People throw tire and wheel sizes around but they usually dont show offset.
Does anyone know where I can find a dependable chart. |

Shocks don't make a car stiff.... Springs do. And the stiction from not TRTproperly installed bushings can really contribute to spring rate The 7R wheel on the chart is basically perfect offset and the reason a real 7r will fit. Of course a real 7r is 1k per a wheel. The 14 inch windmill that was stock on 6 cars was in my opinion used because it also has perfect offset. It is 2mm different than a 7r and a great fitment. It is also the cheapest fuch you can buy. It is also period correct. It will also give you a smoother ride as most tires available in 14 sizes have a taller sidewall. It also is a "deep" look wheel and cool looking. It does have down sizes. It is the least performance oriented due to the smaller diameter. Smaller width. And lack of tire selection. All of the 5bolt Fuchs and cookie cutters have the same offset and will fit an undamaged stock car I am in the process of doint the 5 lug conversion and bought a set of 14" fuchs from Luke M, that were original to the 914/6- came off of his.- Since when i bought my car it had 15" 8-spoke epmi's and i had/have 195/50's on it now, they do not rub-(i also have new springs and sport bilistein shocks), it is really tight and we did roll the fender lip, but that offset is different than the 14" fuchs going on there soon- i will be putting on 195/65's(14) as the offset is correct and will fit a bit better, also a little bit more sidewall, kind of a compromise between the stock tires which were 185/75 i believe. - i think if you get the Fuchs with correct off-set you will have no issue with the 195's., some guys have 205's on narrow body cars. |
