Wassup everyone my Name is Oscar Just picked up my s2k
\
thinking about throwing some new wheels on it, its riding on some Buddy club coilovers
I seen a couple of thread with people rocking similar offsets but am I getting in over my head will alot of fender rolling be necessary
anyways here are my current wheel setups I'm looking at dont flame me I'm on a budget lol
18x9.5+20
p45R

Torques


Grids

LEmans


I plan on getting some nicer wheels when I make some more money

any tire suggestions
comments let me know

 

i have that size in work cr kai on my car. and i have an amuse wide body.....so those will stick out wayyyyyy too far. you can go 9.5 no prob. but 20 offset is way to low.

 

http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=456737

check that out its all people with 45 and below offsets. you will be able to find what you need there no prob.

 

No way those are fitting...

 

at least not with stock fenders

 

I know I might have to roll the fenders and I plan on streching the tires a tad bit also

 

There not going to fit with a roll either... Don't stretch the tires dude, you don't drive a 240. How about just driving the car around for awhile until you get used to it.

 

dude...

you would have to make the car into a widebody to get those to fit...I don't think you are comprehending how ridiculous those would look on a stock S2K, with or without pulled/rolled fenders....wouldn't matter.

Roller skates, anyone?

 

theres a guy on s2ki rotorracing i believe his name is. he has 18x9.5 20 offset rota p45r and its retarded. trust me your not going to be able to fit those with rolling. that size sits flush with my wide body

 

I think I'm probably gonna have to go with +38 offset
here are some examples of the look I'm going for





these s2ks all have similar offsets and wheels sizes.

 

and all of those (except the 1st one) look like hack jobs and like pile of ****

but hay its your car go ahead and devalue the **** outta your car

 

that rio cant take no more on those fenders and if thats what you going for get ready to roll,pull+alot of camber

 

op: poke FTW

 

performance FTW

 

offset has nothing to do with performance.

only performance loss would be from stretched tires, if he did that. but most people man up and let it rub. i rubbed like hell on my e46 but aggressive wheels is where its at.

 

This is incorrect, the offset has a lot to do with performance.

No one tracks their car on rollerskates for a reason...It's purely cosmetic, and hinders performance.

 

please explain. how far your wheel is from the Hub has no effect whatsoever unless you run into backspacing problems.

 

Please dont post if u have no clue about offsets. Theres alot of info u need to know about before u hate on somebody!

 

who? me?

all i deal with is offsets. im a side retailer for DPE.

i just made 19x10 +15 for my A4

i see the dude up there edited his post. if youre saying that less width and more offset hinder performance then sure.

but more width wont work 80% of the time because you will run into backspacing problems. when you add width you need to add a more aggressive offset, depending on the width of the wheel and fender that its in, youll probably end up rubbing on the inside.

but to say offset has a lot to do with performance is NOT true. especially in the op's case. i always believe that more width and more offset is best.

 

Nope i wasnt talkin about u!

 

oh. alright then. haha

 

The rio also had to be repainted. I've seen it in person. I know the owner of the black one. The black one's front fenders needed to be repainted as well.

It's not a bolt in type of wheel fitment. You have to roll the fenders. You have to add in a ton of negative camber and usually use very small tire sizing.

So you're going to "save money" on those Rotas only to spend it all on a repaint.

You can do a more subtle fitment that doesn't require you to do body work but still looks flush.

 

hahaha this made me laugh... nooo most people man up and buy proper rims that either fit with no modification, or will do the necessary adjustments to make it work without rubbing... why would you want to chip the paint on your car after you spent all that money on it??? just so you can be aggressive???

and offsets and performance will definitely play a roll on the OP's car... the proper tire to run on a 9.5" rim is a 265 i believe... tell me how hes going to fit a 265 with a +20 offset on a stock body??? he'd have to run like -10* camber... that **** would look soooo bow legged... and if he used a 235 or a 225 to make it work, then the tire is way stretched... in either case a stock S would out perform the OP's rim/tire selection... in conclusion performance FTW

 

hey bro u can get those wheels on there no problem just would have to roll ur fenders but what kind of coilovers are you running and if there the full damper kit ....... seen one rolling the other day had no problems at all just need the right set up

 

nice job bumping a thread almost two years.
