offsets

rising son · December 13, 2011, 10:15:00 PM

anybody know the max offset on alloys before they rub of the shocks or anything else behind the wheels?, ive got longer studs and 10mm spacers still to go on, just looking for wheels now

i got et38 on 8j rims on front and theres about 2mm until it hits the coilvoers!

Why do you have longer studs?

it\'d probably be alot easier to just buy bolt on spacers than faf about with changing the studs out. Also if you\'re going to be running spacers its worth making sure you go for hubcentrics to take the load off of the studs.

as for wheels, anything around 8-9J with an offset in the 20\'s would be ideal, but as youve got spacers you could go for something in the 30\'s. Also the rear hubs sit further in than the fronts so you need more width/offset at the back for it to look baller. If you run the same tyre widths front at back with the extra offset on the back it will make you\'re car a bit more oversteery

Only use hubcentric bolt on spacers, don\'t use slip on spacers, else you will put massive load onto the hubs which will mean they won\'t last long until something breaks, check out DM motorsport, he has some good quality hubcentric bolt ons

mitch are you trying to say that hubcentrics remove the load from the hub? :Hammer

would have thought 10mm slip ons would be fine, anything over and yea id go hubcentric, i ran 80mm rears and 60mm front hubcentrics on my last drift car, do people even make 10mm hubc\'s? reason for the longer studs (which i bought from mazdarotaryparts) is with the wheels i have now and the wheels im putting on im only getting a tiny amount of thread coming through on the standard studs, maybe 6-7 threads

Im just saying its never good to use slip on spacers lol

honestly ive been using spacers for many many years and ive found 10mm is completely safe when used with longer studs, talking from experience and these arent road cars im talking about, they get punished, but like you guys say anything above that hubcentric is the way to go
