i just got off phone to pro comp wheels and they told me they cant help me with 16inch wheels for a d22 because they rub on calliper, now i've seen guys rigs with them on so i'd like to know how to get past this problem..
i was shitting it pretty bad cause i had another mate ask if they where going to fit and said alloys usually wont.
yeah its going to stick out a fair amount, they say 0mm offset on an 8inch rim will bring the rims out level with the guards, Ive got -12mm (extra 12mm out) and with tyre yeah its going to stick out a bit, which i dont mind.
if you dont mind me asking how much did they want for the wheels?
they probably dont fit on factory offset due to the shape. just get a further offset rim should fix the problem. Stock is +40 i think
have a look on procomp web site, the alloys only come in a few offsets hence why i had to go -12mm
i got mine from low range offroad as it was almost half the cost then to buy them in aus
what you want is 16x8 inch rim with 0mm offset thats idealy but most of the rims dont come in 0mm offset.
- offset make it stand out more, + will bring the wheel back into the car, but you may run into clearnce problems.
there is nothing wrong with the tyres hanging out if you got then covered however i do beleive there is a maximum you can go
You will have problems with tyres rubbing at full lock with any rims with 0 or neg offset without bodylift. Mate with a stock D22 had 16x8 -5 with 275/70R16 fitted and had trouble turning back to the tyre shop to get them taken off, couldn't even get the wheels to full lock as the rubbing was that bad. Turn your wheels full lock (on the ground) and check out how close they are to the mudflap to see how little space there is. 16x8 +20 with 265/75R16 should fit with some trimming of the mudflap.
Cheers
P.S. Stock D22 str rim is 16x7 +40
+40 will pull them in closer to the car.
