color me stupid

[boostisgood]

But does anyone know the offset for a 17x7 or a 17x7.5 rim on a MSP ? I got a chance to get some "rare" rims for dirt cheap, and need to know the offset for the MSP.


Rishie, Terry, anyone ?

YO Craig!

You know the answer to this.
It should be around a +45 give or take a few mm's.
It depends on the width of the rim I beleive.

Hey Craig,
I'll go out to my car and see if I can read the rear of the rim.It should have all the info stamped or cast onto it.I'll get the "REAL" rim width and the "ORIGINAL" offset!
Be back in a minute!

I love you Matt. (In a plutonic, non gay, friend, fellow tuner type of way)

Hmmmmm...Interesting?

Well ,I looked on the rear of the rim and found a few interesting things.
One spoke has Enkei stamped on it
One spoke has Racing Hart stamped on it
One has 17*7 and what looks to be +55 offset!!!!!
One other has some BS on it and I couldn't see the other one on any wheel
Hope this helps!
Matt

Well, color me stupid AGAIN. Im gonna have to wait to get rims. I gotta do the big brake upgrade, THEN find the right rim to fit over it. ARGGGGGG I hate cars. (mad)

 

[ForceFed]

I'm sorry but I really find it hard to beleive that these damn rims are a +55 offset????HMMMMM????
And WTF!
Why is enkei stamped on our damn rims?Is this who makes Racing Harts?
I'll go see my rim guru a little later in the day and maybe we will take some measurements off the rims.I need to do it anyway so he can make my wheels!

Enkie produces about 30% of the aftermarket wheels out there. They just build to spec.
