rim question.

[JDM BOII]

alright guys I am ordering new wheelss soon
and have a couple questions,

the rim choice is 15.7 4x100 plus 35 and 15.7 4x100 plus 42

which rim has the bigger lip??

I want a bigger lip on my rim. so lmk thanks

[The President]

+35 will more than likely have the larger lip, however; the lip still won't be "that big". if you want a lip get something thats like +15, or if you have the suspension/camber for it, get +0.

What wheel is it.....

Yup.

PS - shouldn't this be in the wheel/tire/suspension/etc area in the Tech forum? :crazy:

regardless of the wheel, won't a lower offeset create more of a lip or have a more concave face?

Nope. You can get Team Dynamics wheels in 15x7 4x100 and either +35, +40, or +45 offset and they all have the same basic face and design.

hmm, didn't know that but, i can see them being fairly similar considering there is only a 10mm difference.

As Simon stated not in all cases.

10mm sometimes can play a HUGE difference in the wheel, again it would depend on the type of wheel. For the most part, that offset is too high for any kind of "lip" or concaveness, I know the TEs dont go into the concave look till about a +22.

Concave TE's look soooo good!

I dont think you wont notice the difference in the lip in either set up. The one with the lower offset will just sit with more of the "flush" look which looks better imo.

[JDM BOII]

so go with 35?

[Nate_AP1]

15s are small?

15's with low offsets will make it look like daytons :(

LOL, +35 is not a low offset.

Here's what 14's and +35 offset looks like on an 88-91 hatch:

Dayton's.....right.....sure.....

[Nate_AP1]

Those look stock?... maybe 14x6 or something..


I was talking about like this

or a more extreme example

Size up wheels and get some tires that fit FTW :)

[ILIKETODRIVE]

Yes, they're OEM BMW wheels.

However, I posted it because you said this:

15's with low offsets will make it look like daytons :(

and the whole time we were only talking about a +35 offset, which is far from low. That pic of the EK looks like (at most) a +15 offset.

[Nate_AP1]

apologies - as my 'low' is like +45 :(

to the OP, 16's sure wouldn't hurt tho :)

[JDM BOII]

16s on a crx... no thank you

[crx88]

16s on a crx... no thank you

x2.. stay 15's! :tits:

[ILIKETODRIVE]

Yeah, S2K's are waaay different. When I found out +45 was a good offset for them I was like waaaaaahhh?

You can push a lil more then that..of course youre going to have to pull and roll but it will look gangster :lmao:. No one does under 45 on my car and im planning on doing way lower then 45...

[Chinky]

Well the concave look starts at about a +22, But ill ask to make sure thats something you can get in a 16x7/8.
