17x7.5/et36????????

[RaGe]

when i picked up these wheels i was told when i ordered them that they had an offset of +40. well turns out they have an offset of +36. i tried them on and made sure nothing was rubbing etc... But just wanted to see if anyone else out here has ran an offset like this i browsed around, but most i see was a +40. i think i seen one in a +35 but they were inquiring. i guess if all else fails i can take them back, but i normally take my summers off at the end of october.

 

here are a couple pics that i took with them on there. just want to make sure i will not run into any complications.

 

again, 17x7.5 et36 wheels size is a 215/45

visually looking, there does not appear to be any clearance issues and anything that stands out that would be a problem. I did not try turning the wheels though to see if they woudl rub etc. Just looking for some feedback with this, and to try to get some attention over this. I posted in the FAQ as well, but dont really want to clutter the thread up with pics.

any offset luv out there.

Can I get a side profile shot? I wanna see how close they are to the fender.

[RaGe]

they aren't on the car as of now. I put them on when I first picked them up. I would guess though based off of my memory and bu what pictures I do have, I would say a good inch to an inch and a half of wheel space between the tire and the fender.

here's my first set from a couple of years ago Center Line Forged, Storm's in chrome 17x7.5x40 with 225/40x17 GY's i didn't like the fit to close to fender wells with only 40 off set went to wheels with 50 off set which i like much better. btw still have these wheels will sell cheap they're in perfect condition. real cheap.

[RaGe]

was that on stock suspension? I am not too concerned about it sricking out really. when I get home I will post the other two pics I have. I think I will be ok though. just wanted to hear other peoples input.

[bosco]

was that on stock suspension?

 

yes

[RaGe]

thought so. looked as if you had about 2 inches of wheel gap. I am on tein h techs. so I have about 1 inch.

[RaGe]

I will also be on 215.45,s. I might thow one of the wheels on soley for pictures and for assurance tomorrow.

[DiscoWagon]

I wanna see how flush they are. Thanks!

i have 18x8 +43 which is probably within a mm of your setup (for the edge of the rim sticking out)... on top of the fact that i have a slightly larger wheel due to my sidewall. With this i JUST rub in the rear.

are you riding on stock suspension, or do you have aftermarket? thanks for the reply.

[grimbeaver]

i'm on JDM Bilsteins + Pinks

[RaGe]

ok kewl. thanks a big one. i think i should be ok. i did the mathmatics on the wheels. i hope anyways. i failed at math

[Hanger]

remember i've had a set of 18x8 +35? worst 2 weeks of my life until i get them traded

[RaGe]

care to elaborate?

[Hanger]

Rub and shaving tire with any small bumps on the road, any hard turns, any unsmooth surface makes me bite my teeth hard because i know that horrible sound is coming. Had to trade the 18x8 +35 NT03+M to my 18x7.5 NT03+M

have you rolled your fenders?

[Hanger]

i tried -1.5 front and -1 rear on MR coils and cut rear fender but it still shaved my tire like crazy, wasn't a fun experience at all

[Xenonk]

most likely I would say you would have a problem, and you are now limited to a set of 215 wide tires or thinner. You really need to roll your fenders and make some camber alignment changes.

 

Once you start having other people in the car or hauling stuff around or even driving spiritedly, it will rub and the fender will start getting a beating or the tire will start to cut.
