Negative offset and deep dish question....

[Hemma]

Good evening folks,

 

Quick question: Is it a must to have fender flares for the following wheel sizes? Or can I  get fenders pulled?

just

Front: 15x8j ET-5

Rear: 15X10J ET-32

 

Thanks

The 8's will probably fit but theres no way the 10's are going to fit, especially with a -32 offset.

[andyk_79]

Agree - the 8's will probably fit if you get your guards rolled.

First,

Lets find out,,, on what car?

 

On a ZX body it is surprising what can fit, a bit f rear lipping and the old baseball bat, with a bit of back and forth action, and fitment of that "sucked in" tyre look, the neg32's may make it!

 

I have a few sets f new in box Watanabe knockoff's in 15x9 at neg 13, on a Z body, yes work needed, on a ZX body, they just sneak in ncely!

Try a website called "Will they fit". Should give you the answer you're looking for.

In a 240z Im thinking the -5 will not fit...15x8 in a zero or +4 yes.. -5 has to be getting damn close to the perch.

you are getting it confused.  A negative offset will be further away from the perch than a 0 of positive offset as the back space is lower.

 

To the original poster. You will need big flares for the 10 with a -32 bigger than zg flares more like the group 4 type flares.

negative positive......damn I hate wheels

 

[chris240]

Yep my wrong.. Negative is out, positive is in. 

 

[phillay]

what car?

 

if it's a 240z, 10 wide with -32 offset, it would be poking even with flares.

 

I have 9.5 - 14 or something and it's 1mm from the flares.

Hi, whats the deepest dish wheels that can be fitted into a 240z without wanting to put flares?

Does anyone knows whats the specs of this wheels? I only know its 14"

[gav240z]

That guard has been flared..

[locklock]

Wow gavin.. your eyes so sharp.. I couldnt tell..

Whats the deepest rim it can go without flaring? I want to the wheels something like the red car but dont want to flare.

I have 17x10 -32 and with oversize zg flares and 255's on the rear ... they just fit inside the flare.

[Agno]

I have 15x8 -3 and I wouldn't really want to go much further -ve... I put a 15x8 -11 on for testing purposes once which looked like this:

 

 

Personally I like a bit less poke so I can run some nice wide tyres for period correctness

[SGR65]

Food for thought. I probably should put a disclaimer up for haters and keyboard warriors... but meh.

 

So my current setup is 15X7 with zero offset running 225/50's. See pics.

 

 

 

Now this sounds very daring and hear me out. But I'd love to run a dish with neg offset;

Lets say I was to go for the 15X10 on rear, and providing that the tyre is stretched to a degree.. these are the following measurements I came up with with a -26, a -12 and zero offset;

 

 

Thoughts? If that's too extreme, maybe the Atara's 15X9 -13 offset running a 235/45/15

 

 

 

[dat2kman]

Have 3 sets f Atara here ready to freight.

Their fronts with a stretched tyre will jst get under a standard front guard, but rears with a stetched tyre will get very clse.

Rear lips will need work.

Pic f these Ataras on a Z.

For once I agree with the Yanks, measure wheels by backspace, much simpler that way. And of course tyre sizes and ride height can make a lot of difference to clearances, it's not all about the wheels.

 

Looking for SGR65's 'haters and keyboard warriors', looking, looking.........
