AE86 Wheel offset, need Help! Fri, 02 April 2004 03:12 Go to next message
Hi guys,

i got myself 2 pairs of rims that i want to use on my sprinter, 1 pair of rays engineering wheels 15x6.5, and one pair of Longchamp xr-4's 15x6.5.

Now i dont know much about offsets, but i need to know if i can use these wheels on my car. The offset of my rays wheels are +8, and the offset of the xr-4's is +6.

Does anyone know which ones i should have on the front/back?
and if i will have any problems (rubbing etc)
Im using 205/55/15 for the back and 195.50.15 for the front!

any help is much appreciated Smile

cheers
ryan

Appears to be RWD offsets so it should fit fine with no probs.

For 6.5" wide, an ideal offset would be more 12-18.

Also ensure that the PCD is correct - Sprinter's are 114.3 but other cars are 100.

yeah dude pcd is correct, i tested the rays on the front with 205/55/15's and i could hardly turn the wheel and they would rub!

Do u know which wheels i should put on the front?? as there offsets are different!!

My friend said the rays with the +8 offset is better suited for the front, but i just wanna double check that!!

thanx for the help Smile

Ryan , you been to Box Hill have you ?

I think people will need a bit more information to solve your problem .

1. What is the height of the vehicle ?
2. camber / Castor setting ?
3. front end set up ? which struts / lower control arms ?
4. have you cut the inner guard just above the bumper mount ?
5. have you filed the bumper to guard mount area near the screw ?
6. is the tyre rubbing on the caster rod ?
7. or the inner guard ?
8. ask Hirogen for the ae86 workshops phone number in Box Hill .
9. no number nine ... yet

well car setup is totaly stock suspension wise!!!
I asked mike, but he didnt seem to know about offsets and stuff..

I just really need to know what pair of wheels is best suited for front/back of the car taking the offset into consideration!!

Like if you have the same wheels 2 with +8 offset and 2 with +6, what wheels would you put on the front?? back??

cheers

its rubbing where the inner guard is next to the mudflap..

I think its because the tyres are to big, he(suki) told me to use 195/50/15 up front, but i dont have them to test and c if they rub! All i know is that they rub with the 205/55/15. But i think it will miss with the lower profile tyres!

i have to find a place that will let me test a tyre to c if it rubs!! Confused

thanks for the help!! Very Happy
