Is there a way to Determine Offset from Camber?
I have wheels on my z33 that I do not, for now, know what offset they are.
I'm wondering if there is a way, with the camber degree that I have right now, how do you find out what offset wheels to get to basically correct the camber??? i may not have said that correctly, but hopefully..im really hoping...i can get an answer that doesn't include the 50 post saying SEARCH!!!?!?@#%#
thanks for any input, (thats useful)

combine all answers left thus far together into one sentence and youre money, OP.
Wheel offset correcting camber? uh.. no.
We cant tell you to search if what youre saying makes no sense.. its as logical as ...uh..
questioning the current marital status of the numeral 5.
Unrelated, makes no sense. Sorry, not hatin. jussayin

OP - Take the wheels off and look for the markings on the back side of the wheel for the offset. Or you can measure if there are no markings.

Someone needs to learn what offset is, lol.
You could google how to measure offset, OP, and do it yourself and get *pretty* close to what it is... would be more accurate then people guessing just by looking at the mad tyte stance.

OP what are you trying to do exactly? If youre trying to find out how much more negative offset you need to fill the gap you currently have, you gotta take the wheel off and check the markings, or just measure it out.
As far as correcting camber with a different offset wheel, that is impossible.

Don't listen to all these noobs OP. It's very easy to determine the offset from camber. It's not an EXACT calculation, but it'll get you close..probably within mm's. Here's what you wanna do.
1) get the car to an elevated position.
2) You're going to want to measure the point where the strut and spring meet. It should be between 2 and 3 inches celcius.
3) multiply that by 7.
4) Look for the markings on the wheel. If there are none, you're going to have to remove the wheel.
5) Measure the distance between the mounting point and the center of the wheel in inches. Write that number down.
6) Convert that number to mm.
7) Start at number 5 cuz the rest of that is jibber-jabber.
Whatever you're trying to DO, you can't do it. But with this info, you're ready for

And you can skip step 6 if you just use a metric ruler.

I'm sure if you posted a pic of the rear of your car with some suspensions specs, we could guess your offset within 5mm. Some of us study this a little too much on here lol
