Collectindust240Z Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hey all. I tried to search this but found nothing. Sport Max (Primax) makes a really nice clean 5 spoke wheel with a staggered fitment. I'm pretty much clueless about offset or backspacing....so can anyone help me? They are available in 17x7 with a 40 offset and 17x9 with a 35 offset. I'm planning on getting a set of ZG flares and coilovers if I have to. Any thoughts?

Are you sure they only offer those offsets? Something close to 0 is best. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8ZXTPI Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 May I suggest calling them to make sure they have them in stock. I tried to order a set of wheels (962's, I think) and they advised me the wheel is out of stock "until further notice". Didn't want to wait "until further notice" so looked else where. Good luck!

Guest Battle Pope Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I have a set on my Q45 in 17x7 and 17x9. They said they were 38 offset front and 35 offset rear. I'm pretty happy with them, nice wheels. I got them off ebay from here for a pretty good price. I don't think this guy carries staggered fitment anymore but he carries full sets of 17x9 which could work if you get different tire sizes. 255/40 and 225/40 for instance.

JMortensen Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Why not just run the same tires front and back??? I don't get this skinny up front and wide in the back thing... not like we're driving Porsches with 65% of the weight in back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Battle Pope Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 either/or. I was just illustrating my point with a recommendation of alternating tire sizes instead of wheel sizes if he's really looking for a staggered look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
