+25 offset, will it work?
 
Just a quick one, girls and boys. Will a +25 work on our GE8? Or is that too aggressive of a fitment? Just wondering. Thanks. :cool:

Width? Diameter?

RangerRingor 08-06-2012 07:00 PM

Specs: 15x8. +25 offset.

it also depends on whether you are low, also whether you are planning on doing any fender rolling/pulling. I am dumped on 17x9 +35. and had to do plenty of fender work. but at a stock height, or maybe even a mild drop, i dont believe you would have many problems with those.

RangerRingor 08-06-2012 07:36 PM

Nope. Not lowered or anything. Gonna buy Bilstein PSS Coilovers when they're available. They're on back order until late September. I might just get the wheels and store them in the garage.

Thanks for the helps ya'all!

jazzhands68 08-06-2012 07:46 PM

just curious, what wheels?

RangerRingor 08-06-2012 07:58 PM

Axis OG. :P I'll partially trade my white LS webs.

Fit*est 08-06-2012 10:16 PM

I had 15X8 +25 offset w/ 195-50-15 tires dropped on Teins 1.4" drop and I had a like 2" gap, NO RUBBING AT ALL

RangerRingor 08-06-2012 11:41 PM

Got any pictures?

That sounds like a bad idea w/o fender mods.

RangerRingor 08-07-2012 11:34 AM

Ehhhh. Now that I've had some consideration, maybe it's not worth the trade. I think I'm just going to pass on the Axis OG's and just restore the BBS Basketweaves/Euroweaves I have in the garage. That set has +41 Offset. Much better. Plus they've already got good tires. 205/55/15. Super beefy. :)

RangerRingor 08-07-2012 11:35 AM

I was going to trade my white LS webs along with cash, but I'll keep my webs for a possible winter set up.

DreaMv 08-07-2012 11:43 AM

if youre not gonna lower the car, dont get 15x8 +25. its gonna look retarded with the massive gap and mexipoke. stay with a 16 30-45 offset.

RangerRingor 08-07-2012 12:12 PM

Just ordered my Bilstein coilovers yesterday. No turning back now. :rotfl: Gonna have to see how much clearance the Basketweaves will give. Can't wait.

Wanderer. 08-07-2012 12:29 PM

Glad you kept the BBS, Bilstiens don't go that low, you'll be just fine. Tire size is even good for the speedo, within 2% of stock, so good for you :)

RangerRingor 08-07-2012 12:36 PM

I would never give those BBS's away. 15 inch weaves are hard to come by. And I got it for a steal price. Plus, about a good percentage of Honda's I see has Axis wheels. Not too original. :p

And yeah, I know the Bilsteins don't go that low. I'm more in it for comfort and reliability. With Seattle's roads, going 'dumped' isn't such a good idea. I'll have some pictures up when I get my setup done. :)

lowkeymods 08-07-2012 01:13 PM

I'd worry more about the 8" part than the offset. 7" + anthing below 35 is gonna look, well....

Camber is the first thing you should attack. Example:


lowkeymods 08-07-2012 10:30 PM

That car is retarded.

Do what you want, it's your car and make it something you will enjoy. However, I personally think that a 7" and offset between +35-50 looks the most natural and causes the least problems. I'm running a +40 and still have to run 1.2 degrees of -camber.

Front's had a *tiny* bit of poke.

17x7.5 et 35f, 17x8.5 et48r w/8mm spacer:

I think 17x8.5 et48 all around with a 10mm spacer in the rear, on 205/40-17 Falken Ziex ZE512 is pretty much perfect for the GE8. So that's what my setup will be by September.
