Hey I have a question.

I recently purchased rims with a +38 offset (MB Motoring Drifter). Is that a too big of an offset? Any effects I should watch out for? I have a Honda Accord LX 2005. Should I lose sleep over this?

Thanks In Advance

 

What size rim? (Need to know diameter + width + offset to know if a rim will fit.) What size tire do you plan on running? Are you lowered or do you plan to lower your car?

 

6X7 5-100/114 38SM this rim (MB Motoring Drifter)
215/55R-16 93W BSW these tires (Kumho ASX)

I do not plan on lowering the car. I just wanted to upgrade my stock steel wheels.

 

38 should be FINE. I am personally running 18x8 et29 front, 18x9 et36 rear. no rubbing.

 

i am mostly worrying about the wear and tear on the suspension not really the rubbing as i am not looking into lowerin my car...

 

Theoretically, pushing the rim further out (lower offset) puts more strain on the joints, bearings, and so on. Will it make a noticeable difference? Probably not. I wouldn't worry about it.

 

Yep, theroitically it should add some wear. I ran 7.5" wide, et37 wheels for over a year with out any wear issues.
