Hi everyone! This is my first message here! Im writing from Italy and because of our strict laws i am forced to have 14 inch wheels on an EG hatch, any bigger and im in big trouble! I would like to buy Advan Racing's RCII in 14X6 4X100, but im not sure if the 35mm offset would be ok, as this is my first car and i am absolutely not an expert on wheels.. My car is lowered by about 3 inches, and I have 185/60 r14 tires.
Can I safely buy these wheels?

Thanks a lot!

I think most people here only run stock 14's, hx's and such. Try getting ahold of advan

I think a 35mm offset would stick the wheel way out the fender well. I would recommend 20mm or lower so that it tucks in. This are my "estimates" and my opinions, others may vary....

you have it backwards. a +35 will tuck the wheel more inward than +20 offset wheels. a +35mm offset wheel will work just fine on a 14x6. you can even run a +25 offset if you want.

Thanks, I hate offsets

SkyGTR

Thanks but is it the same if it is 35 and not +35?
Oh, and what do you mean highroller try getting ahold of advan? aren't they any good?
I really wanted the RG but it seams it is not in production any more because they made the RG2, which starts from 15" , damn! The SSR Type C is also really cool i think but I cant find much info on it...
But if a 35mm works just like the +35 then i will probably go for the RC2, i found them on vividracing at a reasonable price

there are positive and negative offsets. most commonly, you will only hear about positive offsets because there are not many cars that still use 0 or negative offsets. it is safe to assume when people say 35 offset, it is a +35 mm offset.

SkyGTR

Thanks, actually I think I've changed my mind on the Advans, I found SSR's website and I will try to buy the Type C. With 185/60 R14 tires do I need the 14 X 5.0J or the 14 X 6.0J?

Thanks.

littleredcivic

get the 6 or 6.5 if they have it. don't use the 5 inch, it will fit bad and look like crap.

SkyGTR

So the wheel size doesnt depend on the tires? I can fit different wheel widths on my 185/60 R14, thats interesting Im just starting to learn about tires and wheels so im sorry for my ignorance. Ive sent an email to tanabe for information on where to buy the ssr type c, does anyone know of an online dealer who has them? tirerack doesnt

littleredcivic

i don't know where you are located, but if you are in the so cal area, try discount tire in the valley mall , el monte, ca. you can put different tires on different size wheels, there is an acceptable range for each mix. you can even stretch 14x7 if you want and still use 185/60r14 if you want...but it comes close to the limit.

SkyGTR

I live in Italy, quite a long way from Cal
so I would need some online shop... do you know any apart from tirerack?

littleredcivic

im sure you can find a local shop in italy. but no, i don't know another online shop. i can get you the wheels if you want them. i just don't know the price unless you are serious about it.

Sorry to get a bit OT here. I found a set of 14x6" +33mm offset's TE37. I would like to know if it fits well on a 92 Civic or 00' EM1 Si???

littleredcivic

92 yes if it has the smaller brakes... if it has the 10 inch brakes, i dunno...but i think it could because a ls sedan integra has 14 inch and it has 10 inch brakes... EM1, i don't know. offset and width is find, brake clearance is the problem.

SkyGTR

Hi all, I found a site called JDM Yard, they could ship a set of SSR Type C to Italy, so it would be great for me! Does anybody know this website? Is it safe?

They have them in:

gunmetal/bronze/white
+25 +30 +38

Hey
I am also from italy!do u post on hci?
Anyway,i am running 185's on 6j with a 33 offset and 3cm slam,and they just come flush with the fenders!!
Hey guys,you got some pics of hatches with 14s?

SkyGTR

I posted a few times on HCI to ask a few questions
So do you think I will have problems with +30mm with the 14X6? My car is lowered by more than 5cm i think....

P.S. Speak Italian?

darkside788

Ok,i also post on hci!
Of course i speak italian!
5cm??i think you have it lowered by abought 30mm(most common),5 is alot!
Anyway,with an offset of 30,and a 14x6 i dont think you will have any problems!!
I used to have wheels with an offset of 35,now i have 33......
go for it!
