I just came across a set of drag slicks that my cousin had borrowed from my brother a while back that was used on his 1G DSM. I do believe that they're 22x8 slicks...but I'm not sure what offset wheel to use. Any suggestions?

 

bump for an answer

 

what model car and what brakes?

 

'94 Honda Civic DX hatchback...stock brakes.

Lowered on Tokico Illumina Adjustables with Eibach Sportline springs (about 1.5" of wheel gap in the front)

 

4" or 5" backspacing will work best

5" will bring the wheel further into the wheel well

4" will push it out a bit more

personally i like the 5" option -- most of the time and most setup's don't have to run spacers on stock civic brakes -- you will have to run a spacer with a gsr brake setup

 

What about the offset on the wheel? I think the stock wheels (and the ones I currently have on my car) are around a +42 offset.

 

some drag wheels dont go by offsets, they go by back spacing, only ones i know of that go by offset, are lensos, those are +15 i believe, others like welds, bogart, etc etc go by back spacing, since your using stock brakes u can just get some lensos, or a wheel with a 4 inch back spacing

 

the Exospeed VPD 13x7.5, formerly known as Lenso, are +25 offset. which comes out to about 4.5" backspace

 

Anybody know of a 15x8 race wheel?

I've looked at the Lensos (which look clean by the way) and only see them in a 13x7.5


EDIT: Scratch that, I found some Welds
