wheel fitment question

[Muggus]

Found a nice set of kosei k1 and was just wondering if they would fit. First off I can't find the hub bore size on the wheels. I tried calling tire rack but there number doesn't work, the wheels are 16x7.5 with a +32 offset. The tired on it are 225/50/16. I still have the stock 4 bolt hubs, I think the size is 67mm? Correct that if its wrong. Thanks

I have 17" Kosei K1's with 235/45 17 tires and they fit fine. I do have plastic hub spacers though.

Oh alright, i figured they would fit. I just wasnt sure if that offset with that meaty of a tire would fit under the fender. Also the hub size because the owner doesnt know it and i cant find it online. Would all the k1's have the same hub bore size? What offset are you running? Thanks

I do not know the offset. Cannot measure it at the moment either. Sorry man.

Plastic? you mean Hub Centric Rings?

 

Yea you are gonna need spacers if you do 235/45/17. Only in the front though the back will be fine. Unless you roll your front fenders like i did. Go with the spacers though thats my opinion.

Well i was just wondering if the ones im looking at would fit because of the offset. I wasnt sure if they would stick out too much and with that 50 sidewall maybe hit the fender.

 

Hmm well the evo wheel is 45. So you may have an issue but to pull the wheels in thats simple camber adjustments. And yes you may just have to roll the fenders. Can you try it on the car first before you purchase?

EVO wheels are 38 mm offset not 45 mm

That would be exactly what I was referring to. I was severely hung-over...

I have run 16x7.5 with 245/45/16 with a +20mm offset without any problems so a 225/50/16 should fit. The 35mm offset should set the wheel inside the fender 15mm more.

 

I was thinking he was talking about the tires aswell :-/. . Because stock evo comes with 235/45/17
