When I Rub: No Issues

 

Wheel Size: 16x7
Offset: +40
Tire Size: 205/45/16
Suspension: Apexi N1 Damper. Lowest setting. Its probably at least 2inches lower than stock height.
When I Rub: Up front only. On medium size dips and bumps. Also when I have multiple passengers, I rub when making turns. No fender mods.

 

Wheel Size: 17x7.5
Offset: +40
Tire Size: 205/45/17
Suspension: Apex'I N1 Damper. Lowest setting with camber bolts -1.75 degrees (still need to be aligned)
When I rub: I rub on large dips on the front. Rears rub with passengers since I have 10mm spacers. Fronts are pulled, but will be rolled in the future. Same as the rears

 

I am far from an expert in this type of stuff but my understanding is that offset alone is somewhat meaningless as fitment also depends on the style/shape of the rim too, ie two rims with the same offset may not give the same results.

 

To the contrary, offset is one of the biggest factors. "style/shape" are themselves dependent on the offset.

We dont want to clog this thread, so here read this link. Educate yo'self. --> Wheels and Offset
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or anyone else. Or use the search button. There are a lot of offset threads in this forum.

 

Funny you should post that site as it was one which a tire/wheel firm specifically mentioned as putting out less than complete information and causing problems for people who are so certain they 'understand' when in fact they don't.

 

How about we add some pictures to the thread as well when posting the specs?

 

Wheel Size: 16x6.5
Offset: F/+44, R/+39 (5mm spacers in rear)
Tire Size: 205/50/16
Suspension: buddyclub N+ coilover, -2* front camber and super secret toe setting, 2" lowered in front and almost equal lowered in rear.
When I Rub: highway speed semi deep dips, tire squealing high speed/ high load turns.

 

Wheel Size: 17"
Offset: +45mm
Tire Size: 205/40/R17 (Toyo Proxes)
Suspension: 1.4" Front Drop, 1.2" Rear Drop
When I Rub: Never, not even with 4 people and luggage. =)

I will confess that I added a Rear Spacer @ 1/4" and I had to slightly roll the rear fenders. Still never rub after the roll.

 

Have it your way. Im not the one who thinks offset is meaningless

 

Originally I posted this (well over a year ago) lol, because it was around the time that everyone said that 40+ or lower offset would rub, so I wanted everyone to post, so people could see different set ups and what works and how it works!

 

lol nothing like coming back from the dead

 

great idea, nice to see this thread back from the dead

Note: and i will stop convo after this

to the guy who asked about 16x9

FITDEEZ runs 16x9 all around, have seen it in persona and I personally do not think the poke is too much!
