10" Wide Wheels, +45 Offset Will they Fit?

trevtubby · February 26, 2009, 12:08:59 PM

Hey,

Im looking at a set of new wheels, they are 9" wide on the front with +41 offset, and 10" wide at the rear with +45 offset.

Will these fit with no arch modifications needed? I have Tein coilovers and have the rear on its lowest setting, i`d like to keep it that way.

Also, the tyres on the rear will be 255/40`s..if that makes a difference. :confused: With 225/35`s on the front.

Hi matey, the fronts will be okey. And 10\'s do fit on the back with no probs as the volks i have are 10\'s but the +45 might rub on the inside on the arch. Can you trial fit before you buy

my 19 s are 10 " wide but the offset is more like 35-38 dont think that will work

depends on tire width and lowering but should work

will fit ok as I have tried 10j\'s on mine with +45 offset

ok thanks for the help guys.

I hope they fit, really awesome wheels.

Picking them up this weekend so should have some pics soon-ish.

an offset of that much is moving the tyre closer to the inside of the car yes 10 "s may fit but wont they look silly being so far towards the inside of the car !!!

Re-A 9.5jj are 45+ offset and they\'re a nice fit. I\'m spaceing it 6mm to make it 39+. Either way it should make a pretty good fit if you went much more than that it would start to look silly without wider arches.

That depends on opinion - some would argue that wheels set into the arches look a bit silly

BAck to the OP - It all depends on tyre choice dude

10j et45 with a 225 will fit easily, with a 275 there\'s going to be a bit more of an issue

As always, tyre choice is critical.

Sorry I should have been more clear 9.5j with a 45+ will sit almost perfectly flush with the arches. I think al little less is better prob 38ish but lower end of the 30\'s and the tyre start to sit proud of them.

SiH · February 26, 2009, 07:32:55 PM

That depends totally on the tyre size

I can tell you for a fact that 10j et20 still puts the tread under the arches.

With a 225.

When it comes to clearance, tyre size and offset are key. Wheel width is a factor, but not as significant

trevtubby · February 26, 2009, 08:03:05 PM

soooo...will my tyres, considering my sizes/offsets etc....be flush, stick out, or be stuck in? lol

SiH · February 26, 2009, 08:56:54 PM

255 et41 should present no issues

Although it does also depend to a certain extent on tyre shape

trevtubby · February 26, 2009, 08:57:47 PM

i think they are ET45 mate, the 10" rears, with the 255 tyres

Still no issues?

Heeey, found the exact same wheels, in the exact same sizes and offsets.

I remembered that Dan had the same wheels on his RX-7..so had a dig though his old posts and found some pics.

The fit seems perfect, hopefully i`ll be able to lower the car a bit more than Dan has here though.

Good Times. :Giggle
