wheels: 19inch works rezax

front: 19 x 9 et+26 with 20mm ultralite spacers



rears: 19 x 10 et+26 with 5mm slip on spacers



offsetrs are very weak i know

plans are to bin the tires for much smaller ones to run stretch, flare front arches a bit and try fit more slip on spacers all round if possible, skyline arches are fairly small i was told so can only work with wat i can

Lookin for abit of advice here lads??!

ordering new wheels for the cam next week and want to know what offsets would be best? i had 14inch 8.5 -12 meshes with 25mm spacers on the rear

i've been advised 9.0 x 15 -15 for the front but wondering what offset for the rear i'm going 9.5 x 15 i think? thinkin -19 but opinions welcome as i know fuck all!!

using the figures you've given me,
an 8.5 wheel with et -12 and a 25mm spacer to start with (et-37),
and swapping to
a 9.5 et -19 wheel WITH the 25mm spacer (et-44) will leave you with
6mm LESS space between the wheel and the suspension,
and will bring the outer edge OUT 20mm

without the spacer you'll be worse off in every way.

put the original wheel on with the spacer, then use a ruler and guage how much space you have to play with on either side.

Depends on a million things really, camber, tyre sizing etc! Get wheels around a width and offset which is proven to work and make them fit nicely yourself. If the offsets are weak, use some spacers.

spacers lower the et of the wheel, just remember that.
i makes it easy to compare two wheels with differant offsets while using spacers.
