what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

does anyone know? i was going to get some lenso's b/c i know they'll fit, but i really don't want to spend that much for something that's only going to be on for a couple hours a week :-\

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

I don't think any stock wheel no matter the offset will fit.


Spend the $250.00 you cheap ass. :P

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

i'm not saying stock wheels, just maybe some of those cheap racing wheels you can find for like 80 bucks each or so. besides, there's only like a year wait for lenso's :P

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

13's dont fit beacuse of the wheelsize, not the offset.

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

yes, they do fit with the proper offset ;)

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

si as in 91 - si or 92 + si?

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

as in 00 si

I couldn't get 13" steelies to clear my SiR(that's Si in the states for you Kevin :-*) brakes.

axe that fool what offset he got, or better yet call your local lenso dealer that says that they'll clear si brakes. jeff told me he saw a fool with a gsr that converted to ls brakes to clear his lensos, so you never know with that picture you just put up.

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

the offset for the lenso's is +25, i don't really know what that means though b/c i usually see offests in smaller numbers? also i was wondering if that was the smallest possible offset to fit. there's a guy at my track that has gsr brakes on his hatch and he fit some no name 13's on there? i would ask him, but i haven't seen him out there in a while :P

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

my 15s clear my dx brakes, I don't remember the offset, but as long as they clear I'm happy. my car looks like it's ready for some rock crawling with the new wheels on

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

i would imagine so

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

alright then, if you don't belive me I'll get some pictures then captain I don't believ kyle.

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

i`ve seen someone did it by grinding the caliper a little and used a 0.5mm spacer
oh he was using HX rims too.

DON`T COUNT ON ME :P

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?

damn, that's a tight fit, how'd you manage that ---- :o

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

I had to grind the spacer a little and get 2 jdm control arms for each side. the type r ones.

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

I just bought some 13x8 weld drag wheels and I got them with a 5 inch backspace, but they didn't fit without my 5mm spacers. I have to use spacers with my HX wheels anyways to clear my brakes so it wasn't a big deal. I bought them because I thought they would fit without spacers so I dunno what the deal is. I have used lenso's also and I don't need spacers for them to fit over my brakes. I tried searching honda-techa while ago and really didn't find too much on exactly what backspace I needed.

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

where'd you get the welds? how much?

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

I got them from jeg's, but I should have tried to get them from summitracing because jeg's fucked me over on shipping, jeg's also has shitty customer service. The Weld Racelite drag wheels are $211 each and only weigh 6.26 pounds! I was looking to get some drag wheels for a long time also and those were the ONLY ones anybody had in stock.

If your not worried about weight and want to be cheap you can order some steelies from www.circleracing.com and they should be able to hook you up with the right size. I wanted to go with their import drag wheels, but they couldn't get them made in time for when I wanted them. Circle Racing has great customer service and will be more than happy to help you out.

EDIT: I originally wanted to get lenso's because they were fairly cheap compared to other drag wheels, but nobody has anything in stock and I don't think they will be making them anytime soon. I really didn't want to pay $211 each for wheels, but I didn't want steelies if I was just going to buy lighter wheels later on anyways. :-\

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

cool, thanks pat.

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

No problem. Jeff and I probably emailed and called just about every single place that made wheels you could think a while ago when I was looking for wheels. They are a hard size to get.

Damn, you almost didn't make it. That sucks the tire guy fucked up the rim already. :P Where are the rest of the pics?

My type of price :D But ---- 16.5 pounds :o
I'd rather roll some vx.

Oh and they are local to me too ;D

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

Well they have different wheels too. The 13x8 steelies I was just looking at only had a shipping weight of 14 pounds. Oh and have fun fitting some wide ass slicks on the VX wheels.

Re:what offset do i need to run 13" wheels with si brakes?
 

holy ---- the 13x8's are 14 pounds, that's weird.

Slicks on VX's??? I'm too cheap to buy slicks :P Try to squeeze on some 205s or 215s and call it a day :P
