I'm about to buy some 5zigen rims they're 5zr copse. I believe the width is 8 in the rear and 7 in the front. They are 18x8 all around. 225/45-18 rear and 225/40-18 front. I was wondering what offsets can be used on 97-01 ludes??

 

45+ but with 18x8...i dunno 48+?

 

There's a guy on this thread with a black lude lowered on MB Weapons 17x8 +43 offset on tein basic coilovers and he says no rubbing issues.

 

If I'm thinking of the same guy, he was also running narrow tires for an 8" wheel. I believe they were some stretched 205's. A wider tire (225) should fit better with a +48 or so.

 

Finally got the rims and found out that the offset was 42. I got it on car, drove around for awhile and it rubs when I turn and when I go over bumps. My lude is lowered on kyb agx shocks w/ ground control coilover. Any ideas? Should I resell or trade it?? and get another set of rims?? If so what offsets on 18's or 17's fit best?

 

take out the fender linings roll your fenders and subtract some camber!

 

I'm running 17x8 with a +32 offset and 225/45/17 tires and a 1.5 inch drop. Even with rolled fenders in the rear I still rub a little.

That would be me ha ha Im runnin 215's right now and no issue's with rubbin but next set of tires are gonna be 225's and Im droped all the way on tein basics... also had 17x7.5 +38 offset on before i got the 17x8's and still didnt rub.

 

How come yours don't rub and mine rubs?? any ideas? do you have camber kit?? cause I do and I dont know how low I dropped it cause it's an coil over kit. As a matter of fact I'll take some pix today and post it up. I'll show yall how wide it's sticking out.
