Help Wanted Rims

[Adz2332]

Im about to order some rims from japan (streeter)

And i dont know what offsets to get. My 180 has had a 5 stud conversion.

Does any one have some 17x8s and 17x9s that i could test fit to my car and work out offset needs from there???

As im looking for a flush fitment, not sticking out past the gaurds... Sick of getting hasseled..

Any help would be great

17x9 +20 would sit 'hella flush' I would say?

[Weezy]

Would 17x9 +37 for rears stick out a fair bit on a 33 or fairly flush. And what is the 37 measured in?

[scandyflick]

offset (the 37) is mm. ie, the mounting face for the wheel sits 37mm towards the outside face of the wheel from the centre line. if the offset is -, then the same is true, but its towards the inside edge of the wheel.

as for how theyd sit on a 33... cant tell ya. lol.

Ahhh thanks for that

Apparently i have 9JJ rims on the rear of my R33 - 17x9JJ, and offset is *grumbles as he walks outside into the heat, and has a look at the sticker on the rims*...17x9.0JJX17 +35, whatever the JJX17 means.

[scandyflick]

eh, im not really sure what the jj shit is either, fairly sure its unimportant though, all you really need is the numbers.

[Adz2332]

PM sent mate

just will die if i send away to jap and get them back only to stick out!

[Luke_ENR34]

jj is width

et is offset

[Aberax]

jj is width

et is offset

ok, so mine is effectively saying it is 9.0" in width.

Mine are +35 on the rear and sit a little bit inside the guards, so i would say +37 will either sit flush...or just outside, but don't quote me on that.

[Madaz]

^^ increase the number and it will sit inside even more

as a reference 9.0" +12 is a nice GTR offset R33 GTSt are also close in swallowing that size rim too i have drifteks in 8.5 and 9" +35 and both front and rears sit in the guards more so on the fronts which are 8.5"

[alr33x]

i run 18x10 + 20 on r33 with rolled guards and lots of camber in 9" id say you would be looking at somewhere between +18 to +25 depending how you want it to look.. id say 9.5" is better option with maybe +20 or 25

forget +37 thats saw blade offset.

as for a 180sx jump over to ns.com they have a 300 page thread will be able to sort it out pretty easily.

[Madaz]

forget +37 thats saw blade offset.

couldn't of said it any better

Probs is its not as easy as saying, well hes using these offsets so itll fit mine. As ive been told 5 stud conversions can be all different depending on what parts have been used etc... Been told its just easier to try them on but cant from jap
