So I got 35 mm offset on my rims right now on stock suspension and still needed to roll my fenders in the rear to maker sure they didn't rub. And now I decided I want K sport coilovers and do not wanna run negative camber.

So my question is:

what offset are you lowered guys running?


Cause I see a lot of 45mm offset rims I want but dunno if I can/should get.

I need your advice guys. help me out here

i know they are nothing special. but i'm not a believer in spending $ on rims when they'll get scratched eventually and u'll be even more pissed.

but will those (per se) fit with my car lowered maybe 2 inches?

 

remember the rim width is a factor too. i'm running 19x8 +51 offset rims. I can just tuck in the rear with a heavy trunk. I know someone in the GTA with 05 TL rims (17x8 +45) and he had to roll his fenders. Don't get those rims above, they will kill your cars looks. I don't understand why you wouldn't want nice rims. They make or brake the car IMO.

 

Well I want to get ronjohn's these:

but that's like 1600 for rims. it's hard to justify.

I already have rolled rear fenders so I guess 45mm offset is doable ay? if the rim is 7.5 or less

i like the TL Aspec rims tho also

 

I would say try to find something 8 inches wide and offset of 45 or higher. You could probably get away with a 40 offset maybe.

 

noo.. after seeing mine with 35 I am looking for 45 or MORE period. lol

8 inch rims would be sexy tho i completely agree

 

who is running the 18inch type S acura TL rims on their CL???

I'm curious how that'd look

anyone got any pictures?

 

My 18x8 48mm RJs didnt rub. My 19x8.5 40mm RJs rub occasionally on the rear bumper tab. New set is 18x8.5 43mm, havent put them on yet though.

 

My rims are a 45 offset...i only rub when i have some people back there

 

You can use http://www.1010tires.com to compare fitments. They have a calculator on the site. I have 18x8.5 wheels 52mm offset waiting to test fit them still. I used the calculator on that site punched in the stock wheel size and my new wheels and found out they will be 16mm less inner clearance and will stick out 22mm more from the outside.

 

Those RonJon's don't suit a CL IMO.
the A-spec rims look very nice i think. there are pics if you search.

 

those rims are pricey though. and they're 45mm offset right?

 

Buy these: https://acurazine.com/forums/car-parts-sale-361/painted-aspec-18x8-wheels-%24600-obo-767353/

18x8 +45 Aspecs. I had my rims shipped from Cali.

 

i want the other style ones...

would these fit the car bay any chance?
http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...AdIdZ185768958

 

the sti rims are 18x8.5 with 55mm offset.

will that work?

 

it should wont know for sure till you test fit tho. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mitsu...Q5fAccessories these wheels from the evo 9 would be sexy on a cl good price too. Offset is a little low tho.

 

I have the had following:

18x7 +42
19x8.5 +45
19x8 +45

All of them fit fine with no significant rubbing, and I am lowered on H&R sports (~ 1.5" drop, or so)

 

Forgot to add that I have rolled my rear fenders. I havent touched the fronts.

 

I don't think 1600 for rims is hard to justify, its the most noticable thing on the car and considering rims can cost up to 10 000 or more its not much IMO

 

well they get scratched in the end... like nice shoes..

and I hate imperfections. so that's why i see it hard to spend so much on something that will almost for sure get screwed up

 

OK i am starting to fall in love with these.

you should ask the Azine guys with the aggressive wheel fitment... they know what they're doing in the wheel section... i was going to make a thread like this but you beat me to it...

i also wanna know what is the lowest offset. widest rim size that i can fit without running camber....

 

yes rims get scraches, but usually nothing major. I'm a big fan of mesh style rims on the CL, but that's just me. Just take your time, and get something nice.

I almost bought these before i found mine: http://www.carkraze.ca/product_info....roducts_id=258

 

There are always people asking questions like this. Thing is there isn't really a number where if you go over it, you'll need to run neg. camber.

 

well i've fallen in love with the KONIG rims I posted up in my last post.

TIME TO SELL MY OTHER RIMS. any GTA members need 35mm offset. lemme know

 

so for the 18's your paying 1000 for the set, then after rubber balance and getting them put on you've probably spent over 1600

pretty easy to justify eh?

 

I kinda agree on what you say about wheels. I didnt wanna spend that much also cause wheels get damaged faster than most parts on a car and i am a perfectionist also. My stock wheels have damage but it dsnt bother me cause I dont care, but if i spent 2k or more on wheels any damage would drive me crazy and id be too worried when driving of hitting potholes etc. I wanted a summer set tho and at first was looking at ronjon's on sale for 500 a set or the enkei alot of ppl have that are 700. After looking on tirerack i got the last set of SSR wheels they had on clearance for 46% off. I ended up paying a little under 300 each for rims that retail for 500-600 each so im happy.

 

yea rims are 1000 so then tires will bring it to 1800prolly... knowing ME... how i like my new tires.

DAMN I want those rims .

I just sold my winter set that I bought in october!!! for 320! lol

bought them for 500 then got a leak in one tire... decided fuck it.

and now my current set of wheels are for SALE.

took 3 hrs to sell my Fast rims/tires on Kijiji.ca amazing!

 

are nankang tires crap or what???

and can i run a 40 profile or will that throw off the speedo? what is the most accurate

 

these arent the lowest offset nor the widest wheels but its going to be hard to beat 8.5 with 38 offset with Zero camber. thats what im currently riding, on coilovers set as low as possible without running neg camber. i think wheels with zero, maybe 1-1.5 neg looks the best, some of these cars with crazy camber just to get the wheels to fit i think looks ridiculous...unless of course its bagged

i cant have anyone in my backseats though or else id rub bad. i havent even tried it, and ill rub with someone heavy in the front seat. ive contemplated running a little neg camber but at the same time IMO perfect offset in relationship to the fender with zero camber kills a similar setup with noticible neg camber

 

Dont know much about Nankang, but typically you get what you pay for.

Aspect ratio isnt the only factor that matters for the speedo, overall diameter is. Stock OD is 25.5", so try to stick close to that.

 

right so I need 225/40/r18 tires correct???

I got my rear fenders rolled so i don't have to worry about rubbing anymore.... that's WHY i am getting new wheels cause I cannot STAND rubbing. I feel like a charity case

 

K so I'm getting the

KONIG Zero-In rims with 225/40/r18 tires and I'm getting it for 1500 FLAT all IN.

 

what offset are they?

 

45

should tuck in there quite nicely

 

18x8 48mm 235-40-18 I wouldn't run anything but that, But that's me. I ran this on 2 CL's & never rubbed once with a full trunk gas tank & people load.

 

225/40/18 is a little shorter than stock, so your speedo will read a bit fast. 235/40/18 is closer to stock diameter, but would be more likely to rub if its close already.

 

width of the tire has nothing to do with the speedo... 225 or 235 will not effect the speedo reading.


you meant to go 45 on the profile... instead of 40. (this changes the diameter/overall sie of the wheel and that changes the speedo)


40 profile is only 1.3% smaller than stock diameter so it's all good.

I'd rather have a fast speed than a SLOW speedo... less likely to speeed

 

man I could barely get to sleep last night I am so excited to get these... they BETTER be at the store ready for P/U lol.

 

post 38# yea that's wrong my bad joe
