Rims for the ef race car

hbasher · 17th August 2008, 07:04 PM

Ok need some tyre gurus help, looking at getting some new rims to fit the ef civic. Now i understand 4x100 and width just dont understand offset and if they will fit. The rims i am looking at size is 15x6 1/2jj with offset of 45. Now the civic is going to be rather low so are these going to fit ok or not?

DrRubber · 17th August 2008, 07:08 PM

yes they will fit fine.

offset is the distance between the centre line of the wheel and the hub mounting face of the wheel....if it is foward of the centre line it is a positive offset.....if it is rearward of the centreline it is a negitive offset.........if it is even then its a zero offset.

With 15x6.5" you should be able to safely go for a +35 offset and not have any issues

BTLF3D · 17th August 2008, 07:31 PM

if the car is for track racing i would be looking for something wider than 6.5"...

DrRubber · 17th August 2008, 07:37 PM

meh, stuff all differance between a 6.5 and a 7 inch rim really.....

I ran 6.5 with no probs......7 inch is preferable but 6.5 is ok

croolies · 17th August 2008, 07:40 PM

sorry to jump on the badwagon, so higher offset the rims stick out further from the car and low ofset makes them closer?

DrRubber · 17th August 2008, 07:50 PM

other way round

I was thinking that, what sort of width tyre will a 6.5" rim take? a 205? was looking at running 205 semis or slicks. Recommendations?

yeah man 6.5" will seat a 205 no worries, i have 205/50/15 R888's on 6.5" rims as my trackwheels

VTAKYO · 18th August 2008, 04:35 PM

Bridgestone T's. I have only ever seen them with polished lips though... so must have been painted

DrRubber · 18th August 2008, 05:17 PM

DrRubber · 18th August 2008, 05:18 PM

hbasher · 22nd August 2008, 04:45 PM

Ok so they turned up, look mint the only marking i could find on them is a little insignia like a roman number II and a number om217 on the back thats all i could fin, they are rather light i think.
