Rims Off set
Any bros can help me with the off set of the 8? Is it only specific off set can fit the car? i.e. if the off set numeric is smaller, willit still fit the car? :Eyecrazy:

Unless you are packing some hp under that hood i do not think that a 255 width tire would be good for your 8 . For better all round grip , i would suggest sticking to OEM of same width all around. 235 or 245 tires would work. if you still want a staggered set-up 225or 235 in front and 245 in the rear. 245 would be the most i would go for a 2 rotor NA 8.
As for offsets, you would be good with a 35-40offset for the rims. Warning: Changing tire width/size will increase rolling resistance and drag. You will see a decrease in fuel economy ( ..hehe.. can't believe i said that) and may be an inaccuracy in your speed reading.

to rxbabe : dun worry, we are a friendly bunch of people.. although I am a newbie to this club, I can sense that all of them are pretty good through meetups, makans and roundings... hope to catch up ya soon...
anyway my offset is +38 and tires is 235 front and 265 back... |
I am running +43. Actually would prefer +40.
My only concern is that running too small offsets will cause the tires to rub on the body and/or cuase the stock suspension to work harder; maybe end up have to change suspension. tan280: Wow! 265. Next time LTA can hire you to smooth roads and they can save on steamrollers. |
haha Emperor, so next time can approve anything liao cause all sponsor by LTA.. haha... anyway I think most of us use lighted weight rims ba so more or less the same right?
