I have been through countless forum msgs and still cant find the answer to my question....
We all know the stock enkeis are 17x8 5x114.3 but...

1 - what is the stock wheel offset?
2 - what offsets on another 17 x 8" wheel will fit the vehicle?

These will be used for auto x this year - stock class requires us to keep stock wheel size +/- 1/4" offset (i think that is approx +/- 6mm)

I saw a thing on a 350z site which answered the Plus zero, +1, +2 questions for the 350z and took all of the guessing out of the equation.

Thanks - jwh

 

Hi there,

I'm going thru the same thing. The stock offset is +38mm. As for what offset would work, it depends on spoke design to clear our brakes. All the wheels are different.

I myself is debateing to go stock size.

Either,
1. Stock OEM rims.
2. Enkei Tarmac Cast "17 X 8 +35mm
3. rays Volk CE28n 17 X 8 +33mm

PCD is all 114.3 i think.

I'm really considering the ce28's

 

Stock wheel offset is +38mm

 

Thanks for your help...

gtr...Enkei RPM2's and Hoosier A3S03s are on the way.....

17x8 5x114 +35 offset 225/ wheel at tires.com
i bought the hoosiers from the tirerack...good luck this year.

 

Those RPM II look pretty sweet. I might use them for the winter with 245/45/17 pilot XGT I had laying around from my mustang GT. How much do they weight?

 

you went down to a 225 tire...?

 

The wheels were $225 each but actually yes I am going to run 225/45/17 hoosiers. the 245 tires would have been tight on an 8" wheel and i was afraid the tire might rub w/ 10mm wider tire and 3mm less offset.

 

per the enkei site - the 17x8 rpm2s weigh 17.6# each
