Flushing 17x7.5's. how much offset

[CrispMofo]

I have 17x7.5's on 225/45's.
How much offset will get the maximum flush on these?

Another ques: Are aftermarket parts required in order to run some negative camber?

i have no idea about the offset, i'm a bit interested in that myself. the best way to find out, since everyone has their own definition of flush, would be to find a setup you like, no matter what width and offset, and work it out using this, wheel offset calculator (http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html).

if your car is lowered you probably already have some negative camber. if not or you want more, you will need aftermarket parts. depending on mow much you want, you could use eccentric bolts/bushings, camber plates, or adjustable control arms. the search button is your friend.

best bet is find pics, i would guess around 10-20. If you wait a week I could tell you what 7inch with +11 will look like on a hatch.

But ya umm just search 7.5 inch or something, maybe someone out there will have some pics.

If all else fails get a spacer.

Hey Nitekids... you wanna order some pizza on your sinking ship? We could cut the slices with those wheels!!!


Sorry, but i have to give Henry a laugh at your expense... Yeah, im an :mrmeph: get over it. Oh wait, I'm getting paid a visit by they wheel sizing fairy. Ok... shhh... i can't hear her. She says: anything smaller than 17x9 wheels look like the ass end of a donkey and aren't worth getting, you may as well get 15's if you are going for such weaksauce sizes. Damn, that biiiitch is kinda harsh, but you heard it straight from the horses mouth, thats how she feels...

i don't know about crisp but i want 7.5"s so i can stay in STS class in autoX. you're not allowed anything thing wider than 7.5" and 225 tires. i would love 8" or 9"s as much as the next guy, but i can't afford 3 sets of wheels and tires. that and i don't have enough power to put all that rubber to work anyway.

judging by what he wrote, he already has tires and is trying to pick out some spacers.

17x7.5 +10 is flush.

However, the wheel sizing fairy is correct.

OMG BWHAHAHHAHAHA! Oh **** you made me fall out my chair linsey! That's a good one.

Listen to the fairy. That way everyone will have the exact same wheels as nitekids. :rolleyes:
