Wheel Offsets

[justin911]

hey ppls

im just wondering how do ppl with r33 gtsts manage to run +30 offset on there front tyres ??

mine are +32 with 17x45x235 tyres and they sometimes rub against the guards when im turning and going over bumps quickly etc...

how do all you other ppl do it without having issues ???

my rear wheels are +34 offset so they rub abit.. but you can see they stick out of the guards alittle bit so i know why there rubbing..

also.. just to confirm +20 offset means the wheels stick out of the guards more than say +35 offset ya ?

so in the theory +30 would rub more than +32 ???

thanks

Yep +20 sticks out more than +35....

Yeah you got it right

How much camber are you running? This makes a big difference with if it rubs on the guards or not.

I have the same size front rims and tyres and there is a big difference between when I run 3deg camber and 1deg. On 1deg its pretty much flush with the guard, but on 3deg is sits in a fair bit, 20-30mm

well previously with the stock suspension i dont think i was running any..

and now with the whiteline stuff i think im using like 1deg.

i thought people were using +30 without having to change anything though ??

salad, do yours rub with 1deg ??

Nah, but my guards were lipped, and now they're pumped out lots

Maybe try another 0.5deg camber or lip your guards

Does it rub really badly or just rubbing?

I will assume you have 8" wide wheels at the front +30 offset. Just to give you an idea from personal experience, I had 225/40 on my 8" wide wheels and never had a problem...when I swapped to 235/40, it rubbed my guards on full lock going up driveways I raised my car by 10mm and the rubbing is very minimal now...So either raise your car or swap to 225s..should fix ur problem.
