Offset Calculator

[R34NRG]

was wondering if anyone could help me out picking a offset to suit wider guards?

any formulas that u guys use or anything would be great.

basically im thinking about either rolling my guards out, getting wider guards, or even fitting a entire wide bodykit on it.

so i need to know wat offset to use with my wheels.

any help would be great.

Try using that. Just experiment with what offsets you can get your hands on and compare them too your wheels that you have on at the moment. It tells you how much it will stick out or in etc.

thanks adam, although its a bit confusing when ive got 8inch rims atm and im changing it to 10inch, i dont know how it directly affects the offset.

maybe i should get a pro to do it? lol

Easiest way is to start with the wheel specification and then plug it into the calculator, then determine how much more clearance you need.

Generally if you want something like GTR offset rims, you're looking for 9" wide rims with +12 or +22 offset.

Give me the spec of the wheels you have the moment and tell me what width you want with the wider gaurds and how much you want it to stick out by. I'll get back to you on what offset you need.

well atm my rims are 18x8.

the wide bodykit extends the car by 170mm

so yeh....

You need to give the offset of your current wheels as well... are your current wheels flush with the guards?

[funkymonkey]

you need the following:

size of current wheel (diameter,width):

current wheel's offset:

distance current wheel sits inside guard:

distance bodykit extends guard by from standard body:

camber (don't need this if you haven't changed it from factory):

if you have 18x8 I'm gonna guess your offset is +34 or +35, if you wanted to extend that another 170mm you'll need a pretty f*kin wide wheel unless you resort to spacers. I've got 14" wide with an offset of -60 using that calculator

What ^^ they said. You need to give us more detail.

If you would like to speak to a workshop about rolling/lipping guards, fitting low offset wheels, fitting kits and respray work, contact Primal Garage. They're located in Brooklyn, just down the road from Dr Drift's workshop.

But as other people have said, you need to post more info. If I were you I'd probably just get the guards lipped and flaired, you'll be able to fit at LEAST a 10" wide rim on the rear with +12 offset and 9" on the front with 0 offset, not too sure how wild you can go with a R34 Skyline.

so yeh....

whoa! Wat kinda widebody kit u gettin dude?? do u mean extending the whole width of the car by 170mm or 170mm each side????!!! picsorban!!

[R34NRG]

im most likey to get a actual wider body instead of rolling guards. i couldnt possibly roll my guards 170mm each side.

and yes nismo its 170mm each side, its a pretty massive kit im getting.

unfortunately i dont have any pics but expect something insane.

but here are my measurements for my wheels atm

18x8

offset is unknown ....im assuming +35 or something around there. is there anyway of finding out exactly?

ive got pretty much no gap between my wheels and my guards. its around 2-3mm if that.

its not final but the bodykit will increase guards width by around 160-170mm "each" side.

massive kit

i guess what i really need to do is find out exactly how big my guards will pump out then work on wheel offset.

If thats the case then i'd be really interested to see it...do u realise thats an additional 6.9 inches each side...good luck in finding wheels to suit dude...18x12 -20?

Kakimoto kit????

[funkymonkey]

we have an original kakimoto and it only runs 13" at the rear and 10" in the front. My BN sports widebody runs 12" at the rear and 10" at the front.

I think its 170mm total, so divide that by two per side. Not even JGTC cars are that wide.

[n15m0]

lol...Andru are u telling porkies again??? adding 34cm to the total width of your 34 I worked out...you wouldn't be able to fit in a single garage, normal parking spots and 1/3 of your car would be taken out by traffic if you parked on the side of the road

[R34NRG]

i think theres a mis understanding. and proberly my fault

its 170mm from the top of the guard, not the wheel arch.

who in the world takes a measurement like that? find out how much wider than standard they are. wider fenders are usually sold as a +30mm, +50mm etc.

[adam-__-]

I agree, it's a pretty stupid way to measure it. Maybe it's just to make to mod sound more 'hardcore'? "I'm getting gaurds that are 150mm wider", but they're really only 20mm or something.
