hey guys i was wondering if that offset would be okay for my R. if not what is the best offset running stock calipers. thanks guys

 

Well, the stock offset is +50, but stock wheels are 6" wide...thus the mf10's will stick out an extra half inch...but it won't be noticeable. Mugen designed them wtih +50 offset for a reason

 

The OEM Honda Integra wheels are +50 even in the 16x7 size, and we know that works OK with 215-45-16.

The Spoon 16x7 are +45, and IMHO that looks a little teeny bit better and is a good idea if you're using Azenis or R comps.

The popular offset these days for 15x7 seems to be +38 or +40, but many of us end up rolling the rear for clearance with wide tyres.

Wrong the wheels wont stick out a half inch, the offset is the only thing that determines how much it sticks out. A 15x6 and 15x7 both at +50 will both stick out the same ammount.

you just contradicted yourself dude.

you said yourself, the offset determines how far out your wheel sticks out.

given a wider wheel, its feasible that the wheel will stick out more depending on which side of the wheel the extra 1" is thrown on.

Thanks man, that graphic proves my point. there is a 1" difference between a 6" wheel and a 7" wheel...i assume you could figure that out. Half of 1" is 1/2"...thus on either side of the centerline of the wheel will be an extra 1/2"...the offset as you quoted is the distance from the mounting hub surface to the centerline...thust if they have the same offset but there is an extra 1/2" of wheel on either side of the centerline they will stick out AND in an extra 1/2"....


pwned by your own diagram

Yeah whatever.

 

thanks guys

 

you're welcome.

 

Hey man, no hard feelings...I had a KOALA in my Calc class in college and he wasn't very good at math either
