Southern Hardstyle Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 looking at putting some old jdm wheels on a fwd cordia just wondering how low an offset i can go on the front and the rear for say 7" wheels? and any more info on if i go skinnier wheels (6" 6.5") what offsets i can run?

xsspeed Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 35 will work for certain lol, I will be attempting my 15x7's at 15p offset, which imo is pushing it. 20, 25, 27 would all be safe-ish Disclaimer: A lot will depend on what it has from factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock-Lee Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 /camber and tiny tyres. Put the police will be getting all antsy around stretch and shit and also you will be understeering all over the place. Fuck, doit. Id laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Hardstyle Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 i mean atm i have some standard laurel rwd 15's on there and dont have a problem with them, should really check the offset on them though, and they arent very wide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Note the specifics of those wheels; Get your measuring tape out. Measure amount of clearance inwards and outwards. Figure it out for yourself. Done I don't think there's a large amount of Cordia owners on here to help you out with specifics so best to just do it yourself.

H05TYL Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 You can go as low (or even negative) offset as you like, you'll just need more guard mods to cover them. Keep in mind that as the offset decreases the scrub radius (amount the wheel moves forwards or backwards when you turn) increases, making your steering heavier. Also, specifically in a fwd it will increase torque steer. The reason fwd's run huge positive offset from factory is so the steering axis (line from top of the strut to lower ball joint, about which the steering pivots) hits the ground outside of the centre of the tires contact patch. About this point complicated physics (which I don't understand) take over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
