Wheel Fitment Problem

[crumac86]

Hi guys, I was given some csa retros 18x8 +36 offset but they stick out around an inch or so from the guards. Any way I can make these rims fit? Here's a pic for example.

Hey are you certain they are ET36 offset?

I would double check the back of the wheel as they appear to have a much lower offset than that.

Looks closer to an ET0 offset, especially as the width is only 8".

[crumac86]

The back of the rim has offset e0724 and p6 if that makes any sense. I was told they would fit will a fender roll.

You just need a set of unspacers.

Are there any stickers on the inside of the barrel? They look like negative offset wheels.

Best way to find out would be to measure it. Measure from the mounting surface to edges of the wheel (both direction). The difference will be the offset .

Unspacers??

Is there a space between the 0 and 726? ie) E0 724?

I would believe 0 is the offset, but not 36.

If you can measure the offset or estimate, as outlined above, that would be good.

You should be able to visually tell if the mounting face is in the middle of the barrel or closer to one side.

You need a wheel where the mounting face is closer to the outside of the wheel.

Yup.

I will help clear things up.

No. They currently don't fit, and nothing sensible or easy can be done to make them fit.

[crumac86]

Ok, so wheel unspacers are not worth it then. I might go a nice set of volk te37 wheels. Thanks for all your help guys.

*sigh*

Wheel unspacers do not exist. Spacers do exist - they push wheels outwards, which is physically possible, if not always a good idea. You need to push the wheels inwards, which is not possible. Wheel unspacers are not physically possible, hence the joke.

IMO they will fit with a roll and slight pump and a bit of low.

[Jazzadub]

Yea I thought that would have made it obvious it was a joke - apparently not!

I agree, looks like with a roll and a slight stretch they would fit a treat.

Maybe 205/40/18 or 205/45/18 would give some clearance?

Have you tried putting some wood under neath the run

Lower the car slowly and see if it tucks in?

You might have enough factory chamber for them to fit.

I got this:

to fit under like this:
