wheel offset

[fletch90]

so im up for tires soon, all 4 of them /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif
not keen on my set of 18's, decided to downsize. plus good tyres in that size are are costly around my way
decided to look for a nice set of 16's
my noob arse question today is will i have any issues fitting 16x8's with 0 offset?
thanks

Not going to work with 8" and 0 offset.

I lowest I think you could get away with is +25mm with the right tire and chamber setting search 17x8 +25 to see the fitment.

I would definitely stay in the 25-30 range on an 8" wheel.

 

[iceman69510]

Even that is low depending on how much you want to deal with for stick out. I have +42 8" wheels, but I wanted to keep them fairly tucked (which means watch control arm clearance).

 

[EMX5636]

Yeah, my specs are definitely close to "aggressive" fit, but not any stupid stance crap.

17x8 +35 with 17 235 45 tires.

That picture shows me how far I pulled my fenders. The 17x9 35mm (minus a 5mm spacer in the rear) wheels I just picked up fit about the same in the fenders with the same size tire.

I run 17x8 35 offset EVO IX wheels with 225/45r17 tires with no rubbing issues with about a 1.5: drop up front. With the 5mm spacers in the rear, the tires are pushed right out to the edges and fill nicely without having to roll the fenders.

There is a lip/ridge in the rear right arch on my car that is not on the left left hand side. Kind of annoying its preventing me from making rear wheels flush.
