naw, 17x8.5 i think would be perfect on our cars. with a 32 offset.

super rare size/offset in the 5x100 pattern, but work xd9's have it.

or 17x8 +25 front and 17x9 +25 rear, but staggered for fwd is kinda lame.

thanks.

You'll need 21mm spacers for front and 38mm for rear. Remember, that's for hellaflush. If you want just a nice, functional flush, I'd say 15mm front and 30mm rear would do nicely.

You guys are looking at it from the wrong perspective.

Fenders are meant to be crushed That's they're safety feature.

First and foremost! YOU GUYS NEED TO BUY BETTER RIMS!!!! Starting with rims not made for Subaru's is a good start.

People people people use Math, if you want HellaFlush just get closest to 0 as possible. Easy enough??

If you wanna be on the safe side......then get closest to 20 offset.

808 you can't just say an offset without a width.
some guys on here like whatthe are trying to make a 6.5" wide wheel flush, in which case yes the offset should be around 0, but if you have a 8.5" wide wheel then the offset would have to be +25 to have the same flushness.

I have both my 18x8 (+30) and 15x7 (+whatever the offset is on stock) wheels flush on the celica, same spacers, same effect. Spacers are ~~30mm and ~~25mm. The width imo should determine how much concave and how fat of a lip you have. or how small of a lip.

don't mean to argue with you, and i love the look of your car,

but width definitely affects how flush the wheel is, people need to know this.

stock offset is 45
a 18x8 +30 sticks out 28 mm (over an inch) further than a 15x7 +45. that's the math.

Width definitely changes things. Width isn't just added on to the outer portion of the wheel - it's on both sides. A 9" rim is going to be 1" wider in both directions from the mounting surface. This means 1" closer to the fender, and 1" closer to the strut.


I don't see what is so hard about Harold's easy-to-follow math in the first post. This is really a no brainer, guys.

i never was a fan of this method of wheel spacers but i would like to gather a community opinion of it

quoted from H&R's site
"DRA Series spacers bolt to the hub with special wheel bolts (included) and provide new threaded holes for wheel bolts."

i have the regular style where you must replace the studs for longer ones. but as i grow older and lazier, the DRA spacers seem more enticing.
so
whats the general opinion?

So it turns the studs to wheel bolts? Sounds like what VW was done for a very long time.

Ive looked into a few sets of spacers, and one of the local car scene guys is running 27mm spacers, but, they are hubcentric and he has never had an issue with them, no vibration or anything, as long as you are not buying cheap spacers you will usually not run into issues with teh bolt ons
they came from motorsport-tech.com

What I think when you think I care

96stgreendemon

#131

You do not want those, they are lug-centric which means the weight of your car will be on the lug studs and not on the hub. the spacers you want are going to be the same size but look for spacers that are HUB-Centric with a 54.1 Center Bore size, this will be easier on your car and less chance of really messing something up, Just remember you gotta pay to play.
Here are a few reputable links, and the Motorsport tech ones you can have custom made to your specs
Ichiba Hub-centric spacers
Motorsport-tech , and i even did some of the work on there for you, spend some money and get quality spacers, there are some things you just dont cheap out on

Rims are 15x8 with a 5 inch backspace. Im pretty sure thats +15 and the tyres are 205/55/15. The wheel well gap looks horrible. i have megan racing springs now. i am hesitant with putting on the ebay coilovers i bought to get rid of the gap while i save up for some legit coilovers.

Told you Diamond racing rims would look Cherry.
Should've went 195/50/15 though

What about ebay coil sleeves??? I have them and they're fine for me, this is 3/4 down with tire rubbing and rolled/cut fenders


more camber and somewhat lower

Alright guys, I'm bringing this back so that I can make an educated decision on big wheels. I'm not looking for hella-flush, I just want big beefy wheels and tires to fill out the wells...

Big Wheels

The question is what will I need to get a +42 offset on these 9" wheels to fit on the my Abby (96 GT on eibach prolines w/GR2s)?

---

~bloodMoney

block

#148

Stock offset isn't +42? I thought it was +35? Whatever. Just get an offset between 20-30 and you'll look good (depending on size). I have 17x8 +35 in the front and need about 5mm for flush. Same setup for the rears and need 10mm for flush.

#149

pretty sure no one on this site has put a 9" width in the front. you would be the first.
