quick question about wheel sizes on cefs

[kursed]

hey cefironites,

will some 18x8s with an offset of 40 fit a cefiro nicely?

Whats the most suitable offset i should look for (i am set on 18's or larger)..

cheers

I think gaurds will have to be rolled mate, i just test fitted some 16x8.5's with 225/40's, on the rear, +35 offset and it was quite close to the over lapping lip of the inner guard.

[Ceffo]

Ive got 17x9 on mine and that fills the guard up nicely anymore and and it woud protrude for sure. 40 offest is def too big. Give it a go thou.

35 offset is the way to go.

[kursed]

thanks fellas. 35 it is

[G0DF4Th3R]

ive got 18x8 fronts and 18x9 rears

no idea on offset tho, its written on sticker on the inside of rim yeah? might pull of on weekend and let u know

[Mase]

i've got 18 x 8's on the rear i think, 265 wide tyres, guards not rolled. Offset may be 35, but not 100% sure on that. This is on the laurel, doubt it would be much different.

[inark]

yeah 18s will fit fine... just make sure the offset is right.

the one im selling has 18x10s on the rear with 235s stretched over them and they have a huge spacer on em.

but of course the guards are rolled and the wheels have neg camber so that helps i spose altho without the spacers they might fit anyway.

[Mr Eps]

you would be after a 38 offset, same as S13, 18x8 / 9 will fit fine,

[jaik]

If you want to adjust you neg camber to accomodate some bigger wheels I have organised a group buy of Adjustable Rear Upper Links for $225 for a set. Im putting some on my car so I can eventually have white powder coated R33 GTR wheels in nice n tight ooo yeah baby...

+40 offset is fine dude, that's more like FF car offsets. remember people, the smaller the number is for the offset, the more the rim sticks out. so very few cars can have 0 offset without flares. only thing is +40mm offset wont clear bigger brake calipers, but at least you can have a 8 or 9 inch wheel under standard guards...try go for +35 or less for 8 inch wheels to give that flush look

[meggala]

I run 8" rims on my cef with 22 off set they sit sweet

[Mr Eps]

Sorry to resurrect this thread,

but I'm once again buying new rims...

I won't say what, all I'll say is this...

Dual PCD : 4x114.3 & 5x114.3

Front : 225/40/18 18x8J, offset 23

Rear : 245/35/18 18x9J, offset 35

Obviously the PCD is correct, (duh)

the rears are fine I'm sure, but I do query the fronts, 8" wide and 23 offset? can anyone tell me how that would turn out?

[4DoorWhore]

thats ridiculous cmon guys...

i have weak offset and im sitting at...

18x9 +20 with a 20mm spacer (yeah i have over fenders but still minus the spacer +20 9J at least, works great)

[Mr Eps]

...so I won't catch superAIDS if I put 8inch wide +23 offset? with stock front guards? they are slightly lipped though, by saying lipped i mean i have tucked the lip up on the inside of the guard...

...I'm excited about this, are you?

[AlcoholicA]

My Cefiro has 17x8 with 225 on the front and 265 on the rear. I think the offset is +41 [but I may be wrong... it's been a while since I got them and I'm not entirely sure]. I'm running R33 brakes all around and have loads of clearance without resorting to using spacers.

The fronts sit nicely in the guard and no clearance issues. The rears do stick out quick a lot... I have adjustable camber kit on the back and am running quite a lot of camber on there, and even so the wheels do stick out about half an inch at the top. I had to lift up the coilovers to nearly maximum height to give enough clearance and stop scuffing when the car bottoms out.

Will post a pic up soon as I get my car back from the autoelectrician...

[open24hours]

Why not buy some wheels that look cool and then modify the guards to accommodate them? Wheels that fit inside stock arches will never look good.

[A31cefiro]

cant wait til my guards are done!

18x10 -12 front (not too bad of a fit at all)

18x11 -12 rear (lotsa guard work, but will look horn when done)

wheels are VS-KFs

[carter]

^^^^^^^^ pics or ban lol, thats gunna look hot dude

[jeromeA31]

Ive got WORK VS-SD 17x8.5" +10 offset (with 215/45/17 Pirelli P6000)

It sticks out and rubs the guards even if i got negative camber and had the guards rolled.
