Offset?

[CodyMacRae]

so i come to understand that any 4x100 rims will fit our cars but i phoned today to order some rims for my car and they asked me the offset, does any offset work? or do i need to get a certian one?

[Pico]

40mm offset if I remember right.

['A20A3']

my enkei's are +35 haha its wild

[2drSE-i]

i think anything from 35-45 will work.

[Rendon LX-i]

mine are 36

35-45 on a 6-7" wide wheel will put you closest to stock.

You cannot discuss offset without discussing width, because the same offset on a different width wheel will sit differently.

17x7 +38 sits a helluva lot different than 17x9.5 +38, for example.

Unless you want to run into rubbing issues... if you are running a 7" wide wheel stick with +35mm or higher.

I'm running 15x7" +28mm and have to roll my back fenders because i rub under hard cornering.

^That just means your wheels fit right ;)

^^ haha I'm a fan... but i'm scared of screwing up my fenders while rolling them, or cracking the paint as all my friends have had bad luck using rolling tools before.

You just have to use heat and be patient.

Fender roller is not that hard to use...

nope the rims that i bought ( 16'' Motegi MR7 ) didnt fit :( they were soooo close to fitting but the holes didnt line up

then my guess is you got 4x108, which is a common pattern for newer fords, and volvos.

4x100 is 4x100. That's a direct correllation to the actual count and measurements of the lug pattern. The 4 is for 4-lug. The 100 means you're 100mm center to center on opposite lugs.

I have to disagree with the idea that anything +35mm or higher on a 7" wide wheel will work. Instead I'd say a +38mm is definitely doable, but the +35 is almost certain to rub (if only VERY slightly), but mainly because most 16" tires have curb lips on them to protect the rim from curbing.

i need to roll my rear fenders

[epic1400cs]

OEM wheel is 45mm offset, mugen wheels at that time for Accord is 38mm and if your car is not lowered that is absolute maximum.

[86AccordLxi]

+45mm on a 6" wheel, right? (or are they 5.5" wide).

Anyhow, those are super sunken, too. You can probably come out 1-1.5" on the face of the wheel.

I ran 16x7.5 +35-38mm on my accord, and had to roll the rear fenders a touch (with a 205/40-16) but the faces of the wheel were pretty flush with the fenders (optimal fitmet ;) ).

So you can pretty much get away with a 7" wide wheel with a 35mm offset (which will extend the outer edge of the wheel 23mm over a 6" +45), and that may require a tiny roll to clear.

OEM 14inch wheels are 5 1/2JJ and +45 offset (confirmed with Honda catalogue)
When I was using renault wheels they are 15 6J +36 with 195 tyre and if I lower it with H&R w/o camber correction it fit just about.
