What is the stock offset on LS/GS/GSR rims?

What is the stock width of LS/GS?GSR Rims?

What is the ideal offset for the 15" 5x7" Kosei K1's on Integras?

They come in Offset sizes:

17
27
38
45

An offset of 38, the wheels will stick out of the fender more? Is that right?

What is the ideal tire size?

What is pros of having a wider rim? 7" vs 6.5" per say?

 

well. i'd say go with the 38's would be the most appropriate cuz the others are just ridiculous and with teh 45 i'm pretty damn sure you'll rub. but depends on your drop too and the tires you get.

 

Anyone else?

 

I have the Kosei K1 on my 95 LS. I think the off set is 38. I'm using 205/50/R15 tires so the rim is balanced to a better fit. They do stick out a bit but thats cured by rolling the fenders with a bat.

 

I think the stock rims are 15x6@45mm offset.

Using the offset calculator:

15x7@38mm
The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 6mm LESS
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 20mm

15x7@45mm
The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 13mm LESS
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 13mm

38mm you risk rubbing outside on the fender
45mm you risk rubbing inside on the wheel well
40mm+ looks like your best bet from what I can tell. You can achieve this by using spacers on the 45mm wheels

Thanks.

Just another bump.

 

I run 16*7 slipstreams with a 40+ offset and no problems. I have heard of people running the 16*7 slipstreams with a 45+ offset with no problems either. So 40 or 45 and you should be fine as long as the car isn't slammed like 2.5 inches.

 

sorry to bring back a thread from the dead, but i want to know what the original poster ended up doing. i've got some 15x7 kosei k1's +38 available to me for cheap, and i've been reading threads on offset all stinking morning.

did you end up buying the +38? +45?

 

I'm running 15x7 K1's in 38 offset with 205/55/15 Dunlop SP5000
for my everyday wheels

works fine
i think 38 fits better than 45, on my car
