Found out from a mate that there's a guy in briz vegas that chops rims an makes em wider . . . Anyone knw about this ?

ive heard about someone making a wheel have more offset by like welding on spacers or some shit

sounds backyard to me man and backyarders are dodgy

Your life depends on the 4 wheel! No dodgy... noo......

Hahaha... I didnt realise the offset. I still dont get it though. What I've gathered is most common offsets are greater than 20 and for most it'll be above 30.

Someone gotta gimme a lesson on it someday.

The Harrys meet might be good tonight. HATE TAX and 57NGR seems to be going too... Hahaha. Chicken Schnitzel here I come!

For those that MIGHT be interested, Adam (brizzy_rocker), John (yaface) and I will be there for dinner.

old lessons for old brandon

lets just say a 7" rim with a 45 offset is epic epic fail

so now you can see why the lower the offset - the more the wheel will stick out of the guard

Oh nah I dont want that, this guy chops em and welds pieces in the middle to make the wheel wider on the inside so you can fit bigger rubber on :blink:

so just as an example; all these rear wheels are 9" ok, but with different offset

+30 offset

+20 offset

+10 offset

0 offset

-5 offset

now yes the guards and profile/width of tyre can vary n shit - but you get the general idea

class dismissed

Oh nah I dont want that, this guy chops em and welds pieces in the middle to make the wheel wider on the inside so you can fit bigger rubber on ;)

personally i'd sell your wheels and get new ones which are correct width/offset etc

Still dodgy. It'll be even worse if you have a high powered car. Anything thats broken (intentionally or unintentionally) will not be as strong which is why 1piece forged rims are so exp.

Tris: guess what? I'm an idiot again, seems like always managed to go on the wrong channel all the time. I thought you were referring to the offset when you said 7... HAHAHA. Yes, 7" wide is fail. Fit maybe 205? I wish mine were like colin's 10.5 ;)

If you find that pic of my car you will see what 17 X 9 +24 is like. Althought I have rolled/flared the guards a bit.

What are they anyway?

Back on those pic, yea I sorta figured out the difference between positive and negative offsets but I remembered someone told me its related to dish. Say if you've got +22 and +15 on the same wide and size rim, the +22 will have more dish and this is what confuses me. What I understand from looking at those cross sectional diagrams is the offset's got nothing to do with the dish size, its the width and rim design that dictates it. What offset does is determine how much your wheels will stick out or in from the hub.

correct...cause spacers are for LOSERS!!

Not really man.

Simon's wheels are some of the strongest and most expensive and some of their models are 3 piece. They are made to your order though.

Forged rims are expensive because they are strong and light.

You might also find that some welded connections are just as strong as some metals....but you can't cut and weld forged rims, because they are magnesium alloy, because it weakens the alloy. Steel rims you can.

Dish man, is just a term for what some wheels have when the spoke doesn't protrude to the edge of the mag. For example. An XD9 Work rims has dish...and XT7 work rim does not. even though they can be gotten in the same size....dish is just a wank term used to discribed the flat surface between the spoke and the edge of the wheel.

What are they anyway?

My rims are Volk GT-AV - 19" x 8.5F, 9.5R not sure what the offsets are though the back fits perfect with f**k all camber and the front are about 10mm inside the gaurds

correct...cause spacers are for LOSERS!!

Yeah Im not a fan (got none on mine) but it is hard to find wheels that fit perfect

im more into Lucy Pinder, or maybe Kim Kardashian, or if i was in a cougar mood perhaps Monica Bellucci or Cathrine Zeta Jones

Lucy Yes, Kardashian doesnt do it for me at all

over. rated.

True

Pretty good price and looks good too!

Fail width, Fail offset

ugh shit i just saw that those bc's are 17*7 fail!

Think thats for steelies mang. 3 piece rims you can get new outers for, but they are not chopped.

Was going to go into this but seems its been covered already

Harrys fail ;)

Good job

    • Depends how low and tyre size. Should fit with natural camber, skinny tyres and rolled guards.
    • Hi guys, planning to get 18x9 +25 in fronts and 18x10 +25 in rears been reading the whole thread and cant really find anything   Anyone know if these will fit a r34 gtt with no scrubbing or guard work needed?
    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
