oh yeah i understand that, but how much do they need to be cambered to tuck under the gaurds lol.....im thinking best to be safe than sorry in that case, else id have to get my gaurds stretched

btw offset can affect performance as it alters your track ie the lower the offset, the larger the track

To give you an idea of dish, I've got 18x9.5 +24 meisters on the front of my 180 and it has roughly 9cm of dish

whoa, what car is that for, would that not stick out on a gtst, do you have any pics of it on your car???thatd be great to see a gtst with some meisters on it:)

[phunky_monkey]

nah, they're on a widebody 180

Just letting you know so you can get an idea on size/offset

here's a pic, sorry about the size

Quick question, i currently have on my car:

18x8.5 (235/40/18) ?offset

18x9.5 (265/35/18) ?offset

these are dtm wheels, once i have my own offsets figured out, how can i measure how much more +offset i can get both front and rear???basically how do you work out offset, i can use my own wheels as a guide i guess, before importing in the meisters.

ive attached a few pics with current wheels.

thanks mate, great help:) cheers

[phunky_monkey]

no worries man, good luck with it

one quick question again lol, umm when i have figured out the offsets and wheel sizes of my current car, if i was to get the exact same offset/wheel size and tyre for my new work meisters, will it more a less look the same from the guard etc....or is each wheel slighlty different?

[phunky_monkey]

should be exactly the same dude

[nsta]

thanks, that makes things a heap more easy:)

Also even though you might have the right offset, for an R33, make sure the fronts have high disk clearance otherwise the spokes might hit the calipers.

Dammit everytime i read into wheel and tyre talk i get confused. 8.5 this 9.5 that offset something else. Can someone explain what each means?
