anyone have Work Emotion XT7s?

I'm looking at getting some and wanted to know what offset would be best for the car? I don't want to order wheels and need 20mm spacers or have the wheels sticking out too far.

I think 17s would look best, but 18s might look good too, time for some photoshop-age

You are going to need spacers in the rear, no way around it. The rear is sunk 15mm in compared to the front. So if you want perfect flushness all around, then you need 10-15mm spacers for the rear....

As far as offset, depends on the width.

8 inch wheel, 25-30mm

8.5, 30-35mm

9, 35-40mm

Go with 17s IMO, wish I had...

I'm doing an 8 inch wide wheel, and couldn't I just get a lower offset in the rear instead of having to deal with spacers?

and thank you

If you're doing 8" all around, I think 30mm offset would a great choice for the front and about 15-20mm for the back. You would need to roll your fenders though. Not exactly flushiness, but won't be sunken in.

I'm a newb as far as wheels go, how hard would rolling the fenders be? and what all would that entail, that doesn't make the fender wells bigger, right?

15mm on an 8" wheel in back!!!!????

Are you planning on running normal tire sizes, or stretch them? 15mm on an 8" wide rim is really pushing it, you'd have to roll the hell out of the fenders. I just put on G35 Coupe wheels (30MM offset, 8" width) right now they have very worn out 245 tires, I'm rubbing like there is no tomorrow, its so bad I thought my wheel came loose for a second.

I guess it depends on your drop, but 15-20MM offset is Z/G offsets unless you're stretching tires or you roll fenders that's pushing it IMO. If you go 30MM up front, I'd say at most 25MM out back, run a 235/40/18 (if you go 18s), shouldn't rub and shouldn't have to roll fenders, maybe a little bit in the rear.

I'll probably be running a 235 tire on 17s, and those offsets seem a bit low for a FWD car, I don't need that much dish

just get an equal offset on all 4 wheels and put a spacer in the back so you can still rotate your tires if you want to.

If you are set on an 8, do +30 all around and throw a 10mm spacer on the back.

I'd go with the +30 if your going with 8s. Should fit with out any issue and look nice. If you want it more flush in the rear add a spacer 5-10mm range.

RWD offsets work very well on the Maxima, Z32 setups work very well.
staggered Z32 setup 17x8.5 +40 255/40 front 17x9.5 +38 275/40 rear



My 10" track is too agressive for most.



My normal setup 17x9 +34 255/40s
