12x1.25 ! I get also spacer for front and rear + camber bolts to see what I can do . 5x114.3 conversion would be awesome just for the wheels choice , price , desing .... Will need full custom to get what I want in 5x100 .

Gram light 57S Pro or G-Games?

G-games 77viao 19x9 rear and 19x8 front

I reinstall the hubs later this night to see the fitment .

Much better , but I will need tire stretch and more camber to get what I want .













Getting that kind of fitment on 19'' is really a challenge for me .

Hi Guys

Recently got some Volk C - Ultra wheels for my st202 1998, specs are as follows:

17x7
pcd: 5x100
offset: +48

Needing help with what size spacers I am needing to make the wheels sit flush with my guards, any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

To be flush flush, you will need a:
38mm Spacer in the front
56mm spacer in the rear

Not realllllly a reliable setup there, should have looked for a wider wheel and lower offset

[Tigawoods]

25mm spacers. You wont be flush but it will be good enough. dont go more than that

Thanks,

[JAYA]

So a wheel that is 17x7 with an offset of 35p, should be close to flush?

[Timmyface]

17x7 +10 Offset would be flush, and you'd still want an 18mm Spacer in the rear

But if you go +35 and add 25mm spacers all round, you will have the +10 up front, and be 18mm off in the rear.
Depends if you want FLUSH FLUSH. if not, the +35 with 20mm spacer in the front, 25mm spacer in the rear would be sweet

[JAYA]

Ok sweet, so lets say a 17x8 with an offset of 35p, what does that leave us with? Ideally looking for a wheel that will bring me flush with the guard without using a spacer if that's possible,

[JAYA]

Timmyface: your car is awesome, looking at getting my wheels pretty much just like yours re fitment and looks, what have you done to get them sitting like that?

[Timmyface]

Basically, if you look at the first post, you will see the guide there:

FRONT WHEELS
7.0" ---------- et+10mm
7.5" ---------- et+15mm
8.0" ---------- et+22mm
8.5" ---------- et+27mm
9.0" ---------- et+33mm

Etc.
Basically, you want wheels with that number as your offset. The rear wheels are average of 15mm more sunk in than the front.
You can either get Staggered wheels, or throw a 15mm spacer on the rear to even it out.

17x8 You want a +22 offset.. if not, Minus the offset you have, from this number, meaning you would need a 13mm Spacer.

Edit: I'm running 18x8 +30 Up front, and 18x9 +30 in the rear. I have added a 5mm spacer in the rear, but am looking to add roughly 8mm all round.

Thanks heaps, didn't quite get the first post at first, but now that you have explained it a bit I am starting to get it,

Cheers

[Timmyface]

don't worry man, took me quite a while to understand it too.
You also have to counter in your ride height, and tyres etc.
