wheel offset help

[cave]

just need a little opinion with what offset to choose

 

i am about to order rear wheels from diamond racing in 13X8 and i have no clue on what offset to get im looking to run 165 65 r 13 on the rears and i want fitment like in the pic

any idea on what offset i would need to get this result out of a 710

What front suspension are you running???? ,..... .. a 13x7 or 13x6 in the front would look alot better

 

 

a 13x8 +15 would be good for the rears .... . .. but in the front you would need 1-inch spacers,,,, and the wheels would be sticking out 2 inches past the fender

 

 

 

Do you really like the look of 13s????? ........ .. here is a 13x7 +10 in the front of my 710 with stock 710 struts:

 

 

 

 

I strongly incourage you to re-consider 13" wheels .... . .. 14, 15, or 16s would look MUCH better .... . . . and if you ever want bigger front brakes 13s will not fit

here is a 16x7 +22 front wheel .... .. . . .and 16x8 +12 rear wheel ....... . .. 195/40-and-215/40/16 tires

 

 

 

That is basically on the bump-stops ... .. . :D ........ . . .with a few hundred pounds of concrete ........ :lol:

 

Still not low enough in my opinion.... .. . . but what are your plans for lowering the rear suspension????

 

What about the front suspension???

16s are a bit too big ....... . . . I love the look of 15s on Jassifrass's goon: .. .. . either 15x6 or 15x7.... not shure of the offset.... probably +20 or higher

What's the size and offset of your current wheel?

[ggzilla]

I'm thinking 8" with -30 offset.

 

stretch is the way to go

16" or larger is the only way to go

 

These 13" will only look that good with the 710 lowered about 4 or 5 inch:

17" would probably have the same look with only a 2" lowering

alright took the measurements and looks like i have 6 inches of backspacing and 6 inches from the mounting surface of the hub to the fender on the back so i think a 13X8 with two inch backspacing would fit provided i can get a tire about 165 65 r 13 stretched onto it . plus im not really into big 16 inch rims on classic jap cars more old school wheels . what do you guys think ??

oh and for suspension just lowering blocks and custom u bolts with hts rears out of an AE86 and ae68 rear sway bar

 

forgot to mention this is just for the rear i will figure out the front when i get done with the rear

if you run rims larger than 15's i will fly down to mexico city and stab you.

thirteens will look fine, but like GGzilla said, go with negative offset
