Z_Dust Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 When using wheel spacers like the ones sold at Modern motorsports on a wheel with, say a 40mm offset. Does that mean that the spacer will compensate for the offset in such a way that the wheel will fit as if it was one with 0 offset? In essence positioning the center of the wheel in relation to offset in such a way that it aligns with the hub. If so, could it be possible then to measure the space available inside the wheel well and then try to find something that will fit in that space. Sorry if I'm not being too clear. I don't quite master the wheel lingo that well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest greimann Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 The spacers, or more accurately adapters, do what you describe. They compensate for the high positive offset of Honda spec wheels to maintain the wheel centerline as Datsun intended. They also change the bolt pattern to 4x100mm. I am a little foggy on the second part of the question. If you mean find a wheel that fits without adapters, then there are several recent threads in this forum that discuss this, but the selection is pretty much limited to Panasport or Centerline. Get the adapters and select from hundreds of Honda Civic wheels with +40mm offset and 4x100mm bolt pattern . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
