i have eurolines on my r31 coupe .. same offsets.... bleeding theyre not multistudded.
but sounds like the go .. 10s and 9s +20 to +30 area
yours have 265 rear? 235 or 225 front?
i wasnt totally convinced at 18s looking big enough on an aristo .but they look pretty sweet to me .. same style of rim im lookin at buying. _________________
hey I`m looking at buying a set of 20x8.5 +20 offset rims for the front and 20x10 +25 offset for the rear of my aristo. Anyone know if these will fit? with or without rolling the guards? thanks for your help.
plug your width and offset values against his.. u'll get an idea of where they'll be going by he's pics he posted of he's ride. in members rides _________________
I was again offered another set of wheel from a R34 Skyline GT-T, with 235/45/18 front and 265/35/18 rear. I am wondering if it has the same offset with Aristo

I know some skylines have wacky like 45p offset and stuf so would prob stay away from those rims... Personally, 19x8.5 front with 235s, 19x9.5 rear with 245s 15p offset on the rear, cant remember what the front offset is but its different and i cant be assed measuring theres photos on here under members rides.. think my post has got 'looking good' in the title.. andyea, no lipping required, they tuck under the guards nicely.

i started a thread on offset on another site. here is an exert:
Offset - what is it? The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel, measured in millimetres.
A zero offset, +0, means that the mounting surface is in the direct centre of the wheel. A positive offset, as per the picture above, moves the mounting surface towards the outside of the car (meaning a larger percentage of the wheel will be under the guards). A negative offset does the reverse, moving the wheels further towards the outside of the car. The measurement of offset is almost always in millimetres.
The jzs147 comes with 16x7.5 +50 wheels standard (please correct me if im wrong).
Or you could just do the maths yourself! Lets assume you currently have a 16x7.5 +50 wheel, and are considering a set of 19x10 +35s.
Without even looking at the offsets, you can see that you're going to need an extra 2.5" (62.5 odd mm) of clearance - the offset will determine which side of the mounting face you find the extra space.
current distance between hub and outer face of wheel (half width less offset): (187.5/2 - 50) = 43.6mm.
new distance between hub and outer face of wheel (half width less offset): (250/2 - 35) = 90mm.
old distance less new distance: (43.6mm-90mm) = -46.4mm.
This means that the wheel will stick out 46.4mm further than the old set.
There is also the issue of space on the inside of the wheel, towards the strut tower. There is 2.5" (62.5mm) difference in the width of the wheels, and we now know that 46.4mm of the difference will be on the outside, which leaves 16.1mm of additional clearance required on the inside.
NOTES:
There are a few factors which will change the fitment of the wheel - tyre sizes, ride height, spacers, suspension setup (coilovers usually give more inside clearance), negative camber, etc.
Most of these can be used to your advantage to get the exact look you're after. I would suggest its better to buy a wheel with a slightly more positive offset, as a spacer is a cheap and easy way to fix fitment issues.
18 by 10 work emotion CRs , 255 35 18 tyres look flush(ish), little small for rim...gtr offset stick out the guards by about a cm rear and about 2 or so front.

camber/ride height has a hell of a lot to do with it and also tyre size. and it is also relative to what you as a person call flush and what look you want.
it is possible for a car to have one set of rims in say 9+30 10+30 and the owner say theyre level with the guards. but this car may only mildly lowered, have almost zero camber, and have square-edged tyres.
the same car could be lowered heavily, run some slightly undersize tyres, and get natural camber due to extra lowering front and rear thus giving -2 front and say -3 rear. The wheels he then had will be WELL inside the guards.
then some people like their rears to 'tuck under'. many of the modern jap vip demo cars i see browsing the net run say 19s front and 20s rear so as to acheive tuck at the back.
it is impossible to say what is the "correct" offset. With my S13 i went through numerous guard mods, 3 sets of wheels, and 3 sets of spacers before buying brand new from Japan having done all my sums.
the best thing to try and do is to set up your car in every other way apart from the wheels, and then take measurements as best you can. that is what i intend to do.
