Wheel Offset Question for the Reno

CHNDROSE · Post by **CHNDROSE** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 3:06 pm

Hello everyone!

For Xmas I am getting a new set of tires (original ones are worn out after only 32,000 miles) and possibly a set of wheels.

Over at the Tire Rack I found something I like with the right bolt pattern but the offset is +48mm (15x6.5) and another I like is +47mm (15x6).

Will either one of those fit okay?

Thanks in advance.

I dont know..but that offset seems high for that size. But I still dont perfectly understand how that works.

btw..if the stock wheels are 6.5" wide i wouldnt do 6" wide. I think they are 6" wide stock but make sure.. you dont want to downgrade.

That seems really high. I dont beleive it would either fit or if it did you probably wouldnt like it. It would be very sucked in far into the fender well.

Thanks for the link and the feedback.

I believe the stock wheels have a +45mm offset to start with, but I could be wrong with that.

Checking out wheelmax right now....

I think thats wrong. I know for a 18x7.5 wheel you need a at the most +40..no more. So i cant imagine the stock 15s being very clsoe to that number

Don't know about Reno, but on a Lanos stock offset is 49mm and the wheels are 14x5.5

My nubi have 17x7.5 some times rub if the street is in bad condition, So Im pretty sure that you can use them.

Unfortunately it became a mute point. My computer system at home, after applying the latest M$ patches, died. So I am going to throw in a DVD burner and load either the latest SUSE or Fedora linux. Probably go with Fedora since one of my best friends used to work for RedHat. Or I believe a local outfit is offering 12 months of 0% financing for laptops.

Either way, that would only leave me enough $$$ for a crappy set of wheels so I am going to wait for my b'day to roll around.

Rather have something I really, really like than settling for whatever happens to be the right price. Everytime I have been ready to add something to the car, something has happened to wipe out my cash. If I were of the religious or superstitious sort, I might say it was a sign. LOL

Thanks to all who replied. I found a local shop that offered a great price on 50,000 mile Kumhos in 195/55/R15 ($55 ea) and they can order some sweet looking wheels.
