16 x 8 +15 offset on AE92.

[Kr0n1k]

Am I asking too much? I saw them on an xB and just thought I'd ask. BTW, if you notice, I don't have an AE92, but my current car is no fun, because after payment and insurance I am left with 0 dollars, so I'm attempting to make a battle plan. With a fender pull/roll, some stretched tires, and KSports, you think I could fit'em?

I could also go 15 instead of 16 if you think that'd help.

if I am thinking correctly... a +15 offset will stick WAY out
I also think the car would handle weird if you put really wide tires on the front as it's fwd

It's doable.. but you'll have to customize your fenders to fit them on the car, they'll basically look like this.



Notice how wide these fenders are, my bet is his wheels are in the 0 to +15 offset, probably 15x8 or 15x9, they'll never fit without this type of modification to the body panels, you'll hit the oem fenders and they will bend everytime you go over a bump, the wheels will probably rub when you take turns.

That is exactly what I'm looking for. Ideally, I'd like to just roll the fenders out, but I was thinking the 8" wide and the +15 offset would be too much. Its not so much the width of the wheel that I'm looking at, its the offset. All these wheel manufacturers have 0, +15, or +35. That is really the look I'm going for though, so I may just bite the bullet, cut the fenders, and blend some flares onto the car, I don't really dig the whole tacked on look. I'm thinking I could roll the fenders out enough to fit'em though, but we'll see. BTW, I searched with this site's search engine, and really didn't come up with anything, I searched on google and the first result was an old post, and Ren responded with a pic of the same car, sorry bout that.

dud with tires that big and an offset like that I doubt rolling the fenders will give you anywhere near the room you will need.

Also not sure about NY but here in Ontario it's illegal to drive around with your tires outside the fender/fender flare.

haha.. jokes, I remember posting this pic more than a few times already.

thats my game plan for the end look. Help give the car a slightly wider stance.

An example of pulling and rolling. This car was actually one of my inspirations. More pictures and other examples at www.keeplabs.com.

Sweet! I love SSRs! that look in particular as I'm thinking of getting a set of those or the AXIS OG's.

To make those rims work on that Civic, I see that they are using a tire that has a narrower cross section than the rim. It looks cool but to me seems counter productive. Those tires are in jepordy of sidewall damage, and will probrbly never wear evenly.
Why use rims that you cannot put the correct tires on?

The pulling and rolling looks good, but those rims are much too wide, or have too much offset.

i can see the sportmax's your looking at really sitcking out. i think itll be alot of work to fit them. what about the 002's 15x7, +38?

[Kr0n1k]

+38 is gonna be sunken in to the wheel well. Ideally, a +30 or +25 offset would be best, but seems to be impossible to find. Maybe these places will take a custom order. Its all about stance, I can find anything in a +38 but I want that wide, exaggerated stance. Plus, the lower offset affords more of a lip, and basically makes a car look very agressive without doing much. Its just finding the right pieces to the puzzle.





That is an ideal roll and tuck, nothing too crazy but gets the point across. Maybe I'm looking for +30 with a 5mm spacer...

[freakinbox]

btw streched tires are just for looks now a days. It comes from racing before tires were decent and they did that to stifin the sidewall. But now a days it doesn't serve any other purpose but people think it looks nice

[Kr0n1k]

And it does.

What is that blue car, a Cressida or a Carina?
