-22 offset

[Yakka]

I've acquired a set of 16x8 rims that have a negative 22 offset. I've used the calculator that is linked on here and it shows that the outer edge will be a further 75mm out.

Will they fit????? I am aware that they will be out past the guards.

*edit: 0 offset = 53 further out. I have read that these will fit, meaning I will only be a further 22mm out.

Yes they will fit.I have 0 offset on mine where they just stick out past the gaurds,Tyres that is.The rim sits in line with the gaurd

Thanks Scotty, I think I'll just get some 285/75's and fit 'em. If they don't work out I'll sell the rims and get +20 or 0 offsets. Didn't pay for the -22's so I guess I'm kinda in front....

You will probably have to put the rubber flares on aswell though

You will also have to cut the inside corners off you mud flaps so the tyres dont rub on them

 

[Yakka]

Yeah, thanks Scotty. I was pretty sure that there'd be a bit of trimming involved.


Has anyone else toyed with the idea of spacing the flares out away from the guards to cover a wider stance?

Just put the rubber ones onto the standard nissan ones.Did you get my pm

HI Yakka, I looked in to spacing the flares, they have poxy plastic retaining clips that hold them to the body, the brackets on the flare are week as piss, i tried bolting through them but they started breaking off the flare. You would have to reinforce them first. I put it in the to hard basket for now, looking at ones off the US Frontier, some bolt on like the Torana's did. Cheers Mick.
