Max J/Width on a K12?

[Chris Why]

Hi all, very brief thread but looking at new wheels with 35mm lowering springs, got some quotes coming back for some wolfrace wheels (4/5 sets) but I'm deeply in love with the Lenso BSX wheel.

Only problem is they are a 7.5J if I remember rightly, would this be taking it a bit too far and bugger the steering geometry of my car? It won't be me doing the tracking and what not so it was before I made any decisions rather hastefully..

Depends on the offset

I'm a bit of a noob to this mate so bare with me, is the offset on here somewhere?

That site doesn't seem to state the offset figures.

Had a quick look on http://www.rimstyle.com/pages/will_they_fit.html and it seems to suggest that 7j is the widest you can go on a k12, but I was sure big jord's wheels were 7.5?

The offset is sort of how far the wheel sticks out from the hub,
Well umm the amount of wheel that is inside the hub, ummm
Yeah, I'm not sure how to explain it in words....

Have a look on http://www.willtheyfit.com/ and have a play with the offset in the "setup" table,
look at the sample picture, hopefully that will help you understand what offset is

You're welcome.

They might have been 8j actually...I can't remember, and I can't do a proper search on my tablet, whatever eh? ^_^
