Been going throgh the forum for the last two weeks and at times it seems it will work , then i come across a thread that makes me believe it might not.

Is there someone here who can confirm if my setting will work

205/50/16 +43 offset Eibach F1.2" R1.4


I have seen the exact settings with +45 offset which works but i want the Enkei PF01 +43.

Thanks a lot for any input, working out offset and tyre size is seriously proving to be rocket science.

 

I have the Enkei RPF01 16x7 +43 with Continental DWS 205/50s on Swift Springs (1.2"f/1.0"r).

For a while, mine rubbed in the front if I hit a bump while doing a "hard" turn. As the tire wore down (and the plastic fender liner wore away from the rubbing!)... it stopped rubbing.

I don't think it's a big deal, it's just plastic. I'm sure there will be rubbing again once I buy new tires (current ones are just about done)... I'd be surprised if the hole that was created by the rubbing gets big enough to slide a nickel through it.

edit: fenders are NOT rolled.

 

Go w/ a 195 tire to be sure...probably not much rubbing though

 

I see, I see :-) hmmmm

+45mm seems to be the norm for no rubbing.

Question : when you rub on turns and humps, is this hard driving ? Or normal day to day drive ?

 

why are you guys running such tall tires?

 

205/50/r16 is less than a percent taller than stock 185/55/r16 (sport)

Edit: It is exactly .1 in taller than stock.

 

Aaaaaaaaah! Thanks for the info. Didn't know the GE came with such big tires stock. I was under the assumption they were similar to the GD

 

Sometimes I wish I had a GD. You guys can run tiny wheels/tires at lower offsets than we can and still look good and not rub....DAMN YOU HONDA

 

All cars seem to be getting bigger wheels every generation. the 4runner comes with 20" wheels on the limited model

 

It's "normal" for me, especially since I do deliveries. but then again... I like to have fun whenever I drive. So, normal for me is "hard" for your typical commuter.

 

I'm running +40 w/ Swift springs and a 195/45/17 w/ no rub except on really hard turns. However Swifts are only a 1" drop.

 

Hahaha :-) ok

Just to be sure, we are talking back tyres right now yeah ?

How goes front tyres ? Do they clear ?

 

The rubbing is the front. The back don't rub.

 

Back tires will clear almost anything within reason...it's the front that rubs.

 

I see, so this front tyre with +43 is limit limit.

Will this be an issue if I drive like a grandma ? :-) u think.

I need stability in my car on my 6hrs trip to Melbourne overtaking monster trucks on freeways. Around town is mostly smooth driving.

 

I used this setup when the tires were fairly new with an 11k mile road trip across the United States. Didn't give it a second thought.

If you take a turn fast like a racer, I'm sure you'll rub.
If you take the turn like a "spirited" driver, you probably won't rub unless you hit a bump.
If you take a turn rather slowly, I would think you wouldn't rub even if you hit a bump.

Even when it does rub, it won't make the car unstable or anything. It's just a plastic liner in the wheel well.

 

Uhuh, thanks a lot for the feedback, u're a legend ;-)

 

Goobers,

Is there a picture of your somewhere on the forums?, I can see how it looks :-)

Thanks

 

I meant, your ride.

Can't edit on my mobile
