what offset is best for 8x13 wheels?

[dave955]

as above realy im putting 8x13 wheels on my sr what is the ideal offset to use ? thanks in advance

Thats a wide wheel...

IMO, grab something like et30 and keep fitting spacers until it clears the inner arch and suspension. You'll probably need to get it down to about et20, so bear in mind the wheel is going to be poking out from under the arch by an inch or two. And balancing the wheel on the hub like that will knacker it.

Surely for something as wide as that you'd wanna keep as close to the et49 as possible? A 7" Wide wheel with an et35 will still stick out past your arches, or is this the look you want?

tbh its going very euro so it is the look i want but only to a point id like to get them in as far as possible thanks for replying

[Dod]

Ok, the further out you want them, the smaller the Offset. et25 iirc is whats on E30 Beemers. Try getting one of those wheels and use it as a guage.

thanks mate i think il do that it is eventualy having ats classics with 175/50/13 tyres

what with are std 13" wheels? its been a while since Ive looked at a set lol.

assuming they are 5" wide on ET49.
Fitting 8" wide on ET30 you get 20mm less clearence on the inside edge and they will stick out 67mm more than std on the outside edge.

et 49 it is then ;)
