I was wondering about the offset of the katana c5...I called up the factory and found out that its a 42 offset on 18x7.5...now my question is will that rub...ive heard not to go below 45..cuz i have h&r sport springs 1.75 front, 1.5 rear...please help!!!

 

will depend some on your tires, but, if its only a 42 offset...good chance you will rub. Go to this link and use the calculator and it will tell you how much your wheel offset will change dimensions. Im investigating 18"/7.5 wheels with 235/40 tires and wouldnt consider the combination with anything less than a 48mm offset wheel. 50mm would be even better.

I Have H&R Sport springs, with 225/40/18's 18x7.5 wheels. It was rubbing. Get at least 48+ offset rims with this set up.

 

thanks...can you reccommend any wheels with at least a 48 offset in 18x7.5?

 

Well I have 18x8's with a +43 offset with coilovers and they dont rub. It is very close to the fender lip though and has the tiniest bit of clearance. I did have to cut the little bumper tabs though. Not a big issue

 

cutting it kinda close with a 42 offset, depends on your tires, but i think it'll be alright with a 42 on a 7.5" width

 

That must be very very close! Your tires must not have rim protection.

 

You guys are forgetting something very important... its not so much the rim and offset, but the TIRES you put on those rims and how much your car is DROPPED.

I have a +48 offset with a 17x7.5" rim with 225/45 tires on an Eibach Pro-Kit drop. I have rubbed a small number of times on the driver side rear tire sidewall when I had friends riding in the back and I made turns into parking lots where it dips down as you are turning. Another friend of mine has the exact same rims and springs as I have, but with 215/50 tires and has never rubbed.

My tire has only rubbed at the sidewall on the fender lip. Evidently my passenger side rear tire has a smidge more negative camber so it doesn't rub at all.

Hope this helps

 

Vision...what's the offset and width of your wheels... I want to get the LGM's..

thx
