I have a set of track model wheels, forged rays 18" and a 2003 enthusiast.

What tire combination and offset do you think would fill the hole best without sacraficing the way it drives and handles too much?

I am leaning towards a 245/40/18 front 255/45/18 rear 22mm offset all around. Anybody running close to this setup?

Maybe bfg kdw-2

Is this a good offset? do front wheels have smaller offsets? As I have seen on some as 25mm rear and 15mm front...

Any help appreciated, thanks,freeman...

 

well i dont think you can change the offset since the wheels are already made and on the car........

but the Tire sizes are good.....

 

245/40's front, 265/40's rear. Looks mean, better bite and handling.

Sorry, I have no pic's of the front's.

 

Thanks,
the offset I am referring to would be done by spacers I am confused as to what size to buy and If front spacers should be the same size...

 

The spacer would be different sizes from front and rear. The measurements you found, 15mm front and 25 rear, seem idle for what you want to do.

 

Won't a different size tire height wise screw up VDC?

 

I'm planning on doing 15mm spacers in the rear with 10mm in the front. This will bring the offsets to within 1mm of the Nismo wheels, so it'll be gauranteed to run and handle right.

I've seen them with wider spacers (15mm front, 25 rear) and while it looks cool from the side and 3/4 view, from the rear, the tires look spread too wide. You really need wider rims and tires to be able to go with that agressive of an offset and have it look right.

 

Thanks for the replys guys....
I am still confused about this and have been researching it forever lol.
It is a lot of money and I want to be sure It will work well.
bixby are you running spacers?

 

I do not recommend this combination. The rear tires are definitely taller than the front - too tall.

 

forgot to mention, we run a 245/30 265/30 on our track wheels

 

ok, what size wheel spacers would i use with a stock size?
to bring tires out close to even with fender?
I really dont want to affect my ride quality too much but I do want the tires closer to flush...
track wheels 8.0 front 30 offset
8.5 back 33 offset are sizes on stock rims...

 

Why not just measure it with the wheels you have now? Fender to rim/tire?

Just to be clear, you want to get spacers to move the outside rim on par to where the NISMO’s outside rim will be. Right?

I’m assuming the NISMO wheels have the same offset as the OEM wheels.

The fronts are .5 inch wider, so half of that to the outside = 6.35mm to move the outside rim on the front.

The rears are 1 inch wider. So again half that = 12.7mm

Allowing for a “Tuner look” and 10mm front and 15mm rear should do it.
