18x7.5 +45 Offset Go Ok?

[mosquitocoils]

Hi all, I'm having some trouble working out which wheels would fit/clear/sit inside my guards.

I've found a set of wheels in my budget that are 18 x 7.5 with +45 offset. The most offset I've seen people talk about on R33 GTST's is around 38... my question is would +45 sit a bit outside?

Or realistically is that difference barely noticeable?

your standard wheels are +40. +45 will sit further IN. the less positive offset you have the more the wheel sits out. something round the mid to low 30 is "safe" on a r33.

terrible offset, do not purchase. x9+30 is a stock 33GTR offset if that helps you

Oooooh ok... thanks heaps for that guys.

Let's say I got these wheels, they'd sit inside the guards... and they'd probably scrape at my calipers etc?

Caliper clearance depends on wheel design. That width and offset would look like ABSOLUTE SHIT! Like HEAPS inside the guards. Would look like a tram! Do not buy!

Hahaha ok, no worries... won't be buying them then!

I didn't think that difference of 5 in the offset would make a huge difference? Is that a mesurement in millimetres or what?

[Basti]

millimeters, but in the wrong direction

Width and offset together are factors of where the wheel sits in the guard. 18x7.5 +45 is clearly designed for front wheel drive small cars, not r33's. U need to be looking at at least 8.5 inches wide and offset between +25 and +15

i have 18x9" +30 .. almost flush with the guards without any mods so it's perfect for me.. yes you can go wider/smaller offsets but it requires work

I had +45 and man they looked soo bad ! but yeh man +22 would be the pefect offset imo

dont you dare ravi

i'l never let you live down you're epic fail fitment

whats your budget?

will look like aids and possibly have clearance issues on the front.
