Hey guys just wanted to see if you guys happened to know what that max offset that our TC can run so that the wheels sit flush to the body without having to roll our fenders. Furthermore what is the widest wheel we can run? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

29?

my frend is riding 32 mm and im runnin 35mm

and our's sit really flush. but i might need a 5mm spacer in teh back

 

i am running 17x8 +32mm all around dropped almost slammed on tein basics. it doesnt rub. it sits pretty flush with the fender. i should be rubbing in the rear but i have a little negative camber back there so it helps.

it depends on alot of things:
how low your drop is.
how much of a tire sidewall profile you plan to run
how big of a wheel you plan to run (18" 19")
and how wide of a wheel you plan to run.

i've seen a 18x8F and 18x9R setup recently from someone here but i've yet to see if he rolled the fenders.

so i think maybe +30mm would be the lowest offset you should be able to run without rolling fenders.

 

The width of the wheel and its offset determine how much the wheel can stick out. There are too many combinations.
Let me drop some knowledge on you (get your math caps on).....

Using the stock set up (7 inch wide wheel, 45mm offset), the tC has about 20mm front and 25mm rear of room for a wheel to stick out and sit about flush.
1inch = 24mm. "ET" is offset in millimeters (the lower the number, the wheel sticks out more).

Checkout these scenarios (front wheels only):
Scenario 1: 7 inch wheel with a 25mm offset.
Scenario 2: 8 inch wheel with a 37mm offset.

In both scenarios, the wheel would sit flush and stick out equally. Why?
Scenario 1 is simply pushed out 20mm over stock. Scenario 2 is pushed out 8mm compared to stock, but the wheel is 1 inch wider, which adds 12mm on each side of the wheel. So the total amount Scenario 2 is pushed out is 20mm (8mm+12mm). On the inside of the wheel, Scenario 2 sticks out 4mm (12mm-8mm) over stock.

Tire size also has a great deal to do with how much a wheel sticks out. Narrower tires can mean less rubbing. For a 17 inch wheel, 205/40 is the narrowest. For a 18 inch wheel, 215/35 is the narrowest. In Europe you can find thinner sizes, but they are not DOT approved for American use.



Btw, i forsee a move to Bread & Butter.

 

Im slammed in the front on tein ss-p coilovers running... 18x8.5 with 35 I beleive axis reverbs.

 

duma any pics of ur setup
