Who runs negative offset wheels on their ride?

[Hondamatic]

Im wondering cause I'm about to mount up some +10 offset mesh wheels (16x8 on 205/55/16 AVS 100s tires) up front with a 25mm H&R adaptor. The rear wheels are the same size with a -10 offset. I know im going to have to get wide fenders up front and roll the fenders, adjust camber in rear.

All this will go down after I get back from DGTrials this weekend, I'll have pics.

Hey Ryan and Eric if your reading this, are you guys still going? Caravan?

super wide fenders. I run 7inch wide wheels with a +10 and they are really really flush. add about 37mm plus fenders to compensate for your wheels, or look like a mexicano mobile

[Dousan_PG]

you need wide fendesr no doubt
i borrowed Jspec demon camber, 16x8 -15
and i had 20mm wide fenders AND -3 camber and it BARELY made it.

S13? S14? What kind of tires? Did you have to pull/roll fenders at all?

I ask cus I'm gonna be running +20 offset w/ 10mm spacer soon... ;p

[nightwalker]

s13, and -1.25 camber. Perfect fit.

16x8 -10 they fit flush on my s14a

16x8 -10 they fit flush on my s14a

not to be a complete dick....but that's not really flush...lol..close..and looks good...but i wouldn't call it flush...especially in the front..once you kit it and have skirts on there they will prolly almost look sunken...if you were to choose this route..

:)

[Johny5]

i totally agree but to the nonhardcore that is as flush as most want it. if i actually had adjustable ride height and ruca's, the spacer fun would be on like donkey kong. trust me, its not ENOUGH for me, but its decent.

edit: btw, the fronts need spacers more than anything in the world, i never was satisfied with how the fronts sat :hammer:

That just doesn't seem like -10 offset to me. I'm used to looking at S13's but I didn't think there was THAT much of a difference. You aren't running much camber either. Do I just know jack shit about S14's?

[DuffMan]

Yeah theres really no way that could be -10 offset. That would mean the stock rim is 69mm farther in than that (for the 6.5 width rim). I think not.

agreed. negative offset = flares

[Zemus]

I would say.. +10 offset maybe +15.. not -10.

Looks good! Espically next to that mustang where the wheel is 3 inches from the fender.. ;)

[Johny5]

we did the proper measuring methods on both the front and back, fronts are 16x7 +12 rears are 16x8 -6 errrrr, my bad earlier, i said 10 :hyper: my bad, its -6.

[Ian]

hm, id onno about that...my rears are 17x9 and +39 w/ 25mm spacers...so +14 offset and that's how they look...

[Ian]

eh...after consulting pics...it looks like urs are a lil more "flush" then mine...but still..i dont believe a -10 offset...maybe like 0 at MOST

[adey]

if "your measurements" say -6, I guarantee there's human error in that.
Explain to us how you're measuring your offset, and we'll tell you what you're doing wrong.
My guess is that the wheels are actually 7" wide, but you measured lip to lip, adding about an inch... then, you forgot to take face thickness into account, adding another few mm (up to a cm or more, depending on face design) to reach "-6". Ha!!

[Johny5]

no, they're 9" lip to lip and 8" after you take the extra inch off.

[Johny5]

ok nvm, haha. my friends a jackass, he measured it using 9" lip to lip in the equation, doh. my bad.

i have 0 offset 16x7 enkei mesh, and i tried to use my 16mm spacer, the picture is in my sig. it didnt work, even with -3 degrees of camber, i was thinking about using more camber, but decided to take out the spacers instead, in the rear, the 0 offset if you dont roll the lip otherwise its fine,
