2053, what rim measurements...??? Posted by phatGS, Apr-29-01 11:33 AM Alright, I'm heading up to Carlisle this weekend to hopefully find some rims at a good price. I want 18's, what's the widest i can go without rubbing? What tire size would i run with that? What measurements do i need to know (i.e. offset, bore pattern)...what's 'hubcentric' fit mean? Thanks. Anything else you can think of that I'd need to know would be appreciated. | |

2057, RE: what rim measurements...??? Posted by sd_eclipse, May-02-01 01:50 AM My rims are 18"x7.5" with 225/40/r18 tires. No rubbing problems after i got the rear fenders rolled. Think the offset is 38mm. Not quite sure I'll have to look that one up. | |

2058, RE: what rim measurements...??? Posted by sd_eclipse, May-02-01 02:22 AM Sorry, missed your question about "hubcentric" in my first reply. hubcentric basically means that most of the vehicles weight stress is placed on the hub and not the lugs. Its the exact opposite of "lugcentric" meaning most of the weight stress is placed on the lugs and not the hub. On cars that use "hubcentric" wheels getting the center bore correct is important. | |
