[CL9] Low offset wheels

[acclude17]

ur pic doesnt work

[x10Hz]

or should i go 18x8.5 +41 18x9.5 +45 instead of 18x8.5 +35 18x9.5+38
car will be lowed on buddyclub

you should understand that if you go such a high offset with wide wheels you will rub the inside of the wheel on the strut. you need around +30 or lower if you dont want to run spacers. 18x8.5 +35 18x9.5 +38 will fit on a euro, but you need guard roll all round, maybe a rear pull, and defiantly bumper tabs moved. remember if you are paying more then $500 for all that you are paying way too much.

sangyz if your running 9.5's you will 98% need the bumper tabs done.

also, you may want to invest in a front camber kit, cos otherwise the fronts wont tuck properly, if thats what your going for :)

[acclude17]

18x8.5 +35 18x9.5 +38 will this offset need spacers

[x10Hz]

try this out
http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp (Offset Calculator)

enter you current fitment and desired fitment, and measure how much clearance you have at the rear of your wheels between the strut and wheel and go from there.

I did a quick calc, if your currently running 7.5" with a 45 offset and your going to 9.5" 38 offset, you have move 18mm closer to the strut. So depending on how close you are to the strut before, you may need a spacer (5mm would usually do the trick), but then you may have to think about negative camber also, as this will effect your clearance to the strut.

I know on my fitment i was only 5mm closer, which didnt cause an issue, even with natural camber slammed (which is around -4.

[acclude17]

ok cheers guy
does ne1 know wot the factory offset on lux rims are??
ne pics of ur setup guy?
do u think i can get awy with natural camber on the fronts 18x8.5 +35

[kitbkk]

^
stock '05 lux has 17x7 et55 if I remember correctly.
18x8.5 +35 you have to run 225's or smaller with natural camber and front guards need to be rolled.

ne pics of ur setup guy?


I shall put some up sunday/monday

unfortunately no, i ran outa money lol, have to wait till i get paid to buy them and get them fitted.

I dont have any front pics at the moment, tho i can tell you it looks odd, it pokes way to much at the moment cos i dont have any front camber. Once i get my front camber kit fitted i should be tucking like .5 of a finger at the front, which will be perfect.

^Do it right, do it yourself haha. free too! :P

well, to those wanting to run front camber kits to tuck/clear their fronts, the ball joint type camber kits mostly have adjustability range of +/- 1.5 which I think may not be enough to use them for what you are after, more of correcting/even out left and right. Skunk2 upper arm type front camber kit has around +/- 3. Spoon and Vision I forgot have much adjustability they have. But I'm running -3.5 in the front with Vision and they still have heaps more negative to go.

do u guys think 18x10+30 going to fit the rear or cl9? (rolled guards) i am guessing not, but i think i should ask just to confirm, coz i am thinking of getting 18x9+30 front and 18x10+30 rear re30 style black on my black euro

the 18x18+30 will fit, the only issue you may have is the offset not being low enough as the inside of the wheel might rug the strut. You may need to run a spacer, anywhere between 5-15mm. Just of the top of my head, im pretty sure you will need a 15mm spacer to make it fit.

Yeah my rears are 18x9.5 +30... so with the extra 0.5inch difference. Your wheels might scrape your coilovers if cambered. But running that much width and offset, you need camber. So spacers definately as x10Hz said. I say 10mm spacers to be safe :)

[RiceMeister]

18x10 +30 should work fine if you run a 10mm to clear inside strut. just test fit and go from there :) either it will rub a little or not at all, and if it does rub just add a spacer and more camber to fit.

a roll/tab mods/and a flare if you don't want to poke too much will help too.

Really do want to learn wheels lol.

im not sure whats next for me as i need to sell the car first :) then from there ill see what i can get.

SuperJDM: its the offset the less the number the bigger the dish :) and the more out ur wheels sticking out from the guard

[x10Hz]

those wheels are SSR professors 18x9.5 +12
18 = rim diameter
9.5 = rim width
+12 offset means; if you were to cut the rim in half the distance from the exact middle of the rim to where the bolts are is 12mm
if you dont really understand it, just google "wheel offset" and you will find something :)

as a general rule, on dished rims the lower the offset, the deeper the dish.

