Good evening S2K gurus... well basically i drive a 98 civic, and im going to be using MUGEN calipers
(which are practically the same as front s2k calipers) and 11.8 front rotors as my DIY big brake kit... yes i've done my research and did all the needed mods inorder for me to do this. yes it works! & now all i need are wheels.

My question is whats the lowest offset can i run???
I was suggested +15 on 16x8 wheels..

-im going with 16's so that my caliper/rotor can clear the inner wheel
-yes i want it to be "x8" want that W I D E look...
- but the main question is, the offset alright?? (+15)
-can i go lower but still have enough caliper clearance from behind the spokes? or should i just stick with that offset?

thanks again guys for your feedback.

 

i saw a sick civic with 17x10's with a 18 offset, you should rock that

 

are you serious?! lol...
OK........... anyways im not asking what size by what size wheels... what im asking for is how low can i go as far as offsets...

 

I have no idea what you are asking.. 16x8 +15 on what chassis?

 

its stated in the beginning of my thread "98 civic" obviously its an EK chassis... i just want know how low of an offset i can run without hitting the caliper from behind the spokes...

 

Offset has nothing to do with Brake caliper clearance. The measurement you should be concerned with is the distance from the back of the spoke to the mating surface of the wheel, not from the mating surface to the back lip of the wheel.

Different manufactuers call this measurement different things. Kodiak, for example, calls this the "critical dimention".

besides its not how low, its how high you can go. the higher the number the more sunk the wheel is into the wheel well

 

We would not be able to answer this for you as it's not going to be the same clearance as it would be on an S2000.You just need to bust out the ruler and measure.

Greyout is correct, its not just about off-sets (yes they can matter) but wheel face design. Higher end manufactures usually have a few "disk" options.

 

oh ok thanks guys so i'll just have to do measurments of my own. thanks again!

 

Did you buy these from a guy in NorCal that had this in a 4x100 fitment?

 

just as a refrence point the stock s2k wheels ap1 andap2 the front offset is 55 and if ur runing spoons or rotas in a 16x7 and want to clear the spoon caliper u need a 35et

 

no...

no im not going to be using spoon wheels nor calipers. nor rotas lol. but thanks for the info bro.
