Prokiller Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 wow that's a 2.5" offset. what is the width of the wheel? i don't think they will work for you. not to mention i don't think they would even clear the brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SneakySonBeach Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Think they were going 8" wide maybe. Knew it was too good to be true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Must be offset for a FWD car, but that's awfully positive even for that application. My scion 18's are +40mm. A lot of subaru stock wheels are +50something... I don't think I've seen many 60+ offset wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SneakySonBeach Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I need someone to teach me what backspacing is lol guy has a set of wheels says they are back spaced for s197 cars buy will fit with spacers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Back spacing and offset are essentially the same thing. Back spacing is a term that IMO is fading away, and is measured in inches...offset is what I most commonly see when reading wheel specs and is in millimeters.

Prokiller Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 backspacing is measuring from the back of the wheel face to the hub mounting surface. so for example on a 18x9" wheel the backspacing would generally be 5.94" or in other words you would have 3.06" from the wheel mount to the face of the wheel. offset gets you more or less the same thing but it starts with the imaginary center line of the wheel and measures plus or minus in mm from that line to the hub mounting surface. so in the 18x9 example, you would have a +30mm which essentially is a 30mm measure from center 4.5" line of the wheel towards the fender side. if it would have been -30mm it would be 30mm from that center towards the inside of the car.

SneakySonBeach Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Ok so I assume the back spacing on 05 mustangs are close enough to ours? He said he will include spacers and he bought them off a guy who had them on an 04 mach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That works to almost 5cm which means you'd need ballpark a 2" spacer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakySonBeach Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Sounds good he's including the spacers and they are 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokiller Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I wouldn't want to run 2" spacers on the front. you couldn't pay me to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I also will caution against 2" front spacers, and for that matter I wouldn't run a 2" spacer on the back either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle5.0 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I think rk's were an option or common wheel for camry's so that could be what they were from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