[SuperJDM.]

Yeah i agree. when i first started modding most people were advising not to go lower than +45 which is too conservative and looks crap. Anyhoo i'm now loving 8.5" +30 at the front and considering going 9.5" + 32 at the rear.

Btw your fitment is insane!

[RiceMeister]

It's all about opening your mind haha, you just need to broaden your view on fitment and you can fit anything :D


When I started modding everyone told me 18x7.5 +42 was perfect for a 2000 Accord, now I'm running 18x8 +37 which is quite more aggressive but its sunk as anything and I'll be going far wider for flush fitment.

9.5 on a Euro is no longer a NO-GO and its becoming more common, that being said many are still reluctant to run lower than +30, on the flipside dudes in the US are rocking 9.5 +15 GTR fitment on their Euro's.

Australia needs to step its game up! crappy roads are no excuse as US roads are worse.

Interesting,

ISC seem to still have them under CST.

I have sent them a inquiry about them see what they respond.

[x10Hz]

ahh fair enuf :D

[RiceMeister]

Yep CST was bought out by MB Wheels and then MB renamed the Hyper 1 - MB Battle.

From what I know, you can still find some of the CST's in the US with all the different offsets like +23 and +27 and are sold as CST's as they're old stock. MB Battles now only come in certain offsets. +15, +22 off top of my head... So if you're buying new models of the wheel it'll be an MB Battle with the specific offsets they make now.

no doubt they'll look great on a euro. good to see more people going the aggressive fitment route! :)

[max9907.0422]

is there a website that anyone would recommond for wheels?
i look at rota aust n thats it

So i know i can run 18x9 +35 at the rear. but will these goes at the front? ive been on rimtuck but no one is running that fitment at the front.

[felixd]

18x9 +35 is orite i suupose at the front but u will rub abit just get ur fender trimm n roll u shuld b fine

[RiceMeister]

Sem is running 18x9.5 +25 and is slammed hard with no rubbing whatsoever. so yes, a x9 +30 will fit no worries.

he is also on coils and is very low. you will need to run a 225/40 tyre and trim the fender liner as said. it will sit nice and flush no worries at all.

you can go A LOT more aggressive if you really want to.

[elitee]

ok so i got a reply from ISC on the CST hypers they have.

Guess as said before they are now the battle as they only come in 18x9.5 +15 or 18X9 +30

What sort of work is involved going that low of a offset ?

guards rolled, and rear bar shaved massive negative camber im guessing

[x10Hz]

you will need all the liner cut away, rear bumper tabs moved back, and a mild pull at the rear. PM me and i can give you details of a guy that does a very very good job on euros :)
In terms of camber, natural camber is fine if you wanna tuck (but thats on a +25 offset) with the mild pull tho you should be fine with natural camber.

[RiceMeister]

As Sem said above...with the right work it CAN be done.

1. Guards rolled
2. Mild pull on the rear
3. Fender liner cut and modified
4. Bumper tab relocation.

probably be looking at something around -3 camber all round. which isn't ridiculous either.

it looks like a lot, but its all done at once and will take about 4 hours at our mates shop. He does a really good job.

Here is a TSX running 18x9.5 +15 MB Battles with 215/40/18 tyres and natural camber rear and a camber kit at the front...

Push the limits! you CAN do ANYTHING ;)

hey guys, just wondering if it's possible to run 18x8.5 +31 offset on 225/40/18 tyres with zero gap without any guard work done?

[RiceMeister]

If you're wanting zero finger gap you'll want a roll on all four corners and bumper tabs cut and relocated on rear. otherwise you will rub on bumps with a 225 tyre.

what susp. are you running? the stiffness of your sussy will also impact this.

[K24A]

i'm running buddyclub N+ coilovers on 5 clicks from fully stiff setting.

[RiceMeister]

you'll need a guard roll all round if you wnt to so run those specs that low. won't rub once you have though so its definitely not a headache fitment setup :)

[x10Hz]

should remeber you can avoid guard rolling if u run hectic camber + run a 215 tyre.

they'll fit with no problems, but you might want to try a much lower offset if you want to get any kind of decent stance.

rather than picking up a high offset and running spacers, get a lower offset wheel so you can get the dish/stepped lip/concave rather than having none and it sitting the same.

best advice is to look around for your wheels and wait until you find the perfecting sizing. I've compromised a lot and run spacers and run into headaches with wheels that weren't right spec.

