Hey Guys,

Would you know if the rear would work in this fitament:

Work Meister S2R - The width is 18x8 with +.51 for the front and 18x9 with +.80 offset in the back

Much appreciated.

seems like it would stick in too far. sure it's not +60,62, or 63? in the rear?

I agree... You may need more brake clearance.
From the hub to the end of the wheel would only be 1.35 inches, and 7.65 the other way!

Why would you want to do +80! I think it wouldn't look right, you wheels would be waaaayyyy to in.

Will, with such a high offset you can fit a 18x10.5 in there. Normal offset for a 10" wide rim is +73. For a 18x9 I would personally do a +35-+50 depending on the amount of camber you want to run and how low you're gonna set up you car. I am currently running a +34 on my 18x9 with 2 degree camber and rolled fenders on 1.75 inch drop. - could go lower however. Goodluck

Yea I never heard of a +80 also. But they are Work Meister S2R 18x9 with +.80 offset in the back?

I dont think it would work either? Is there a way to visually measure the offset without mounting the wheels onto the car?
But I believe they should have a offset stamp somewhere on the wheels if they are Work made correct?

willfong ill do the math for you.. gimme a few seconds.ima edit this in 5

wrs2k had 10.5+74 which is 207.35mm inward from hub on 285
9+80= 194.30mm inward from hub


they wont hit suspension arms but the front edge will be comparitive of a well itl be sunk in like no other..

if 9+62 fits great these are 18mm further in on the rears


this is one case of someone hearing "higher is better" and going for the highest offset made

highest offset made from work in meister s2r 9" wide is 9+63

highest offset made in 9.5 is +69
highest in 10 is +76

your seller isnt sure what hes got.. the highest s2r's could possibly be is above


offset is marked on sticker as well as stamped on back of spoke

Thanks for your info rijowysock. Much appreciated. I have to see the wheels myself inorder to see the correct offset which is stamped on the back of the spoke. I guess on a 9" wide wheel it should be +63. Not sure where they got the +80 from.
