Postby kpxboi0619 » Fri Nov 02, 2007 9:15 pm

I've searched the gen 2 and 2.5 threads about the wheel tech infos..

Can anyone help me with infos about the wheels?
like what fits on Gen2 and 2.5 solaras perfectly with/or without spacers or fender rollings.

For Example

I my case I just use logic and my own experience. My 18's were 8" width and +40mm offset, so I went toward the same thing in my 19's choice. However I could use some spacer to push them out a bit...to look more badass...I'm still not sure about the choice I made...they look good in some angle but I miss so much my 18's lips ! :wink:

I cannot help that much...I can tell you that I work with 2 useful tools to figure it out.

To be able to keep the same overall tire size when changing wheel size I use this following tool : http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp
Enter your current or stock tire specs and at the bottom try different combination to find the best fit for best choice of tire.

For the wheel offset I use this : http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

I put 8" 40 offset to compare with the different wheels I wanna buy...it will tell you by how many mm the wheel will be moving and in which way...then use your logic to do the rest...or ask Milt :P

Oh brother... not again! :roll:

Try looking at the STICKY thread for wheel size and offset?

http://www.solaraguy.org/viewtopic.php?t=32489

...along with the hundreds of other threads pointing to wheel/tire size calculators, etc...

Locking this thread... don't need yet another.
