right now i have oem turbo wheels which are +51. will an additional 6mm be too much?

anyone try it? there are a set of wheels i have my eye on.

 

does anyone know if this offset will fit?

 

I run Turbo wheels on my NB with 5mm spacers...I had 7mm spacers but it was too much even though it was only 2mm more.

 

The effect of +45 offset is the same as OEM WB rears at +51 with a 6mm spacer. Imagine your turbo wheels pushed out 6mm in the rear on both sides (they should be +51ET right now). Use a ruler, eyeball the part of the wheel sticking out of the wheel well the most, and add 6mm.

The biggest challenge if you are flush right now is rubbing the fender with the smaller offset (pushing the wheel out further).

 

what about 1mm more?

v35 runs 19x11.5 +48 offset in this pic which is 3mm further out than 19x11 +45. i'm very tempted to get these wheels but not if they fit "hella flush" style. these meisters look perfect but i cant tell how flush they are from this angle.

 

My rears are +49 and I think it's perfect.

 

Not correct.

Low Offset = wheels further out. If the wheels on the pic are +48 then they are 3mm further in than +45

 

I think you found them not to work because you are thinking the bigger offset moves them out more. It is backwards. A 7 mm spacer moves the tire out more than a 5 mm spacer. That is easy to understand. But with wheels, you are talking offset, and then you need to think backwards. Smaller offset pushes the tire wider, larger offset, pushes the tire inwards.

If you are talking about WB turbo wheels (45 offset) on a NB car, then I believe you are already 6 mm out, and when you added 7 mm spacers, you were then 13 mm out wider. And, you ended up with 5 mm spacers and WB turbo wheels, so 11 mm total wider.

The WB turbo wheels on a NB car do fit. They are 1 mm wider (I think, if my thoughts are correct here) than using the NB turbo wheels (51) with the factory 5 mm spacers.

 

you're not correct. you didnt take wheel width into consideration.

 

wb turbo wheels are +51 offset. nb wheels are +67.

 

Correct, for OEM 11 inch wide rear wheels

Full specs:

NB and WB Front (identical)
8.0 inch wide
19 inch diameter
ET57 offset

WB Rear
11.0 inch wide
19 inch diameter
ET51 offset

NB Rear
11.0 inch wide
19 inch diameter
ET67 offset

 

You are right. I didn't notice it was 11.5. I'm sorry!
