im about to lower my '02 with neuspeed sport springs, so drop is about an inch and a quarter. i need to know the proper offset needed for rota slipstreams in 16x7 and 16x8 that will keep the wheel as close to the fender as possible w/o rubbing. tires i am reusing are are 205/55/16, 225/50/16 fuzion zri
also, is it true that the rear factory s-03's in 225 are basically equivalent to a 245? if so then i guess my fuzions need to be upgraded to 245/45/16

 

Hi,

What offsets are offered in the slipstreams?

The general consensus is that the factory Bridgestones are the equivalent of a 245 tire and that replacements should be in the 245 size.

 

As big as you can get if I remember correctly. I think its +45 on the 16x7s and +48 16x8s.

 

Are you using these wheels for track or daily driving? You should be fine on the rubbing so long as you don't slam your car.

 

you are correct. that is what i have on mine. i cant say on the lowering part yet, i havent had time to put my Eibach's on but i highly doubt i'll rub with them at all. i think you'd have to have coilovers to rub.

 

thanks everyone. looks like ill be ok on the street with +45 front and +48 rear with my neuspeed sports
