Aggressive fitment anyone?!

[Wagonbacker9]

they would poke 30mm+

Those will stick out about 12mm less than the 9" +14 to give you an idea.

30mm from what? out from the fender?

hmm i remember the fronts poked a s*** ton with that setup...dam
i really liked those rims but they are for jeeps and s*** so they all had negative or really low offset

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Anyway you could test fit first before buying anything?

what else would you measure from?

 

[justanothermp5]

good point lol

and no i couldnt test fit them, i guess i could buy one and see how that fits before/if i buy any more
there only 87 bucks

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Thats not horrible, I would buy one just to try. Oh, and you'll have a s*** load of inner room for camber since its only 8" wide and you gotta remember, Hung didn't adjust the stance at all, he just through it on with his settings for his wheels.

 

[justanothermp5]

yea, i guess i could try it, if they dont fit ill sell them on craigslist or something
thanks guys

ok just found the same rim, 17x8 4.5" backspacing
anybody know how to convert backspacing to offset in mm?
edit: nvm, found a little chart online

so im not going to get the rims, i forgot i dont have full coilovers and i cant go as low as i wanted on the 16's anyways

I've been messing with my height and camber in the rear all morning trying to get it just right and I'm exactly -2 degrees and you with a 35mm difference 1.375" would poke 1" past the outer edge of the fender and pretty much require stock ride height

in to mm conversion is pretty much exactly what you'd think. just take wheel width minus backspace, and that will give you the positive offset amount. so in your case whatever to 1/2" converts to. roughly +14mm if memory serves.

 

[shane02pro5]

I think that's about a 9mm offset my 8" is 9.7"/2-4.5"=9mm+/- offset from center.

i have a question: can any tire be stretched? i have general tires(205/45/16) and im wondering if i could put them on a 8 inch width rim.

 

[justanothermp5]

well according to the chart i looked at online, they said a 8" wide wheel with 4.5" backspacing was 0 offset
so idk, either way im not getting them lol

and yea you can put those 205/45's on a 8"

 

[BlackCherry]

How's that guys?

 

[justanothermp5]

needs lower, but besides that, looks pretty niceeee

 

[BlackCherry]

I have a drop, 1.4 all around any more and I'll rub a lot
