Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    These 1st Generation 16x7 Rays Rims, and a question about offset..?




    "$500 firm for them with tires, no curb rash there mint rims tires are YOKOHAMA AVS ES100's 205/55/16 F 225/50/16 R and the rims are RAY'S ENGINEERING 16X7 RIMS (not sure about the offset but u can come by and look at them) selling cuz i got my new rims, also has rays vale stems and matching caps, will throw in an hks catch can to! could use 2 new tires because of camber ware other then that u can still drive them on the road!"



    :::::::::::::: QUESTION ::::::::::::::
    First of all, what do you guys think of the rims?
    I dont know much about offset but if it doesn't fit the car due to weird offset, is it easily adjustable ?

    Thanks - Sorry for the repeat of thread, wanted to be more specific.

    First, measure the backspacing.

    Then refer to this chart for a rough estimate on offset:

        Measure the backspacing.

        Then match the backspacing with the 7" wide row.

            Put a book, piece of wood, or anything else that will lay flat along the back side of the wheel.

            Measure from where the wheel studs go into the wheel to the piece of wood, book, etc.

                  So...
                  Backspacing is the distance from the inside rim edge to the mounting surface/flange of the rim.
                  Offset is the distance from the center of the rim to the mounting surface?

                    Correct.

                    Measuring that is a little more complicated.





                    To calculate offset you'll need the following measurements:

                    Wheel backspace
                    Wheel Width
                    Wheel Center line (outboard flange to inboard flange measurement / 2)

                    Subtract:

                    Wheel center line from Wheel backspace to get offset. If backspace is less than the wheel centerline the offset is negative
                    If backspace is greater than the wheel centerline the offset is positive


                    Tip:

                    To convert from inches to mm multiply by 25.4
                    To convert from mm to inches divide by 25.4
