Any bros can help me with the off set of the 8? Is it only specific off set can fit the car? i.e. if the off set numeric is smaller, willit still fit the car?

 

how small is ur small offset?

How abt the size of rims?

 

The rims i intend to buy is off set at +42 18in 235 and 255. pls advice tks.

 

don't mind me offtopic yet again...sounds like a initial drifting setup.....

 

both sizes are ok.

if not wrong, front 8.5in, rear 9.5in. Or 8in and 9in, right?

 

Correct offset depends on the width of the rims, +42 may be okay for 9.5in but not for 8.5in. 235 and 255 is the width of the tire which will have no problems fitting on the 8 (assuming offset is correct), but you need to know the width of the rims first.

 

Unless you are packing some hp under that hood i do not think that a 255 width tire would be good for your 8 . For better all round grip , i would suggest sticking to OEM of same width all around. 235 or 245 tires would work. if you still want a staggered set-up 225or 235 in front and 245 in the rear. 245 would be the most i would go for a 2 rotor NA 8.
As for offsets, you would be good with a 35-40offset for the rims.

Warning: Changing tire width/size will increase rolling resistance and drag. You will see a decrease in fuel economy ( ..hehe.. can't believe i said that) and may be an inaccuracy in your speed reading.

I really want to meet you and see your 8.

Come to our meetup leh.

 

Haha... Emperor. So fast buaya already

 

Ooops... pit cha lobang.

 

I am definately the staright kind. If meeting people is being buaya; then even fortnight we can be considered gays as the whole bunch of us bro (and sistas) meet each other.

Always see your posts but never see you in person.

 

wah i tink i the ultimate buaya liao. always organise meetups... meet different pple....

 

I got bf la. not available anymore. tks for the advice.

 

lol, you said it yourself. Not me :P :

 

Oei Oei..

Please don't think we are like lao tikos (maybe really got one or two)

Our meetups are clean.

Just in case you got frighten away.

 

hahahahaha

 

From the other thread, maybe i can confirm the 2 lao tikos...

 

what is a "lao tikos"?

 

You are one FINE example of the being one of the LAO TIKO brotherhood

 

???????

 

It depends how old are you. Youung is only tiko, old then you are lao tiko.

 

to rxbabe : dun worry, we are a friendly bunch of people.. although I am a newbie to this club, I can sense that all of them are pretty good through meetups, makans and roundings... hope to catch up ya soon...

anyway my offset is +38 and tires is 235 front and 265 back...

 

I am running +43. Actually would prefer +40.

My only concern is that running too small offsets will cause the tires to rub on the body and/or cuase the stock suspension to work harder; maybe end up have to change suspension.

tan280: Wow! 265. Next time LTA can hire you to smooth roads and they can save on steamrollers.

 

haha Emperor, so next time can approve anything liao cause all sponsor by LTA.. haha... anyway I think most of us use lighted weight rims ba so more or less the same right?
