pc85 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) I'm thinking of fitting my flatty with 17" rims and need to know what the exact off-set is for the F/R wheels. Anyone have info on those dimensions? Edited January 10, 2010 by pc85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 if i remember right its 18mm just like the wide body fronts. rear 8" 16s are -10mm and rear 9" 16s are 0mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 flatties have 18mm at each corner. I've got 16x8 with +10 offset running a 205/55 http://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userpics/10030/PB090509.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc85 Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) The rims I'm looking at are 17"x 8" F, 17"x 9.5" R for Kumho VRacer V700: 225/45/17 F, 255/40/17 R. That's a lot of rubber for a flatty not sure if they'll fit? If that's too much rubber, I'll settle for 215/45/17 F, 245/40/17 R. I'm running 16 x 8s all around now with 225/40/16 F, 245/45/16 R, http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/uploads/1253460783/gallery_16466_463_83278.jpg Edited November 26, 2009 by pc85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redzone Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 you will need +12mm offset uf you're gonna run 9's on the rear. 8's will fit nice with +12 at the front aswell. good luck finding +12 in those sizes though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc85 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 you will need +12mm offset uf you're gonna run 9's on the rear. 8's will fit nice with +12 at the front aswell. good luck finding +12 in those sizes though lol I'm having custom billet rims made by Centerline. Already talked with them, they have 4 designs that will fit 4x114 lug pattern ranging from 15"-18" wheels. All I need are the exact offset dimensions and I'll be ordering soon.

pc85 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) So these are the 3 styles I'm looking at:"Mojave"http://centerlinewheels.com/images/wheel_deals/TN_12421mojave.jpg"Thruster"http://centerlinewheels.com/images/wheel_deals/TN_12413thruster.jpg"Sahara"http://centerlinewheels.com/images/wheel_deals/TN_978sahara.jpg Let me know what you guys think, I'm open to some feedback Edited March 13, 2010 by pc85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I like the Thruster and then the Mojave, in that order, the Sahara is too round on the spoke design for our cars. Out of those 3, I'd get the Thruster shameless plug for my flatty, too, now running a combined offset of -15mm (25mm spacers on the +10 offset rims) but had to add some camber to clear the fenders http://26liter.us/gallery/albums/userpics/10030/P3060479.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMeyerhoff Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) I like the thruster out of those three. If I had the jack to put some rims on my 86 flatty, I think I'd try for the Rota RB 17x8.5 +4http://www.rotawheels.com/images/products/rb_1.jpg Edited March 18, 2010 by MikeMeyerhoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc85 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) I like the thruster out of those three. So far that's 2 for "Thrusters". As far as the "Rota", do they come in different widths? I'm looking at 9.5" for the rears and I can customize the offset with the Centerlines.

MikeMeyerhoff Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) Yes in 17s they have several sizes up to 9" and 9.5" with negitive ofsets. Rota RB sizes Here are some 17s with liphttp://img24.imageshack.us/img24/7803/img00604.jpg Edited March 18, 2010 by MikeMeyerhoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 those Rotas can only be had in the 4 lug though (4x114.3) pc85, is your car 4 or 5 lug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_C. Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Yep, the Thrusters! I really like that Rota too. That would be sweet on a flatty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 I almost bought a set of Rota RB-R in 16x8, that was until I saw the Flashbacks that I have, which I don't think you can get in 16" anymore but yeah, those RB or RB-R (different angle/bow to the spokes) in the 17's would look GOOD on a flatty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redzone Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 in my opinion the thrusters look gayer than aids, they look like they belong on an F100 or something... but the mojave's would look awesome! Rota RB's in a 17X8.5 +4 fit PERFECT on a flatty, i just sold a set to a customer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
