Wheel offset question

[Syclone0565]

Have searched for a couple hours and can not find simple answer. (Patience issue)
Front wheel size: 18 x 8.5
Offset 46mm

Will this work on the front of a stock Syclone? Spacer required to sit flush?

Thanks
Will

Its gonna stick out a little. You want closer to 50 mm

Here is the link to the syty wheel offset calculator. It will tell you everything you want to know.

And from that, it should be fine. Just 1mm out from stock.

Re: Wheel offset question

I am not smart enough to use that calculator. I will take your word on the 1mm out though.

Thanks :tup:

Re: Wheel offset question

Was looking at this set of rims. I know the rears will work, Just wasn't for sure the fronts would work. I saw someone else had these in a search but there were no specs. I think he used the 18 x 8.5's all the way around and added a spacer in the rear. Again not for sure as the post was lacking that spec.

Re: Wheel offset question

10.5" rear with 56mm, is 11mm inset. So you would need a small spacer and longer lugs for the rear. The fronts should be fine though.

EDIT: Make sure to look into the tires as well. Depending on what brand you want and what sizes they have. (check manufactures rollout/dia) Some times the tire you want, doesnt come in both sizes needed to work on some wheel widths. You should be fine, but just something else to think about and look at.

Thanks, I knew I could find tires that will be withing the 0.0 - 0.2 diameter difference range. Just wanted to make sure the rims would work :tup:

Thanks for your time and help

Cool.

See ya there.

Is that hood gone? I want an autographed dryer vent hood.

Even if it's a replica I would be glad to bask in the gayness of your stupidity. Or the stupidity of your gayness whatever.

Re: Wheel offset question

11mm is only .43inches. That's not really gonna matter, right?

It would be fine. But its going to look a little goofy having the rear wheels sucked in. And the longest spacer you can go with stock lugs is about .25" and even then its not many threads holding.

Need a 3/8" or 1/2" spacer, and 1/2" longer studs to have a good (and safe) setup. IMO with those wheels.
