Found out from a mate that there's a guy in briz vegas that chops rims an makes em wider . . . Anyone knw about this ?

ive heard about someone making a wheel have more offset by like welding on spacers or some shit

sounds backyard to me man and backyarders are dodgy

Your life depends on the 4 wheel! No dodgy... noo......

Hahaha... I didnt realise the offset. I still dont get it though. What I've gathered is most common offsets are greater than 20 and for most it'll be above 30.

Someone gotta gimme a lesson on it someday.

The Harrys meet might be good tonight. HATE TAX and 57NGR seems to be going too... Hahaha. Chicken Schnitzel here I come!

For those that MIGHT be interested, Adam (brizzy_rocker), John (yaface) and I will be there for dinner.

old lessons for old brandon

lets just say a 7" rim with a 45 offset is epic epic fail

so now you can see why the lower the offset - the more the wheel will stick out of the guard

Oh nah I dont want that, this guy chops em and welds pieces in the middle to make the wheel wider on the inside so you can fit bigger rubber on :blink:

so just as an example; all these rear wheels are 9" ok, but with different offset

+30 offset

+20 offset

+10 offset

0 offset

-5 offset

now yes the guards and profile/width of tyre can vary n shit - but you get the general idea

class dismissed

Oh nah I dont want that, this guy chops em and welds pieces in the middle to make the wheel wider on the inside so you can fit bigger rubber on ;)

personally i'd sell your wheels and get new ones which are correct width/offset etc

Still dodgy. It'll be even worse if you have a high powered car. Anything thats broken (intentionally or unintentionally) will not be as strong which is why 1piece forged rims are so exp.

Tris: guess what? I'm an idiot again, seems like always managed to go on the wrong channel all the time. I thought you were referring to the offset when you said 7... HAHAHA. Yes, 7" wide is fail. Fit maybe 205? I wish mine were like colin's 10.5 ;)

If you find that pic of my car you will see what 17 X 9 +24 is like. Althought I have rolled/flared the guards a bit.

What are they anyway?

Back on those pic, yea I sorta figured out the difference between positive and negative offsets but I remembered someone told me its related to dish. Say if you've got +22 and +15 on the same wide and size rim, the +22 will have more dish and this is what confuses me. What I understand from looking at those cross sectional diagrams is the offset's got nothing to do with the dish size, its the width and rim design that dictates it. What offset does is determine how much your wheels will stick out or in from the hub.

correct...cause spacers are for LOSERS!!

Not really man.

Simon's wheels are some of the strongest and most expensive and some of their models are 3 piece. They are made to your order though.

Forged rims are expensive because they are strong and light.

You might also find that some welded connections are just as strong as some metals....but you can't cut and weld forged rims, because they are magnesium alloy, because it weakens the alloy. Steel rims you can.

Dish man, is just a term for what some wheels have when the spoke doesn't protrude to the edge of the mag. For example. An XD9 Work rims has dish...and XT7 work rim does not. even though they can be gotten in the same size....dish is just a wank term used to discribed the flat surface between the spoke and the edge of the wheel.

What are they anyway?

My rims are Volk GT-AV - 19" x 8.5F, 9.5R not sure what the offsets are though the back fits perfect with f**k all camber and the front are about 10mm inside the gaurds

correct...cause spacers are for LOSERS!!

Yeah Im not a fan (got none on mine) but it is hard to find wheels that fit perfect

im more into Lucy Pinder, or maybe Kim Kardashian, or if i was in a cougar mood perhaps Monica Bellucci or Cathrine Zeta Jones

Lucy Yes, Kardashian doesnt do it for me at all

over. rated.

True

Pretty good price and looks good too!

Fail width, Fail offset

ugh shit i just saw that those bc's are 17*7 fail!

Think thats for steelies mang. 3 piece rims you can get new outers for, but they are not chopped.

Was going to go into this but seems its been covered already

The Harrys meet might be good tonight. HATE TAX and 57NGR seems to be going too... Hahaha. Chicken Schnitzel here I come!

Harrys fail ;)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
