I would like them to be within the arches and not poking out.

I tried some 16X7 but they stick out like 1 inch.

 

That's all offset chief. I've had 17x7 on my teg and Civic and had no problems, but then again, I have the proper offset. What's the offset on those, 10?

 

The 7 in that 16x7 isn't the reason they're poking out like that. I'm on 16x7's but with a higher offset.

What wheels are those?

The offset on them is too low for that car.

 

Whats offset and what does the number (i.e. +35, +40) for offset represent? What affects offset? Im not familiar with that stuff

 

to make it kinda easy..think of offset as how staggerd the wheel looks on the car...there are wheels that are already made staggerd with the proper offset so that you can still obtain the same look but also keep near perfect camber and toe angle..go into the autocross and road race threads for examples of what im talkin about

 

wow is that like a 0 offset? good luck gettin those to fit haha

I think i get what youre saying. Thanks for the simple explanation and where to look to more info

 

no doubt..some folks think HT is made to flame people when its made to help..unless your a die-hard ricer and just really deserve it..

 

i hope my 16x7 off.+40 will fit my ek.

lmao. yeah, so far, ive gotten nothing but help from H-T users. And the FAQ's give me hours of awesome technical reading material

From what ive seen, people dont normally get flamed unless they did something to merit it hahah.

 

Yes, they will fit GuCBlackEk. +40 is the typical cookie-cutter offset.

 

offset is the distance of the hub part of the wheel from the center of the wheel on the inside or the outside. Say the hub area is directly in the middle. That would be 0 offset. If the hub is far on the inside, giving a super fat lip look, that is negative offset. Going farther to the outside and thus shrinking the lip is heading in the direction of positive offset.

Here's a good explanation with pictures if you don't completely understand yet:

A 7 inch wide wheel will fit well under an EK wheel arch, provided it's a decent positive offset, such as +35 or +40

It will. +33 is about flush with the wheelwell on a 7 inch rim. +40 is about 7mm sunken in.

I've seen +0 on a em1. it's a whole lot of camber and 195s rubbing on rolled fenders. Looks good just sitting there though.

Edit: I have a pic actually -

These are BBS RS wheels.

offset is 25

 

blue si that car is clean who is the owner of that car zero offset clownin

 

i had +13 offset on a 6 in wide rim

the rears sat super flush!
the fronts stuck out a bit.

once i took my car off jackstands, the wheels cambered in and it sat better.

my fronts were still rubbing with rolled fenders.

Think about a 0 offset as the hub of the wheel is right on the centerline. So a 8'' wheel with a 0 offset would have 4'' of wheel poking into the fender and 4'' of wheel poking outward.

If you move the wheel hub towards the outboard end of the wheel from 0, you're going positive. That will "suck" the wheel into the fender as you go more and more positive.

If you move the wheel hub towards the inboard end of the wheel from 0, you're going negative. You will push the wheel out of the fender as you go smaller offsets.

Offset is in millimeters. +45 means the wheel hub is 45mm outboard from centerline (0). Get it?

Example: Wheels with a big deep dish or big concave will have a smaller offset as compared to the width.


Usually, with a 16X7, you should try something like a +40 to +45 or so offset for easy civic fitment.

 

the rear was worst and it hit the upper arm

 

lolwtf. buy wheels that fit your car. holy crap.

 

lol owned.


[freak] it dude, bozosuku that bitch.

... you sure those are 7" wide? The 25 offset should make them stick out farther and clear the arm with ease. Something isn't right here, I thought that looked stupid far out for a 16x7 +25.
