Is anyone here running on aggressive wheel fitments?

 

some not most

all i know is someone needs to run these

 

Yea there are plenty of people running an aggressive wheel fitment. I know FELIXY69 is for his VIP style Fit. and I AM RAY has run low offsets before, I think he might have even done +0mm or damn close to it. I think Fit4trav has +15mm offset as well. That's three people right off the top of my head and I know there are others, so yes there are people running aggressive wheel fitments.

 

Ummmmm yep

 

i would totally run those. 24k gold even.

 

A search would and wouldnt help you. It wouldnt help you as a hand full run lower offsets. But it would help you as there are a few running low offsets.

Best fitment IMO, is a 30 to 25mm offset in a 15x7 or 15x8in wheel.
It all depends on what you want?

 

When comparing 15x7 and 15x8 with lets say a 25 offset...where does that inch effect? Lol...

 

^^^Well a 15x7 +25 wheel would be 1" shorter width wise from a 15x8 +25. The main difference though would be where the wheel mounts on the hub. With some simple calculations 1" roughly equals 25mm. so a 15x7 w/ a 0 offset would sit exactly how a 15x8 +25. Again this is a rough estimation you would still have to take into effect back spacing and some wheel manufacturers make a low disk, super low disk, and normal disk, which also affects how the wheel sits on the hub.

Hope that makes some sense.


Thanks for coming to the boards Rim Tuck. I am CamoTrav on bBSquad. Welcome.

 

i wanna see some -offset.
someone do it

 

Close but not totally correct. Offset is measured from the center line of the rim to the mounting face. If you use the 7" and 8" wide wheels as an example, if both wheels have a 0mm offset (the mounting face is directly in line with the wheel's center line) the edge of the 8" rim would sit 1/2" further out toward the fender AND 1/2" closer to the fender well/suspension. This is a very useful for figureing out wheels sizes and offsets. Wheel / tire size calculator / comparer - RIMS-N-TIRES

 

Going too aggressive with the offset can really damage your suspension.

 

so can springs with stock shocks

 

A little obvious don't you think? Any experienced car enthusiast would know that.

 

Bingo!!! That's what I was trying to say

 

How so? I have never heard this?

 

Going too aggressive puts a large amount of stress on the control arms, axles, etc. It really depends on the vehicle. AE86 and Miatas are fine with extremely low offsets.

 

The only thing it really puts stress on are wheel bearings.

Negative offsets on the Fit is too much. If you want a nice stance go wider with a higher offset (+30mm) or not so wide with a lower offset.

From previous wheels Ive had 25mm is the lowest Id run.
Even that involves rear 1/4 rolling and some front fender rolling/pulling.

 

My next wheels I wanna go 15x8 +10 =) in the rear and 15x8 +25 in the front

 

Thx guys...i understand now...question now is handling...which is better? X8 or x7?

 

Well...I may be completely wrong, but I would say a x8 wheel would be better because there would be more contact with the ground.
