Cefiro And Your Offset

[2gceffy]

hey guys im in the process of doin my 5 stud conversion and got my rims few weeks back but only occured to me today they i may need spacers, they are 17x8 35 at the front and 17x9 38 on the rear?

just wanna know what offsets your runnin n how well does it clear coilovers n calipers ect? also note any brake differenecs that may change the offset

thank you

[Mr Eps]

you need spacers. i won't lie.

nobody else lie. you need some spacers.

[d1a31]

He is right you need spacers but im not sure how wide, slip ons will probably do

I have 17x8 +35 on the front with 25mm bolt ons and 17x9 +35 on the rear with 5mm slip ons

they dont hang out past the guards too much either with some camber

[someonestolecc]

Screw slip ons.

Get the proper ones.

18x10 -3

18x12 -3

18x10 -3

18x12 -3

.....but seriously that will be ~4in out the guards on the rear.

indeed they will be, my front guards are heavily flared, and my rears lipped just a bit. if i got these ones then some serious guard mods will have to be made lol. all steel of course, none of this fibreglass crap and just over top of the rim, the front and back of the tire will be there for all to see

much like this car

^^^that car is farking tough!

Not a cefiro but basically the same...I run R33 GTR 17x9 +30 on the back of my laurel without any problems...fronts are 17x8 -7

[A31cefiro]

isnt it! i was just showing how the rear guards of a car are supposed to be done rather than fibreglassing over the wheels, enlarging doors etc. it looks cool to do that, just imo i recon steel flares look cooler

[C_DawG]

You might get away with it, I run 17x9's they're +32 and their is plenty of clearance. I had to get the dead blow and dolly out and tweak the guard a bit however.

people can say yes 100% youll need spacers but it depends the disk/face design of the wheel... you can almost run any offset/width and clear calipers it just depends on which face/disk type you get... (ie the below pics of the work euroline SL's... as you can see 4th pic i have a bee's dick clearance of 33 gtst 2 pot calipers because these wheels are an O disk (lowest disk you can get - gives the most dish but sfa spoke angle))

however same size and offset but use an A disk... id be able to fit burt newtons hair piece in there easy!

mate runs 33 gtr (17x9+30) all round no spacers - 0.5 deg camber rear and -1.5 degrees front...

rears sit in but tyre is out (no stretch thus the wheel is inside the guard)

fronts sit in both tyre and guard (no stretch)

my gf's 18x10 -5's with 235/40/18 stretched on the ceffy...

oh and pics of the s15 resprayed with the rears on - http://www.doylecrash.com.au/missdmakeover.htm

then add bolt on flares

[PIMP_DAT]

Hurry up fooker.

[Hella Flush]

untill my wheels arrive ill be running these 16x9 -1's with 215/50/16's stretched

hurry up focker what?

btw thought id show my pink dildo and subframe/calipers to the fellow ceffy owners!

[A31cefiro]

nice hellaflush, i just bought those meisters that i added above, so ill see how they fit on the ceffy when they arrive haha, im up for some serious guard mods methinks

[Hella Flush]

youll be able to fit them... itll be impractical thats all... and the $$$ and labour on a good looking guard job to fix that is going to be more exxy than the wheels no matter who you know...

i was going for mega mega mega before but ive realised its not needed and would like a decent balance with my car...

oh btw looking into these atm to be a backup rear pair 18x10.5 +5

just got my mate these 18x10 +10 garcon's aswell for his r31 - theyll be here next week via ems

btw those meistars arent sold yet... still for sale right at this moment - http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e58324464

yeah i know, im bidding for them at the moment through a supplier. ive got a mate whos a panel beater by trade, going to do most of the flaring myself by whatever means neccesary, then he can finish it off, then a nice coat of white with my uras kit

then ive got to start building my RB30DETT

i have the RB26 and the RB30, now just to combine the two

[Hella Flush]

do you want me to bring them in for you? i can buy them on the spot now

[Mr Eps]

OHHH OHHHH GIVE ME THE LEFTOVERS!!!!

RB26E!!!!!

haha 2.6 litre non turbo sohc crapmobile here i come

[A31cefiro]

im just checking now to see if my supplier has bought them or not, if not then i might go for something a little smaller, if he has then its no problems, ill start making some flares now haha.
