+43 offest?

CivicBeater · 10-04-2007, 06:22 AM

I'm clueless when it comes to rims. I'm looking at someone selling some rims off a mazda however the offset is 43. Will this work for me?

This website might help you understand wheels a little better, just play around with it =P www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp

CivicBeater · 10-04-2007, 06:14 PM

if you give me stock dimensions it would help using that site

+45 is stock offset i believe

CivicBeater · 10-04-2007, 06:16 PM

cool do you know stock size of rim? 17x what?

**Nomar06** · 10-04-2007, 06:21 PM

43 offset would work. They will stick out a tiny bit more than stock wheels.

what is the most common offset for aftermarket wheels for us???

**Izzy** · 10-04-2007, 06:44 PM

Depends on the width of the wheel.

Our OEM wheel is 17x7 +45 if I remember right.

CivicBeater · 10-04-2007, 06:46 PM

well than what's the most common width?

If i don't get these used wheels i'll be ordering some rotas. However i have no idea on what combo to go with for a 17" size. Any help appreciated.

Depends on the person, probably 7" width. (My wheels are 8" wide) But, honestly, the wheels you stated are fine. In fact, I'd probably like them, since they'll stick out a bit more than OEM -- making it more flush with the wheel well.
