ok this is what i know.. starions rims need to have:
PCD = 4x114.3
Offset is +18
but say we go under or over but only like 2 mms give or take should be alright?
what happens when i find rims that are the same PCD, but offset is TOO MUCH over +18 say +30 or even +40.. spacers will REDUCE the offset of the rims closer to +18?
is there many rims going around with PCD 114.3 with offsets lower than +18?
is there rims going around with -ve offsets?
if so, what can be done to fit them to the starion offset.. nothing correct?
thanks guys
rims.. once and for all answers for me
PCD = 4x114.3 - yes
Offset is +18 - yes
but say we go under or over but only like 2 mms give or take should be alright? - yes
what happens when i find rims that are the same PCD, but offset is TOO MUCH over +18 say +30 or even +40.. spacers will REDUCE the offset of the rims closer to +18? - yes but this will put more strain on the wheel studs or you may need longer ones. Failing that bolt on spacers can be used but they will cost you and may have to be custom made to suit.
is there many rims going around with PCD 114.3 with offsets lower than +18? - not many
is there rims going around with -ve offsets? - Yes some, but they are deep dish type ones, VIP style.
if so, what can be done to fit them to the starion offset.. nothing correct? - -ve offset means flaring guards to get them underneath. But again you put more strain on wheel studs
It's been said in a few places but older Toyotas, Nissans have same PCD and similar offsets. But it takes a bit of looking to find the right thing second hand. Or waiting a while if you order new and they have to make them to suit.
