Just purchased a set of 16 x 7 Motegi Traklite 1.0's with a +42 offset. I'll be running them with Hoosier 26 x 9.5 x 16 QTP's.

The car has a complete Wilwood/AMS lightweight race brake kit and Apexi coilovers.

I want to keep wheel spacers to a minimum if at all needed. Let me know what you guys think I will need.

I hate trying to figure this stuff out lol!!

Thanks.

 

Your back space is only 129mm, so you should be fine as long as the tire clear the strut on the inside which it should have no problem at 9.5in

 

I just editied my first post. They are +42 not +40.

 

Youre still fine due to the narrow width. Stock backspacing is 139.6.

To calculate it, the equation is [ (wheel width)/2 * 25.4 + offset ]. Basically youre calculating the distance from the hub face to the the inner edge of the wheel.

 

Thanks for the help. I'll be happy not to have to add any spacers!

 

hey when you get a chance I'd like to see some pics of the 16 x 7 Motegi Traklite wheels.

 

They are being delivered Wednesday

 

Wheels and tires are being mounted and balanced this week.

Hopefully I'll get some pics up this weekand.

I am still hoping that no wheel spacers are needed and that it looks good.
