phunky_monkey Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/102548-work-wheels/page/2/#findComment-1890802 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsta Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 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.

n15m0 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 check out the recommended offsets here, click on Nissan. http://www.takakaira.com/rimsandtyres/rimsandtyresindex.asp 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.

Xizor Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 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? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/102548-work-wheels/page/2/#findComment-1941403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
