Hey guys, let me know if this helps at all in regards to offsets of rims.

Came accross this thread searching for people's 17x10 setups. I see alot of people just asking "what wheels do I get for this look?" etc. What you should be asking yourselves is: how do I need to set up my suspension, what wheel specs, what tires do I want to or have to run, and do I have to do any fender modification, and if so, what kind?" Sounds like alot, and I'm not saying you have to do ALL of these things, but they are all factors.

I have a few additional comments to make regarding the issue.
For a real concave look, low offset (30mm or less) and relatively wide (9" or more) width wheels are often necessary. While it is true that some wheel designs are more concave than others in any offset, and some become more or less concave than others as you decrease offset and increase width, there aren't many higher offset wheels that "just have that look" in whatever size, especially something close to stock Evo specs (17x8 +38). Cars with high offsets almost never have really concave spokes unless they are wide body and/or insane negative camber.

In short, if you want real concave or flush wheels you will have to WORK for it which is why it's coveted and not everyone has it

Here are a few things I am surprised nobody has brought up.
I see alot of people disagreeing over what fits, what rubs, etc. throwing out offsets and widths, but few are addressing two of the major factors in making wheels fit:

TIRE SIZE- alot of the flushed-out, super concave setups you see on drift or european cars are running stretched tires i.e. a tire that would fit on a much narrower rim stretched over a much wider rim. This has a whole series of pros and cons that I won't get into.

NEGTIVE CAMBER- sure, that guys is running "XX" wheel dimensions, offset, and tire, but what camber are they running? Camber makes a huge difference in what fits, handling, and tire wear.

FENDER WORK- This can go beyond just rolling. Evo rear fender options are somewhat limited due to the chassis design. Fenders can be rolled, over fenders added, or "pulled" although pulling is more difficult and the results are somewhat limited on sedans like the Evo because there is a door in front of the wheel well.

I know this sounds like alot, and you probably don't need even half of it on your car, but they are all things to consider. I just want to encourage people to think beyond the "what single answer for this result" approach.

 

 

and that there would be a NOT concave wheel!

 

advan rs gunmetal 18x9 with a 29 offset-major concave.

 

TE37 and Work Emotion CR for the win.

 

..

 

- offsets ftw!

 

how about these wheels some nice rota

 

oh, and if you want really concave wheels and flush fitment, you will pretty much have to disregard what the tirerack tells you. they go with what fits the easiest and safest, which is what makes sense for them. but they won't tell yu to get what you need to get that sick face and fitment! in fact they will recommend against it.

 

heres mine 17x9 +29 offset GT-R face

 

i made a post about this check it out and you'll find all the info you need
