Okay guys I have found some wheels that I really love but I am unsure if they will fit or not on a six speed. Thay are gram light 57f bronze 18x8.5 with a offset of 45. Now to be honest I am clueless when it comes to offsets on wheels. Does anyone know if these will fit.

 

I think you're gonna need a 35mm offset... cause of that little lip on the wheel..

Good Luck... best thing to do is TEST FIT..

 

Can someone tell me what the offset number refers to?

 

"The offset of a wheel is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the true centerline of the rim. A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned in front of the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This in effect brings the tire in to the fender well more. Conversely, a negative offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is behind the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This will cause the tire to stick out away from the vehicle."

those wheels fit perfect...

on an 8.5 wheel you want to stay in between +35 and 45
with an 8 wheel you want to stay in between +32 and +45

 

Thank you. I assume that measurement is in millimeters?

 

Yup they're in millimeters

 

So they will fit? How do you guys think they will look on my wdp? I know they are only 18s but I am just as conserned about performance as I am looks and these are about 16 pounds. I am also dropped about two inches on teins.

 

ok im the same way when it comes to offsets and ive been searching threads for the past few days tryin to find an answer to my question. i just want to know will and 18x9 with a +38mm offset fit under an 04 TL with no mods to suspension?

 

yes

 

So I guess no one has an idea on how these would look on my wdp. I would try to post a picture but I am a computer idiot

 

Those measurements will clear brembos?

 

Does any one know anything about taking apart headlights to paint the markers? I know they are sealed any ideas on taking them apart?

 

nope you know the brembo brakes are an entirely different beast

 

"Search" my friend

 

Brembo fitments depend on the style of the wheel. Some may, some may not with those stated offsets.

 

Rodney - I think you got it backwards. The further in the offset, the larger the lip can be and still remain tucked under the wheel well. +45's are further in. The +35's would be further out. Further out/away yeilds less room for any "lip".