You can literally make anything fit, but it just depends how you want to go about it.

17's will look hot though ;)

if you want to slam you euro to the ground and want a nice stance 17x9 +22 all round would be great.

I also saw these on NS...

with a guard roll and some stretch + lows and natural camber you can fit them man!

most people go bitch fitment in aus, so step it up and try something unique ;) run a 215/40/17 all round as well.

dudes have fit 18x9.5 +25 so a 9 +10 isn't impossible. it'll only sit out an extra 9mm from that and you'll have heaps more inner clearance to run some epic camber.

good luck :)

haha yeah was leaning towards that anyway. How many mm should I lower my buddyclubs (considering I will have rims around those specs in the future)

my current measurements are

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac78/woods180/553133f0.jpg

they will fit tho you will need atleast -3/-4 camber at the front cos that will poke like a bitch and between -4/-6 at the rear. Ontop of that you will need a roll and pull all round + removing the fender liner. As a side note, if this car is ur daily i wouldnt run that hard.. you will go through tyres like condoms at a brothel.. :)

[elitee]

my current measurements are

Front: 100mm (body length from second spring perch to top of lower locking perch)
Rear 85mm (body length from second spring perch to top of lower locking perch)

This mean 0 finger gap at front and -1.5 finger cap at rear

Hi guys will these fit without rolling guards or scrubbing? Haven't lowered my car yet but will b getting N+ and ingalls rears soon.

18x8 +38 225/35/18
All round.

I'm still getting a feeling I'll need to roll guards with these specs even with a 2 finger gap..... (reallllly do not want to do guard work etc....) Should I just go for a safer 40's offset or am I just being a worry wart ha.

[shmivic]

your car will swallow those specs with ease,

you wont need any bodywork even if you drop it down past no finger gap

[dee-y]

Would it be a pretty flushish look?

[shmivic]

looks it will be pretty close to perfect,
i have 8.5" + 35 on mine and the rears with -2 finger gap still has about half an inch from the guards
fronts, the rim is dead even with the guard with same ride height.

Try Sydney Guard Rolling. I paid 120 for both the fronts last year. Alternatively, you could try Top One in Arncliffe.
Nice choice of wheels. Ive not seen an euro with these wheels before. looking foward to pics with them fitted.
Are you refurbing them first?

Hi guys sorry to bring up a old thread but I am about to buy some Work Emotion Xd9's and was wondering about size. I was looking at getting 18x9 all around with +30 offset in matte black. Would 18x9 all round be a bit to much? I would like a aggressive look but also dont want the car to drive like crap.

Im currently running Buddy Club Coilovers with about a 2 finger gap up front and no gap at the rear on stock 16's. Also got ingalls camber arms in the rear.

you should really just read the rest of this thread, which you obviuosly havnt done... all the questions you are asking are already covered in here.

PS. if the guy above you is gonna run 17x9 +20 you can run 18x9 +30.
PPS. what makes you think your car will ride like crap on agressive wheels?

what offset did you end up getting ?

i need to get 2 center caps didn't know they were so expensive :@

iv also decided to spray the centers takata green with polished lip :D

[BLKWLF]

Hi guys. Im looking at getting 18x8 for the front and 18x8.5 for the rear. I wanna run 225/45 tires for the front and 235/45 for rear. What i need to know is what offset should i look for so i dont have any clearance or rubbing issues? Currently its stock height but will lower (not a lot) in the future.

[dee-y]

iv also decided to spray the centers takata green with polished lip :D

I'm thinking I should of gone for a more aggressive offset than 8" +38, but think it will look fine when I get my sussy sorted. :D

anyone tried fitting 17x9 +15 on a euro how much work am i expecting

[racerwannabe]

Thats a bit ambitous...I'd reckon it will require lots of guard work and camber. Not worth it. If you wanna go 9" wide stick with a +30 or higher offset.

