I found these on ebay and I was wondering if they'll fit? They are 65 offset. What do you guys think? Jason

10" wheels up front is a very tight (some say impossible) fit up front.

 

edited for stupidity...... Your stock 7x16 front wheel is a 65 mm offset which means 1/2 of the additional width 1 1/2 inches is on the inside. so the rim sticks out 1 1/2 farther than stock it will hit the fender but there are cars out there with just that problem I can only conclude that they are never driven....

 

I thought that would mean that with 65mm offset..it would basically split the difference inside and out? isn't offset the measurement from the flats of the mounting area to the centerline of the rim? maybe someone could post up a pic...cause I'm confusing myself already LOL

all my rims have 60mm offsets

 

That was a brain fart on my part...now edited thanks for pointing that out

 

I bought the same wheels. Do a search: 996 Wheels Four 10 x 18 ET 65

 

Whew! Had me going there for a minute. I barely have a grasp of how these things are calculated, so I was sure it was me that had it wrong.

 

Because you don't know how to?

Haha..I felt the same way Bill, was thinking crap...must re-look at the wheel offset figures... LOL..thanks for posting that pic...I found the same one at :

Erik, Thanks for the help. I searched and found but couldn't forward.

 

You guys have some great info. I'm mobile right now so my question is will they work or should I look for something else? They seem like a good deal. Jason

 

Bill what's the source of the graphic? HELL of a deal on the rims btw.

 

The rims will stick out beyond the fender. With tires that are narrower than the rim or flaring of the fender lip, others have used them, as indicated in the other thread that H-P linked. I would vote no.

 

It's from the link Tom provided.

 

It's a great graphic.
