looking at new wheels
 

ok, i have the 18" black TRD wheels currently on my RS1. i'm gonna be changing that soon after i get it back from the bodyshop. i'm looking at a set of 16x8 SportMax XXR 002's on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/16-16x8-XXR-...sories&vxp=mtr


it says it has an offset of +0, is that factory? sorry, i don't know much about offset.

+38 is our stock offset i believe


im looking at some XXRs also. 17x9 with +0 offset.

idk that just seems a little too much poke. maybe its me.

i'd just like to see a pic of a D running it.

get ready to do loads of fenderwork to make it look good.

i was running 9.5 w/ 215/45/17 +31 offset , rolled fenders, and had wheel poke. you'll have a good half inch+ of poke more than what i was running.

edit: this is what 17x9+0 will be similar to (his specs are slightly more aggressive):

so what kind of offset would you recommend looking at for a 17x9? i dont want the poke like xdking has in the picture, but i do want a big lip on the wheel. would that wheel size work with a different offset so it wouldn't poke soo much?

i have BBS RS on the way 16x9 et21 for the rear. 2.5in lip. if my measurements are right that will put me close to where xDTool was in terms of poke.

17x9 +24 will put you exactly where i was at on 9.5 +31. +/- a couple mm wont hurt anything so +20 - +30 should all have similar fitment.

my fitment was spot on:

epic. thats what i was looking for. the fronts are et45 so ill need to space them out. 25mm about right yea? its only 16x8 1in lip for the front

sounds about right, should be close fitment. with x8s you can go slightly lower, but +20 would be good fitment

i ended up getting the XXR 002s in black w/polished lip. 16x7, +38 offset. should be here within the next week.

Nice i'm also on the hunt to find rs

where i got mine. they also have a lot of services like redrill/refinish, and offer replacement lips.

heres what i have my eyes on!!

liking the specs on those. should be pretty nice fitment.

i hope so. i thought they were +20 on the offset. but the +25 should still give a good fit. hopefully not too much poke and no rubbing issues

nlmotoring is a great site...That's where I got my rims...

sub...what size and specs are your wheels? i love the lip on them

i think he's 18x8 et35.

:adminpower:You are correct...My rims are the Axis Decades which are now discontinued...Even though they have the same offset the rear rims have what's called the Maxxis lip...The rear lip is huge which is what drew me towards them...
