Yes another damn offset thread lol

Post by RaptorReed »

Looking at 15x10 wheels for the Coupe, question for the wheel guys on here, is what recommended offset should I go with that will clear the rear shocks but not stick out excessively. I know it's a 10" wheel but there is a right mix somewhere and I won't have a problem with having to run flares, just don't want them to sit so far out that they even sit out further than the flares. This question is ONLY FOR THE REARs, the fronts will be either 15x8 or 15x9s.

I don't think you will get 9's on the front Tim. I have tried my 15x8 +-0 on the front and they stick out 10mm but there was about 15mm on the inside so I think a 15x8 +10 will fit on the front fine.
15x10 is a pretty easy fit I think for the rear of a hardtop. My 15x8's have plenty of room inside and out and I think a 15x10 +-0 or maybe -10 would sit about perfect under the stock guards.
I will take pics of mine from underneath in the morning and post them up here.

What front struts are you running Tim?

GJ Sigma struts is what you need for that size rim on the front.

Either AE86 Corolla or Starion struts up front, since we didn't get GJ Siggies out here.
