What's a reasonable wheel upgrade for my bone stock MK1 MR2? Great channel guys...

[@andyly6651]

I always see what other people run, then buy wheels and tyres that are roughly similar in size, THEN modify the body to fit the wheels.

[@hersir557]

If you change from 235/45r17 to 235/35r18 then your tire will be 1 inch smaller. You would have to go from 235/45r17 to 225/40r18 to be similar. It will only be 0,2 inches smaller

when plus sizing, how does it effect the tire pressure you'll use on your tires? id like to plus size from 16" to 18" rims, and ive gotten a good tire size with the 1010tire calculator. still in the planning phase as far as rims go

[@Drunken_Hamster]

Look up the chalk test for tire pressure.

[@ABHIJEET630]

what if i go low on offset with spacer adapters and my tire sticks out of the fender and i like that setup, is that considered good fitment? I am not planning to go widebody yet. and i have factory camber with factory ride height (because i dont like slamming)

I’m trying to figure out my fitment for my 12’ Civic. I was thinking of going with 8.5-215/40/R17 (Offset Undecided) I would like it to poke a bit without much of a gap but to have the clearance it needs. Without needing to roll or cut preferably. This is my daily driver so I want to be safe, but also have the look of stretch. Thanks!

[@milkyway6724]

So here's a whacktacular question: Would it be possible to take a set of rims to a machine shop and get them to shave off a couple millimeters of offset? For example, if you have a set of +44mm rims, could you shave them down to a +48mm? Does this mess up balance or wheel strength/integrety or something? (Forgive me if it's a stupid question... but instincts tell me in theory, that the "opposite" of using spacers would be machining the hub down from the inside.... no clue if it's actually possible.)

Do I want shorter or longer swaybars? In front or back aswell. Does it matter?

The rim that you have right next to you what is that reason why I’m asking I’m a novice to this and I bought a G35 that came with that very same one but I noticed that the set to the rear has a deeper dish, i want to get a different set of rims with the same offset any advice?

[@austinballard8867]

so if I like someones fitment, but I want different wheels, can I take their exact wheel size and tire size to a different wheel? im so confused by offset. it seems different depending on if the wheel is concave or not. ill find a picture of a fitment I like, but won't be able to afford the rims, so ill google rims I can afford that are the same size, but they look way different fitment wise?

[@profiting-off-others-miser1328]

Or you can do fitment the mk2 and mk3 vw way by putting other car manufacturers oem wheels on that are way to wide which forces you to use near disasterous tire stretch and ridiculous negative camber and then pray that you poked out wheel dosent slam to hard against the fender lip causing a tire blow out that makes you understeer right off the road in to a ditch

[@imdabl]

"What Is a Wheel and What Is a Rim? Are They the Same Thing? It may seem obvious, but a wheel is comprised of a hub, spokes and rim. Sometimes these components will be one piece, sometimes two or three. The hub is the center portion of the wheel and is what attaches the wheel to the suspension. The spokes radiate out from the hub and attach to the rim. The rim is the outer part of the wheel that holds the tire. **While many people refer to wheels as "rims," this is technically incorrect.** We'll discuss several ways that wheels are manufactured below." -tirerack.com
