hey whats up im new here and im about to start tearing into my civic and buying some parts ..... i deffinately plan on gettin koni/gc coilovers with the extended top hats ... but what i need help with if figuring out the offset that i wanna put on ... any help would be appreicated .... i wanna go as low as i possibly can and i wanna be flush and im thinkin a 15v8 varrstoen v1 but i just cant figure out the damn offset help me out please

 

First of all, we have no clue what car you're going to try and put these wheels on.

Secondly, have you done anything to the car to increase wheel/tire clearance? If not, then 15x8's won't fit safely.

 

ok ... soo i have a 95 civic ex ... i plann on dropping it quite a bit and i know that i am probably going to have to roll my fenders but i just dont know what offset would be best with these 15x8 .... like if i was to run 15x8 +25 offset would it be sitting to close to the inside and rub on the inside or what... and i dont wanna just try cuz i wanna educate myself on this as much as possible before i go out spendin bread on wheels and tires just to find out that they will not fit

Lower offset number ---> means rim lip is pushed further out towards fender

Higher offset number ---> means innner rim lip is pulled further in towards inner fender.

 

If you're willing to run some negative camber, and roll your fenders/quarter panels significantly, you may be able to clear the 15x8 +25's with a properly sized tire. 15x8 +35's would be easier to fit.

 

toyomatt is all about properly sized tires.. lmao..

theres a thread somewhere, i think in the appearance section that lists peoples wheel/suspension setups. you might wanna check it out.

i feel like 15x8 +25 is okay. but i wouldnt think 15x8 +12 is to difficult to fit. ofcouse.. youre prolly gonna wanna run streched tires..

 

Well, to be fair, its all in the sake of people's safety. I'm not against modifying cars at all... its just that I wouldn't want people to endanger their lives and others in the process.
