offset confusions???

[cripemaster]

I am going to purchase Diamond Racing Wheels in the near future. I'm going to get them 15x8, but I don't have a clue as to what offset I should get. My car is lowered on Function and Form Type 1's. Any help would be greatly appreciated from anyone who knows what offset I should get. Thanks for any help and reading.

Offset is subjective. Some people like a really deep offset, some think that the style in general looks dumb on a Honda. Look at some pictures of a few cars with various offsets and see which you like the best.

My main concern is that I do not want to have to roll my fenders.

I run 17x7's with a +42mm Offset (I don't like the "deep dish" wheel look at all) and I don't/didn't have to roll my fenders at all.

fyi, call diamond racing personally and ask what they could make it in.
a buddy of mine bought some for his white 4door accord

they were only able to make a really high offset or a +13 with a 5" backspace in the size that he wanted '16x8' from what i remembered when i ordered it for him.

when it comes to backspacing, i have no idea what they mean. but i guess it pushes the wheels out even more..??

just get ready to add TONS of camber doods!!

the more back spacing the less about of lip i believe, so if you have an 8" rim with a 5" backspacing you have a 3" lip. With DA's the offset you want all depends on how low you are and using camber kits or not, if you dont want to touch your fenders i wouldnt go with anything less than 30 if you're slammed with a decent amount of natural camber. i need some more info on your set up and i can help out more

16x8 +10 he said that he is not rolled.

When u run wit a low offset n camber like that, what's the tire pressure at?

 

[cripemaster]

I'm running on function and form type 1 suspension and i'm pretty slammed for right now on my stock 14's the back and front wheels are slightly tucked, but I'm already expecting to have to readjust once I get the diamonds, but other than that, that's all I can say. I have no camber kit and the front for as low as it is has virtually no camber and the back camber is pretty slight as well.

there is no way that the phaze 2 DA doesnt have rolled fenders. You can do a +10 or +15 and roll your fenders if you're slammed, i did 15x8+0 with the fronts rolled and the back was rolled and flared, get some 195 45 15's and it'll make life alot easier

there actually is a way to run 16x8s +10 without rolling ur fenders. rolling fenders is always a last resort id shave fenders first and camber as much as you can and stretch the tire as much as you can

 

[DumaDa9]

:wtf: you gotta be kidding me

16x8 +10 he said that he is not rolled.

effin clean teggt8)8):shock::lol:

 

[ixcocoyxi]

as stated above, if you run a narrow enough tire and run enough camber, you dont have to roll/shave fenders

for me, stock camber in the rear running a 16x8 +15 and a 205/40R16 tire, i had to cut the rear to accommodate the stock camber and i had to roll/pull the front to clear the corrected camber.

the purpose for most people of having low offset wheels is to have a flush fitment, putting on wheels and using a shitload of camber and small tires isnt the correct way to do things if you're looking for fitment. The phaze 2 DA does have rolled fenders
