Work Emotion CR-Kai
 

i want to get these rims in a 18x9.5 but idk if they would be too wide and on offset i have no clue what that is haha someone explain? please

The Work Emotion CR-Kai wheels are available in either Flat Face, Semi Concave Face, or Deep Concave Face.
Usually you would want the face of the wheel to be the same both front & rear; otherwise due to the design of this wheel, the spokes will be at different angles radiating from the center out to the lip of the wheel.

The 18x9.5 is too wide for the front and is only available as Deep Concave Face, which none of the other sizes are, so you couldn't do a staggered set-up without the front and rear wheel faces being different. I'd suggest avoiding it for that reason.

If you want 18x8.5 all around, they are available in both Flat Face and Semi Concave Face, in a variety of offsets.

If you want a staggered set-up, you're looking at Flat Face with 18x7.5 fronts and 18x8.5 rears.

What kind of a drop do you plan on, because this will determine how aggressive you can go with the offsets?

Do you prefer all 4 wheels & tires the same, or do you want a staggered set-up?

Answering these questions will help determine the best size and offset for you.

im going to get ksports and im not really into staggered because then when my trie wear i cant rotate and id have to change the tires

i am running this set up and a 9.5 will fit cionide trust me wink wink lol if you want pics i can point you to my photobucket

yeah hit me up with the link please

Ok when im on my comp next i will but only of the 7.5s i have on right now and if u need a good place to buy let me know got my first ones for 1300 the 9.5s i had to have made u will have to spend alot more

ok thank you

Cory, the highest offset the 18x9.5's come in off-the-shelf is +38. Are you trying to tell me that these will fit on the front of an xB2 riding on Ksport coilovers with no rubbing?

I'm not arguing, just F'ing amazed! :shock:

K sports have many adjustemts u can inset the wheel a half inch with the woble hole then adjust the camber back its nice so it like a 8.5 but i will be running about -4 of camber in the front and they are not off the shelf lol

Gotcha, but that's probably not what anthonyha will be doing, especially since he doesn't understand offset that well. I was trying to give him general info that would apply to the layman. I'm guessing if he doesn't know offsets, he probably won't be into all the intricacies of camber adjustments and the expense of special ordering wheels that are not off-the-shelf. I've seen too many people buy coilovers because of the low drop they provide, but not understand all of their adjustments (or even how to install them properly), and be frustrated with their decision in the end.

yeah i wouldnt know how to adjust all that so 9.5s would fit but 8.5 would fit for sure?

If you want to drop it low on coilovers and not roll the fenders, I'd go with the 18x8.5 +43 offset and 225/40-18 tires.

he is correct here is my set up i am on ksports and these are 17 7.5 on ksports with nito invos

haha those are the same tires i want looks nice tho

these are for sale if you are interested they have less then 2000 miles not scratches no rash no nothing if your interested let me know

So those 17x7.5's are custom right?
Do you know what the offset is on them?

If you like that look, you might want to consider the 18x7.5 wheels.

no they are off the shelf the 9.5s cough cough are

i would have definatly got them if they were 18s

The reason I asked if your 17x7.5's are custom is because Work doesn't list 17x7.5 as an available size on their website. :ponder:
