offset?

[hello1]

i wus browsing through but i couldnt find anything on the lowest offset a s13 could fit without needing wide fenders....would a 15x7.5 and 0 offset fit? how much would it stick out?

[boro240]

itll stick out a bit, not sure how much. i have +19 and theyre pretty flush. i heard you can go lower, like +15 or so (MAYBE more), and still be pretty flush.

yeah they'll stick out, especially depending on yoru tire size
i'd suggest a 205 width tire to keep it snug and not bulging out.

a 215 will definatel come out. i had 15x7 0 offset w/ 215/45/15 and -1.5 degrees camber and stuck out about 1/4 inch!

oh btw! perfect reference

my car
15x7.5 +5
205/55/15


-4 degrees camber

tucks NICE
:)
no camber? stick out about 1-1.5 inch.

side note: i have that much camber becuse on full compression ill hit my fender if i dont. i get my fenders rolled soon so i'll go down to about -3 or so. :)

WOW, what kinda of rear wheels are those? I've seen them before and I really like them. Do you know where I could find them? are those still produced? :D

[Dousan_PG]

they are longchamp XR-4
much more popular w/ Hachiroku guys, but i've always like these wheels. very old school
iirc, they are still in production (In japan of course)

this set is 15x7.5 +5
i have a full set (other two at friends house-wont clear z brakes of course)
near perfect condition
ran me $980....(no tires)
which isnt bad
a full set can run from 1000-1500 depending on condition and offset..etc..

Those are so sweet!!

I can't make up my mind. I was thinking about going to 5 lug (I have the Z32 rear hubs already) but if I could find a set of those....:D I dunno, I can't make up my mind :o jspec has a real nice set of Weds Professor's and there 5 lug. Maybe I'll just stay stock and wait til I get out of college
;)

i want to go 5 lug. maybe late this year i will. i know the whels i want and can get them dirt cheap, just no need and no money right now. these wheels are nice. but too much camber daily driven isnt fun (specially in the rain-smaller contact patch)

but dont believe the lies
camber doesnt kill tires

-3.5 daily up front, 3 track events. no unusual wear. i'll take pics on day. tires are virtually perfect
rears dont last more then 2 months, darn drifting!

[hello1]

thanx alot!

[adey]

Dousan, your rears tuck in too much! Not JDM flush yo! Get your fenders rolled ( do it the ghetto hammer way like me if you have to! ) and dial in less negative camber in the rear! :D

[Dousan_PG]

um..i like it done nice. one day i'll get off my ass and do it. ugh. lazy.

but i would like to get thecamber mroe to positive, more stable daily driving.

rear upper arms rule.
