Meh, this blows.

yup, i just ranted about paying 1200 on the re11s in 19s. dont feel bad

flashburn · 03-17-2011, 01:17 PM

I'm not seeing a spot on tires.com to choose the offset.

I'm just seeing 18X9.5 5-114.3 25GBL, which I'm guessing 25GBL is the offset, but no other options to choose a different offset.

edit: Not to mention, no Kumho XS are available in my area, so it doesn't even let me select them. Same with RE-11's. This **** is getting annoying.

when do you need it by?

25 is the offset, gbl is the color.

you need 45 offset in front and 25 in rear

My next track event is end of April, so around a week before then.

So I did find someone that could sell me just the rear base 18's. This offset + my spacers won't work for the front though, right?

i paid for a set of re11 yesterday, wont be here until the end of the month. i know how you feel man, my *** is still hurting from the dry anal

if you have spacers, you can probably buy 4 25mm wheel and use the 15 or 20mm in the front.. thats even better! you can rotate your tires! i run 35mm as a compromise so i dont have to use spacers!

order them today, you will have it by end of month i bet. you will love the 275 35 18 setup, stagger setup are mainly for looks and safety in a front engine car. (or class limitation).

Why would you run spacers up front? The rears need lower offsets than the front.

No, 5mm

cossie1600 · 03-17-2011, 02:14 PM

just double check the konig clear over the sports caliper

sell your oem 18s on the maxima forums, those guys love it

cossie1600 · 03-17-2011, 02:14 PM

40 something up front, 15 rear.

flashburn · 03-17-2011, 02:20 PM

I'm so confused. No go on running the base 18 rears on the front with a 15mm spacer?

You'd want no spacer if you ran them up front. A spacer decreases offset.