[89lude]

just i can get me hands on a set of te37 in that spec cheap

19x8.5 +38
19x9.5 +38
would it fit with rolling of guards when lowered?

[namtaro]

you should just do it, just incase. Better be happy than sorry, when i fitted my wheels i went out and got guards all rolled and all camber kits then installed the wheels, never went back or worry when i went wider wheels.

[TRaNz]

19x8.5 +38
19x9.5 +38

you will need at bit of neg camber all round so you dont rub.

[tonyyy1987]

so i assume 19x9 +45 all round will fit ok???

also what you reckong about black on black

[dee-y]

This is mine with 18X8 +38 all round, just to get a reference point for you.

-1.7 at front and -2.7 at back

So front fairly flush, rear can go more aggressive.

Hey guys was wanting to get some advice on fitment for 18x8.5 +30 all around.
I will be dropped on buddy club n+ with no finger gaps. I will also be getting rear camber arms... but will I also need fronts as well? or will it work with natural camber?? Also with tyre choices it seems that a 215/40/18 at the front and a 225/40/18 in the rear is ideal. I understand that the fronts may need to get pumped out a little but what about the rear??. Also would anyone have any recommendations as to where I could get the work done in sydney?

[x10Hz]

you wont need a front camber kit, front doesn't camber naturally with a drop, you can go 215/40/18 all round, not issue with that. And i don't think you will need any guard work, only way to tell is to jack the car up and measure it with a tape measure. So u can work out how much clearance you have to work with.

[miaturd]

Wow thought I would still need a fair bit of guard work. I guess Ill have to buy the wheels first and go on from there. Thanks !

[x10Hz]

what would be a tought offset for an 18x8.5 on a cl9.... i was thinking around +33 - +35?

To be both agressive and practical high 20's are the money.
Why not get out a tape measure and measure the clearnace from the strut to the guard and the hub to the guard to work out how much room you have to work with, then find a set of wheels that fit.

http://www.willtheyfit.com/ - this will help

Tyre ware isnt too much of an issue if you can rotate them and have a good wheel alignment. The main problem anyone with fitted wheels will have is cops. They see low+camber+wheel outside guard = defect

Just wondering, could I just get by with a guard roll if I were to fit 18x9, +35 wheels on zero gap all around. Also, what tyre specs would I need?

[SpiderPig]

Would I need to roll guards if I were to try and fit
17x8 +35 215/45/17 all round
lowered on buddy club n+ and rear camber arms?

[jzx_andy]

Hey guys.. been doing a bit of reading up on wheel specs ETC, but i still cant get my head around everything.

Basically what i'd want to achieve is to have 18 inch jap rims (whatever works/volks/etc that tickle my fancy and come in the correct size), that would sit flush without any rubbing/scraping issues on the natural camber after lowering it a bit. in terms of lowering i wouldn't want it slammed, but enough so the car is fine for daily driving.

does anyone know what wheel width/offset id need, and what tyre specs would suit? I dont really care about having maximum tyre width, as that would dig holes in my pocket :P

cheers

Mate that should fit no problems. In all honesty that offset is quite high which means it will look sunken in. Obviously not as bad as OEM wheels. No camber required. You will find 2 finger gap look too high. At least 1 finger gap.

[jzx_andy]

yeah the offset seems OK, it was more or less the width i was worried about...

[MWAKU]

9 inch wide at the rear with +42 offset. the car is currently just tucking on 16s with natural camber. ill have to roll the guards, but will i need to run a camber kit?

ok guys, how will 17x8+47 front and 17x9+47 rear fit on stock CL9 height? also how would it look once lowered? any estimates on how much camber would be needed for it to look flush on ~2 finger gaps?

OK tried them on yesterday morning on my cousins euro.

FYI at 17x9 +47, lowered to 1 finger gap with 215 tyres (heaps of stretch haha) and on about -1.5 degrees camber, the back was perfectly flush (maybe poking out a bit), fitment wise, it was amazing.
fronts were a little sunken in. on that note, at this height/camber and with no guard work at all, i doubt you'd be able to fit these specced wheels with 225 tyres or higher.

