Wheels off set

[CMF_Matthew harrison]

Hey guys, just wondering what a good offset in rims fit the Micra. How I want the wheels to sit are on the guards with the tire then streached over the rim so then the tire fits up under the guard. Thanks.

6.5J or 7J at about +15 as a very rough guide. As for tyre stretch/tucking - you're at the mercy of what tyre width and wheel widths you go for. You're being extremely vague in what you're after and that doesn't help you if you're wanting people to help you.

You can figure all of this out yourself with a ruler with your current rims, since all you're really calculating is the offset from the hub face with the centre line of the wheel. You can also use calculators such as this to find out inner/outer distance clearances:

Yep plus 15 will do.

13x7 +11 155/70/R13 tyres

Worst thing about 13's is that you cant get good quality low proifile tyres for them. Anything over a 50 profile will feel like **** with hard cornering is your car is stiff.

I need a set off Ssr Mk2's in a plus 15 offset.

Ok thanks heeps for that info. Exactly what I wanted to know
I'll bet getting 15x6/6.5 depending what rims I end up liking.

Just got some 15" x 6" 7 spoke rims $300 with tires. I'll post some picks up soon of my k11

Awesome. Sounds like a good buy. Post up pics stat!

 

[CMF_tiSh]

how would this look like?

15x6.5 +40 offset... with 195/50/R15 Tires

 

[CMF_tiSh]

Or this..

13x8 +4 Offset or +40 Offset

15x7 +4/+12/+13/+20/+25/+30//+35/+40 Offset

They are the 2 design wheels I was looking at buying. Only thing is they are very common now. The rims I did get (post picks soon) were just to cheap not to buy. I also got 5rims with tires for $300. The spare was the same

 

[CMF_ndxxx]

both wheels may be common, but both are still an amazing design of wheel

 

[CMF_sikK11]

Both those wheels are great looking wheels the TE37's will look sweet.

 

[CMF_Matthew harrison]

It's a Micra n a daily. I'm happy getting second hand wheels that look like new yes every awsome design. They look good on any car

I dont believe rotas are that crap. It depends on how u abuse ur driving. Btw what are the right offset if using 13x8? +40? Or if using 15x6.5? +35? thanks in advance

I put my 15" rims on last night. Makes it's heavier to steer into car parks ect but well worth it
although it did lift up the car a little so it don't sit as low as I would have liked, compaired to the stockie 13" wheels.
