Proper offset on 16x9 rears for Carrera
i'm looking at either swapping my full set of Fuchs or just the rears for a matching set of 16x9s. i've looked through various threads, but i can't find what the proper offset should be on a 9" rear to fit a 3.2 Carrera and fill the wheelwells. are people using the 15mm 16x9, which i believe is the Turbo rear rim? i'm looking at a set of 7s and 9s right now in et23 front and et15 rear - is that the proper fit for a Carrera?
any help is appreciated. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1405533065.jpg |
follow up question; assuming i do swap out the full set (for the set i'm currently looking at), what can i expect a set of 16x7 and 16x8s (in the pic) to sell for - roughly?
|
Don't the 8"s and 9"s look the same from the outside/flushness to fender?

15mm offset is the only option for 16'x9" Factory Fuchs.
The 16"x9" Fuchs are only 8.3mm further outboard than a 16"x8" 10.6 offset Fuchs. |
Couple of comments......
With the minimal amount of performance tires being made a 16x9 will most likely have run a 50 series tire. 245/50....the same I have on my 8s. Why sell the 7s? Keep them and match the 9s in paint or refinish both to match. If you want to fill the wheel consider a spacer. |

I have Potenza RE11s on my 16X9s, 245/45-16...Tire Rack has them

i run 9.5's with Et13 offset on the rear. 15 sounds right for 9's
