Just trying to summarise peoples experiences with Wheel Offset onto a single post.

********** NARROWBODY SPECS ***********************

Stock Starion (JB): 15x6.5 +18 (215/60/15)

19's

Tomsun,

19s fit with coilovers and if really low will need 1.5" guard pump each back side.

215/30/19 on 8.5" rim +12 front
245/25/19 on 10" rim +12 rear

Comments: With stretched tyres and approx 2 inches of pumping, rolling and cutting the rear wheels just fit. Fronts need rolled guards to lower and are close to coil over adjusters but clear by about 4mm. D2's may be different though.

The 235/45's fit under the front guards ok and no touching on the inside when at full lock, just catch ever so slightly on the inside edge at the bottom of the front guard when turning. Probably only catching by 5mm.

FRONT: 17x8 +15 offset. Tyres 225/45/17. (235/45/17's DO NOT FIT. THEY TOUCHED THE STANDARD SPRING PERCH.) Tyre just touch on the 225's with D2 Coilovers. Going to try a 5mm spacer or a 215/45/17 tyre.
REAR: 17x9 +15 offset. Tyres 255/40/17. Fit nice with standard suspension and D2's

TOMSUN: Set 2 (WedsSport DP-V7's - 3 Piece)
FRONT: 17x7.5 +16 offset. Tyres 225/45/17. Would clear stock suspension but will probably touch spring

REAR: 17x7 +20 offset. Tyres 225/45/17.

TOMSUN: Set 4 (Mesh)---Fronts fit nice. Rears needs lips rolled and inner tubs to be "massaged", a +6 on the rears would have been "smarter" :)

FRONT: 16x7 +20. With 225/50/16 tyres.
REAR: 16x7 +20. Also 225/50/16 tyres.
Heaps of room for the rears, but there's only about 6mm between either the weld on the leg for the spring retainer or between the corner of the tyre and lowest outer edge of the spring retainer. Note, this is a standard strut.

[RiceThief]

I'd like to add, i've fitted 16x7 with a +24 offset and 225/50 tyres and they just clear the strut with lowered king springs.

[redzone]

yes 7's will fit on the front with +25 offset. thats the limit.


also that quote from charlie at the end of your post tom is about WIDEYS not narrowbodies....

[TOMSUN]

Thanks guys, that the sort of info that I'm after to try and compile here. :beer

[TomVR4]

I've got 18's x 8.5 with 235 tyres all round. they are +29 offset with a 25mm spacer on the front and a 10 or 8mm spacer on the rear. so +4mm offset on the front. The front right just scrapes on the gaurd every now and again on full lock, (front right is slightly lower than front left.. ). Does kit run coil overs or just standard struts? As I didn't think that I had much room left with the standard struts.

[redzone]

they're factory adjustable platform struts that have even less room than the original setup... orig size springs.

[NachoMan]

My GSR-V ran 17x7.5's all round with an offset of +3 a little while ago.
Now she has 17x8's all round with an offset of +5
Tyre size is 235/45/17 all round
It's 5 stud though, but that shouldn't make too much difference...

nice :drool: - Dtm drift's i take it - have been thinking about them for mine for some time

What offset you running?

[jedi]

I think we worked it out 15p on front 12p on back if that means anything.

What about these on my 5 stud EX?

Looking at changing my KOYA DRIFT TEK's

[redzone]

guys, we should probably keep references to wheels that need spacers out of this thread, otherwise it defeats the whole purpose of the thread..

So these wont go straight on? theyre 17p and my factory mags are 18p???

[RiceThief]

No it wont because offset by itself isnt the only indicator of whether the wheels will fit. Because those rims you listed are 9 inch wide, with an offset of 17 + gives a backspace of 131, which wont fit on the front of a starion without hitting the struts.
