jimmy billy Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Hey guys im going to be running sloted mags on my dime and im tryin to figure out what offset i want for my rim. I dont know if these rims are even made anymore and im guessing not. I want to lower my car but not stupidly low. And i want the rims to fill out the wheel well nicly but not be hiting the fenders. And im NOT cuting them or puting flares on it at all. Shes staying clean. Ive talked a little to the one guy that owns the car in the pics and im prity sure he sead their 15s but hes in thiland and doest speak much english so its not easy finding out what hes saying or him understanding me. So im askin for help on this one cause ive seen you guys running sloted mags before. This is kinda the look im going for with the rims..... These are my rims. Their 14" off of a budys Z car. I dont know the offset yet. And im trying to avoid spacers. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Rim diameter has no effect on anything. You can't make a rim fit, it either fits or it does not. Know what will fit before looking and falling in love Spacers will only move a poor fitting rim outward toward or into the fender. Quote Link to comment
Guest Rick-rat Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Usually I don't have any trouble reading Canadian post, but your post is an exception. Perhaps you should concentrate on getting an education instead of sloted mags. Really try to work on spelling :crying: Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Don't worry about Rick. He's just sore about Canada burning down the White House during the war of 1812. And he isn't racist... he hates all Canadians equally. 1 Quote Link to comment
jimmy billy Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 I know my spelling is crap lol. It seems if im super mad i spell really good. And for some reason i use us spelling aswell. And apparently i have an accent too lol And im trying to figure out what type of off set will put rims (or rims i will look to buy) closer to the fenders. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Try this offset calculator. You will have to take your rim off and do a couple of measurements on it, after all, in order to go somewhere you have to know where you're starting from... http://www.gtsparkplugs.com/WheelOffsetCalc.html This should tell you about where the new rim will be in relation to the one you have. For example if it says the new rim is 20mm closer to the outside fenders just measure over 2cm from your rim on your car. Keep in mind that the new tire may bulge out slightly too.

datzenmike Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 The exception to this is that the rims fit just fine.... but you would like them farther out and closer to the fender lip. Then you could space them outward. This will reduce the lug nut threads available but you can always replace with longer studs. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 +0 8" wide wheels fit great on a Maxima after some work with a slide hammer. ;) If you're only running 5 or 6 inch wide wheels, most will fit easily on a 510. If you're up to 7 inch, I would say probably +30 offset is a good idea. Check out futofab, I'll be they have some common 510 wheel dimensions of wheels that will fit with or without alterations.
