Actually you want to know another Fad that serves no purpose? Being slammed.

A radical change in the offset does change the geometry of the car and how it handles but not neccessarilly for better or for worse. That usually depends on the driver and what handling characteristics he's looking for.

That which is absolutely retarded is various offsets on the front and rear for a FWD car.

guess it depends on how widely they vary from front to back, I didn't know machos were different sized/offset till I saw the link, and those look damn good IMO

I once asked an Mech. Engineer what he thought about it... it actually made him angry! I LOL'ed.

In a nutshell, different offsets front to back are exclusively for RWD cars which put the power to the rear. The different offset and/or size in the rear is to provide grip where grip is needed via enlarging the tire size or widening the geometry. Now when you do that to a car with zero power to the rear, and a nose heavy car, you're basically f*cking everything up. As if the understeer problems weren't enough with a Honda...

 

understood, but I think if either all 4 wheels are matching offset & width (even the hidious 0 offsets) or if the wider wheels are in the front on a FF car isn't it the same for FFs as well?


Woot for an ownage:

Look at dat purrdy glitter :

I'm not quite sure what you mean. I will tell you this. European hot hatches like the old Renault Clio Williams and Peugeot 106 Rallye's have a shorter wheel base in the rear than they do in the front. This is so the tale has characteristics of a RWD - meaning it's helping it slide ever so slightly to bring the nose into the corner.

Honda EG's and EK's as far as I know have an equaly wheelbase and independent rear suspension which is a vital role for why they mostly Understeer.

Add a lower offset to it's equal wheel base and you'll have zero slide keeping the front from turining in, and you going off the cliff.

 

what I'm saying is the bigger/lower offset wheels in front and smaller/higher offset in the rear to create the effect of what you're talking about I'm tired so probabl;y didn't word it right

Wider tires in the front will cause other problems on your typical Honda. Your steering angel could become limited, and it could backfire creating understeer again. Not to mention it'll look retarded and be more expensive.

It's something I will have to ask my Engineer friend one day, because your question does have strong merit.

I'll ask the guy I work on the racecar for, and see what he says too(doesn't have a degree in engineering, but does have a masters in some kind of physics and seems to have read every god damn book about tuning every type of car known to man LOL.

Also macho's the ultimate wheel ***** so when he does a staggered fitment(even if it's only a small difference) it must be for a good reason....maybe when he comes in here again he can share some light on the subject as well

**** didn't even catch wheel base being misuesed for track LOL.

oh **** man sorry to hear ...I'm guessing something with reno?

A guy who actually goes to the track and has theoretical background knowledge would probably be the best person to ask.

My friend whist an Engineer is also my mechanic, and tunes cars but has zero racing expirience. He did do his masters degree spending most of his time in F1 wind tunnels though while he lived in England.

Well I'm out ******. Off to class for me.

Jon DO NOT SELL OUT YOU CHEAP *****!

thats bananas,I didnt know making a car look badass was a fad

and besides,I dont think you can call something thats been done on hondas for 15 years a fad anymore...but low offset wheels..thats a fairly new thing.

 

sorry to hear Jon, atleast the car was being used hard when the motor blew.. build her back up, better then ever!

****, i keep sleeping through my alarm, and missing my first class.. haha

hahah Sasha you and Jimmy need to stop listening to Gwen Stefani in the car!

Slamming cars is definetly not a new thing, Citroen has been doing it since the late 60's with hydropneumatic suspension.

But when you slam your car to Kurt & Jimmy levels, half of our little Honda's function is tossed out the window.

As for wide offset wheels, definetly not a fad thats new... We've been doing that in Europe for over 20 years.

yeah but Noel is selling a complete swap.

Jon,get a b20/LS/16 longblock..you know it'll run you less than a grand.

what happened to the b16 though?

on hondas? I think not.

I was just reffering to hondas..not low offset wheels in general

Im still sure it caught on here after europe..but still..its a fairly new thing.

but function? screw function on my way to work and back. If Im going to use the car for competitive purposes,all I need is 15 mins to raise it to where I want it.

 

by what he said, sounds like he dropped a valve, or just totally destroyed a piston same thing happend to a buddy of mine while he was at a road course.. while in a long turn, had stock unbaffled oil pan, all the oil shifted to one side, starved the egine of oil.. ka-boom

 

Thanks for the comments on the Celica guys...I miss that car at times, but I'm really enjoying the Del Sol now that I seem to have the kinks worked out of it, and I'm glad I switched over to a Honda.

Dirty Octopus, I preferred the old wheels, but I think the new ones look good as well.

It's because the H22 doesn't fit under the stock hood.

Damn that looks great, and personally the red looks fine.

But dang. I could've sworn those are 0 offset instead of +15. When I was buying mine it was either +38 or 0. Still.

":edit: Does anyone know what wheel did sportmax copy for that design? I have heard its a knockoff of some old oldschool rim but I dont konw what or if thats true?

Yes Honda's too. Maybe not in Bosnia but it was definetly going on.

 

Morning
Sorry to hear jon , did u ever sell the green one up in seattle?

I knew once I fell asleep james would be all over the thread lol
