offset

[crawler05]

Hi there, I was looking into getting a new set of rims. I been trying to find that post ragarding offset. The rim I was looking at is the Kuro Intake. It's got a +40 offset. Is that going yo be ok??? I was looking at 17' on 205/45 tyres for a 2005 corolla conquest.....

Yep, offset will be fine, but definately go with the 205/45 not the 215/40 profile

how abt +35 offset 15inch wheels for 1ZZ?

There's no point quoting offsets if you dont specify the corresponding wheel width. a +35 offset 6" rim is quite a bit different to a +35 7" rim in terms of clearance.

If you have an offset/width combo you know fits well, you can use http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp to get an idea of how different width/offset wheels will sit in terms of strut and guard clearance.

CHA54 - Sorry about being a nuisance. But I know nothing about offsets. Would you mind explaining it to me a little bit more???

well first you need to clarify the width of the 17's you're looking at. Are they 7" or 7.5"? There's also a few oddball 17x6.5's out there...

I have a set of 15x7 with a +35 offset and they don't stick out past the body work if that is what you are asking. If you are asking whether or not they will scrub you'll have to check the Wheel and tyre section; scrub depends on lowering and tyre widths too.

Thanks so much for your help mate, I'm learning slowly. I appreciate it a whole lot.
