would i need some spacers for a 40 offset? im debating of purchasing these Konigs, and just curious how offset works.

thanks! :D

what size? 17x7? That's what I'm guessing.

Doubt you'll be needing spacers to make them fit, but they'll be sunk in, so spacers will only help.

 

no, you won't need them to make them work. they'll fit just fine on their own.

the real question is: will they look better w/ spacer shims? the answer is: yes!

 

I have 17x7 inch Konig's and lowered 2", as people have stated you do not need a spacer...However, it would look better to bring the rear wheels closer to the edge of the fender...What Konig's are you getting?

 

im thinking of the Unknowns or maybe the Crosshairs on a SM xB.

i know i would need a spacer on the back, but how much of one to make it flush with the front tire?

<-- tire noob :D

 

10mm shims will make the rears even with the fronts. If you want to have a fat stance I'd also put 10 or 15mm spacers all around to compensate for the Honda offset.

 

by fat stance you mean having the bowed out tire effect? does that actually look good on our boxes?

 

I like both, the Unknowns and the Crosshairs...If you get the 17's they come in a 40 offset so you don't need a spacer but if you want the rim to sit closer to the fender's edge then a 10mm spacer should do the trick...

Check out what I had done to my Konig Unknowns to make them different...Painted by Garage Shop Customs (n2htwlz in D&S)...Here are a couple pics, let me know what you think!

 

it actually looks quite good. i think where yours is yellow with some SM would look pretty badass! hm... decisions decisions..

i assume konig is quite a relable rim manufacturer?

 

I love my Konigs...Not a super cheapo rim but diffinately not top of the line...I would compare them to maybe Enkei's

 

Are those wheels painted black inside the chrome spokes? It's hard to tell. And is it powder coated, and is there clear over everything?

 

The black between the silver portion of the spokes was always there...I left that part black and had the remainder of the black painted RS2 Solar Yellow...I wanted somewhat of a 3D look to them...Being that I am a Steelers fan, I love black and yellow...It is in fact paint and has several coats of clear...

 

i used the search function because i remembered we have discussed this at length. i found this thread:

it should help your understanding of offsets a good deal.
good luck!