I didnt end up buying the rims since they were in crappy condition but i thought i might aswell post.

instead i got a set of rota wheels off ebay in 18x8.5 +48, so im guessing i'd need spacers once theyre on my car with coilovers/camber kit :)

hope this info is useful for anyone reading and my best advice would be to actually go out and try a set of rims on in the specs that you want... if worst comes to worst, check rimtuck.com database or ask around! :D

[namtaro]

hrmm you guys need to read the whole thread rather than asking questions, ppl asking about +40-+48 is like 8 mm difference. just look at most the pics and posts people put up and you will know if it fits or not. Only time u start worrying is the wheels have NISSAN offsets. ie. 17x9 +20ish. and also dont go too high as the higher the offsets the closer the inner of the wheels will be to your strut.

Yep. I'm pretty sure most of the fitments people will be wanting info on would have been covered in the 37 pages. As nam was saying on the high offset matter, as a reference I have x9.5+38 235/45 -3 camber, and I am fine.

[MWAKU]

yeah like i honestly dont have time to sift through 37 pages. if i could search it i would be easier, but ppl type it differently and the sample is all over the place

Heres my previous set up.
Rolled guards, 12.5cm drop front and 15cm drop rear.
18x8.5 +20 Front
18x9.5 +17 Rear and -6 camber

impractical and changed tires every 3 months... =(

The best site to check "low offset wheels [CL9]" is TSXCLUB.com, the guys up there run some jaw dropping fitments.

One of the guys on there is running 18x10.5 all round. and not wide body, but need to run massive camber.

depends how wide the tyres are gonna be?

If your going for anything wider then 215 then most likely yes, if you lower the car.

[Fredoops]

;3062913']depends how wide the tyres are gonna be?

If your going for anything wider then 215 then most likely yes, if you lower the car.

is there an calculator somewhere to tell me what tyres I CAN use for any give size of rims?

[MWAKU]

^ huh. 7.5 +40 will fit fine under the guards with room, and ull probably wanna run 205 if anything not 215/

i was tucking at the rear on x9 +40, i didn't really need to roll my guards, but i did anyway. and pull/bending outside the guards is extreme, u wont need to.

[Fredoops]

ok.. conflict of info.... /confused

[MWAKU]

well, im not tucking at the front, but ive got x8 +40 at the front, so i know at the rear for sure it wont rub or anything, but for the fronts, im not 100%, but im still certain that u wont need to roll ur guards for a 7.5 +40, i think the stock wheels are +6.5 +45? so its only like a 1inch difference isnt it?

[Fredoops]

16x6 +50 i think

[[SDCTVE]]

ok.. conflict of info.... /confused

if your gonna lower the car and gonna put anything wider then 215 then yes, go with that.

follow the link i posted earlier, you can calculate tyre size aswell. from memory I think 215 is the least u can go on 7.5 rims.

that's not how offset works, its not automatically one inch closer to the guard cos the rim is one inch wider.

stock 03 euro rims are 6 inch wide with an offset of +55

[Fredoops]

so go for the 7.5 but get skinny tyres?
sorry im a rim noob

[[SDCTVE]]

yes, go for toyo proxes t1r 215/40 R18 (theyre 18's right??)

Yep, the 6 spoke, i think they look alright and i might even repaint them bronze.
Dunno if they are heavy tho, i'm trying to keep the weight the same or less than the stockie's 9kg.

[dee-y]

btw Fred those specs you don't need any guard work. My previous setup was x8 +38 and it cleared everything easily (hence why I chose to go x9.5 lol)

[jzx_andy]

alright looking at a set of rotas in 18x8.5 +48

i just wanna know whats the best fitment i can achieve with 1.5 finger gap, having camber at -2 degrees, no more than that!

im thinking of smashing on a 10mm spacer for the fronts on natural camber (if the fronts even camber in at that height :P ), (18x8.5 +38), as that would look pretty nice

not too sure about the rears... what's the flushest setup you guys have seen that has not required guard work or camber?


tyres would be 225/40/18

8.75? thats a strange size, with a +35 offset I think it may be too close to the struts, and if you run spacers it'll prob stick out too far.
just a guess, could be wrong, best thing to do is call a wheel place, they usually have a fitting guide, they can tell you what will fit n what wont.

only have 8.75
JDMyard sell those XXR

[d_evilz]

anyone has this setup :
18x8.5 +30
any problems? any messing around like rolling guard's etc etc

[civicVI]

;3068310']8.75? thats a strange size, with a +35 offset I think it may be too close to the struts, and if you run spacers it'll prob stick out too far.
just a guess, could be wrong, best thing to do is call a wheel place, they usually have a fitting guide, they can tell you what will fit n what wont.

will contact JDM YARD to confirm

[TRaNz]

civicIV and d_evilz, both your setups will require guard rolling front and rear with trimming of the inner guard liner and rear tab removal.

[d_evilz]

aw dam it, didnt wanna have to do any of those and i was getting a good deal for the wheels i wanted :(
time to look around more.
would having +42 offset make a difference?

[TRaNz]

yeah +42 should be fine, just may have to run 215 instead of 235 or 225 sized tires.
How low are you and do you have camber kit?

alright looking at a set of rotas in 18x8.5 +48

i just wanna know whats the best fitment i can achieve with 1.5 finger gap, having camber at -2 degrees, no more than that!

im thinking of smashing on a 10mm spacer for the fronts on natural camber (if the fronts even camber in at that height :P ), (18x8.5 +38), as that would look pretty nice

not too sure about the rears... what's the flushest setup you guys have seen that has not required guard work or camber?


tyres would be 225/40/18

cheers!


anyone? :(

thanks mate
not really want to roll guards
if use 215/45 tyres will it be any problems without roll guards?

[TRaNz]

mmm, for 18s, preferred profile would be 40. Although even then with the sizing you wanted, the rears would still rub on the rear bumper tab and a bit of the guard. Rolling is still needed.
Of course this is going by the assumption you are like 1 - 1.5 finger gap lows.

[civicVI]

where did you roll your guards?how much? i am in melbourne as well
i am now running on 17 x 7.5 +45 so wannna to upgrade to bigger one
and lower on tein SS coilcover

[TRaNz]

I had it does a while back by Gavin from LowDown Guard Rolling. It used to be 60bux a corner, but now i noticed hes upped the pricing lots =[
Do you have a rear camber kit?


and jzx_andy
them specs with the 10mm spacer may start to rub at the front a bit without fender work.
for the rears, depending how low you are and with camber kit or not, you will rub slightly again.

[civicVI]

no i didnt have camber front and rear
60 bux is fair
if more then that ....... thats no good

Hi guys. Got some low offset wheels 18x8 +37 front and 18x9 +32 rear i plan to drop to about 2 finger gap. What i need to know is what tyre sizes should i go for? Lowest profile i wanna go is 45 but would like to know how to get that stretched look with decent amount of rubber.

[[SDCTVE]]

I'm not sure the 9's will fit....

I would go 8 all round with 225/40 tyres, that should fit fine.

45 for a profile is an aspect ratio, the width of your tire will determine that. eg 225/45 18 - sidewall will be 3.99 inches, 245/45 18 - sidewall will be 4.34 inches. so it will vary depending on width.

[BLKWLF]

Already previously asked if the 9's would fit and replies were "no probs". Some guys here are running 10's/11's if you read the whole thread. 45 profile, i meant about the sidewall. Want a bit of a streched look, but stiil want some rubber on them. Was thinking 225/45 front and 235/45 rear but need to know for sure.

[MingZai]

17x9 +17 wouldn't fit the euro would it :(

[ricerockets]

17x9 +17 wouldn't fit the euro would it :(

you eyeing them cr kais ming? haha :p

[MingZai]

yeah i am :(

[Fredoops]

yeah i am :(

Lol 17x9....
Hellaflush maybe... Then your car wont work well.. In fact it can't go anywhere. :-p

[MingZai]

lmao yeah some tsxs are running 17x9 just more worried about the offset... 17 lmao

[Fredoops]

lmao yeah some tsxs are running 17x9 just more worried about the offset... 17 lmao

17 offset is BEYYYYYOOOONNNNDDDD Flush.

[MingZai]

man I'm noob when it comes to wheels... I don't even know what flush means lmao... I just figured out that 17x9 + 17.. 17 = diameter of the wheel, x9 = the inches of the rim yeah? or something like that and the +17 is the offset...
