What would the offset have to be on a set of rims for them to fit my car like these 3 cars?





After seeing my boy's VW on some concave BMW CSL's and then finding out Hondas can do it too, i've been interested in what the measurements should be to fit a nice set of these on my baby. Anyone have some insight?

id guess something around 8. as far as offset i would guess as low as maybe 15 but thats with tons of camber. thats a rough guess

fuck that teg looks nice.

yeah i was wondering about this as well.

only way you're gonna get concave like that is running 9" up front and 9.5" rear with mid 30's offset

i personally think it'd look like ass on our cars though....unless it had the beastly murder track theme like what's his face on here with the flat black paint

ethenol

Yup that prelude looks like hell. Gotta go pretty tracky

That Teg and RX-8 are hawt!

if you get new rims I'll hop on your rotas

^ Word. You need a 9+" wide rim with an aggressive offset.

After looking at that teg, it doesn't look like it has a low offset. But my comp at work sucks, so the tire blends in with the street. So I can't calculate roughly what offset it has or how wide that rim is.

I'm sure there might be some concave rims out there for fwd platforms.

But in general for rwd platforms, it's about a 9+ width with a low offset.

lol matt already asked me for them. But i'll keep that in mind.

I was looking at the Volk te37's, because thats the rim one of those reminded me of. And they show the rims as low as a 7" width, I just dont know if it concaves drastically at that width.

For instance, my Emotions can come concave, but they would have to be 9+", and I think the 25+ offset would have worked. But they don't show you pictures of the same rim with it concaving.

I'll try to find out how small you can go and still have that look you want.

Here's an example. Higher offset in the front, lower in the rear. (you can also argue about it's width, but the offset also plays a big role)

I don't think that it would look bad on our cars at all. And i actually like the way that prelude looks, thus the reason why i asked. I guess it's all personal preference.

As for measurements, i was thinking it would be about 8 or 8.5" with like a +32 offset by looking at that teg, they're not that wide. The thing i'm worried about is finding a set with the correct offset and width that will have a 4x114.3 pattern. Stupid Rare bolt pattern.

Seems like in this thread they seem to say the same stuff I did.

I was looking at the te37's too, but i'm not limiting myself to that one rim, just that style. Thanks for your help Chris, i really appreciate it! If i had to go w/different offsets in the front and rear i wouldn't mind, although i was hoping to keep them equal so i could rotate the tires when i needed to.

Your best bet is to look at 240sx rims. The earlier years (s13) had a 4x114.3 bolt pattern.

I only know a bit about this, because I was trying to do the same thing a year or two ago. What you can do is buy a staggered setup for a 240sx, but ask them to ship you 2 sets of the rear. Unfortunately I could only find 9" rims that came concave at the time, in which was too wide for my preference (I knew I wouldnt be able to fit a 255 tire and stretching tires and tracking the car don't go hand in hand)

DaInFaMMuS1

yeah i'm not looking to stretch the tires or go ridiculously concave like that prelude i posted earlier, just something that would look nice in that style and also be functional like that teg which actually sees track time

That Prelude looks nice! I like this style! Pretty unique, I've never seen it before.
BTW, wheels with low offsets in the rear and higher offset up front is just hawt. My bro had that setup on his Supra and that thing was just gorgeous.

i think the integra has the "offroad" rota grids. I checked the rota site and i think they are 16x8 +10 offset. Those are the only ones offered in 4x100. They are offered in 4x114 too

I've always loved this style rim, I would love to see someone pull it off

f22vtec

yea man just let me kno. i think we might party a bit in my town if u wanna come i invited matt too

DaInFaMMuS1

I dont want Rota's, i want to upgrade to an official set of rims. everything else i'm adding to the car will be a legit upgrade, so the rims i choose should be too.

DaInFaMMuS1

front of that teg btw

AznX TL

arent the ones on the teg the rotas i posted?
btw look at the Rays Gram Light wheels, they have a pretty good selection of concave track wheels.

DaInFaMMuS1

yes sir you're right, they seem to be

the teg is sexy, my buddy's got one that is near completion. im gonna show him those pics. hes gonna be runnin it on the strip, boosted 20-25 psi, roll cage, the whole 9. only thing stock internally is the crank, gonna be a bad bish. big $$$ in it.

edit... not meaning to get off topic lol i think with the right wheels the cl's could pull it off and would look good as hell.

I had a question about this too and I know that no one has posted on this for a while but I didn't wanna open up a new thread since this one isn't that old.

I been trying to find a rim that would have that concave look as well as fit the rare bolt pattern that was used on our cars.

I was looking at the Rota Grid but apparently Rota stopped production on it since Konig came the wheel at the link listed below and it no longer available for order.The wheel that Konig came out with that replaced The Grid is The Konig Countersteer R which is 16x7 with a 25 mm offset and comes in either a 4x114.3 or 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

Now I'm sure the look of that rim is gonna be fine as far as giving me the concave style that I am hoping for. I'm just not sure if its gonna look big enough on a CL since it only comes 16x7. What do you guys think?

damn ive seen that teg 100x online before and never noticed the battery terminals coming through the rear bumper.

i like that, might be an idea ill have to steal when i eventually relocate my battery to the trunk.

DaInFaMMuS1

wow i like those konig countersteers, they look very similar to teh wheels on the teg.

and yes matt, i am lurking on there
