ano ba yung offset? di ko talaga alam...

[superbok]

ano ba yung tinatawag nilang offset. nagpalit ako ng wheels tapos sumasayad na sa wheel well... sabi baka mali daw yung offset.. adjust ko raw. eh ano ba yon? di ko alam kung ano ibig sabihin... hmm... :?:

[e46boi]

The offset of a wheel is the distance from your hub mount point (the point which the wheel attaches to the car) to the exact centerline of your wheel (when viewing the cross section of the wheel).

Offset cannot be adjusted, as this is intrinsic to the wheel itself. You either need to get different wheels with the correct offset for your car, or you will need to roll your fenders to accomodate your (I assume wider) wheels.

Beware that if the offset of the wheel is not correct for your car, the handling can be adversely affected.

Good luck!

e46boi... i actually have an ESi. i changed my stock wheels to 195/55/15. is this not the right wheels for my car?

supierreman... thanks for the link. 8)

Ok lang yung 195/55-15 . What brand of rims did you get? usually local 15 roms naman tama lang yung offset for the ESi civics. ( i think 40 or 38 offset ng mga rota 15's)

As for the tire size you mentioned... that is the correct plus size diameter for the civic.

superbok,

yung offset is based on your rims/mags. Esi kotse mo, you should get a rim with an offset of 40, 42 or higher. the higher the offset is, mas pasok ang mags at gulong mo sa loob ng fender. okay yung gulong mo... mags lang problema jan. wag mo titiklupin yung fender mo, kakalawangin yan... sayang.

HTH!

Anything outside 4mm out of the OE off-set of your car will f**k up handling and will give the wheel bearings a shorter service life.

[e46boi]

Supierreman is correct, the tire size of 195/55/15 sounds fine for a 15x6.5 or a 15x7 wheel.

You should be safe with a 38 or a 40 offset, majority of the 15" wheels out there have this offset.

Anything higher than 40 on a 15" wheel, you risk having your wheel being "too wide"; you might potentially rub againt the fender for having "too wide" wheels.

Quick note: Rolling your fender is safe, provided you do it with the correct tools. But it would be better to just get wheels with the correct offset to fix your problem.

Good luck!

Sori tlga ha... I don't understand your jargons. Kakahiya!:lol: But what do you mean 38, 40, 42? What is this a measure of.. how is it done?

BTW, I think I didn't say na lowered ako. Sori. Lowered yung car ko by 1.75.

e46 / supierreman... Thanks for the help ha. I hope to hear that I still have the correct tire size.:wink:

goose... I don't think I'd like to roll up my fender. Mahirap na kung sa body yung gagalawin? I'd rather change my tires, or maybe bring back my car to its original height.:wink:

rs... Thanks for the info!

palit ka na lang ng rims with the right offset. That's what I did :mrgreen: before my rims were way too wide.. nakalabas talaga sa sides ...maputik tuloy yung doors ko abot hanggang side mirrors :mrgreen: ..hindi pa lowered yun.

I got the mugen RnR copies...sakto sa width, no problems now with the dirty sides. Next project ko a suitable drop 8)

Hey superbok,

38, 40 or 42 is the measurement in millimeters from the hub to the centerline of the wheel.

In simplest terms, to answer your question:

1. Your tires (meaning your rubbers, whether they be Dunlop, Bridgestone or Continental) are fine. You said they are 195/50/15. This sounds like the correct size. You do not have any problems with them.

2. Your wheels (meaning your mags/alloys) are not fine. You need to get rims/wheels with the correct offset if you want to avoid rubbing, especially with a lowered car. To be safe, stay with a wheel offset of 38 or 40.

(You might be confusing the term "tires" with "wheels". These are different. Just wanted to make sure you understand)

Hope this clears things up!

i think pareho tayo prob?
i also changed my set of wheels
TE37 ang mags tapos 205/50/15 ang likod ko.
pag nagsakay ako ng 3 tao sa likod tpos nadaan ako sa tulay or sa kalsada na may dugtong from ispalto to semento dumidikit ang goma sa tapalodo.
ang sama ng tunog, umiiyak ang gulong, tapos yung side wall nga ng goma ko may ukit na e. sayang 3months pa lang sira agad.

get your fenders rolled..yan na lang ang paaraan. or palit ka ng mags.

sakin nangyari din yan..stock shocks, bumili ako ng mags (nung time na yun di ko rin alam yung offset). naging problema ko, nung nagpalit na ako ng shocks..ayaw na pumasok yung mags (nakatukod sa shocks yung mags, sobrang pasok..mali ang offset)..so, nagkabit ako ng 5mm spacer..(di na sumasayad sa shocks yung gulong)..sumasayad naman sa fender..

pina-rolled ko un fender..yun, wala ng problema..yung harap ko naka"tuck-in".

(problema sakin, sa abroad ko nabili yung shocks & mags ko) kaya hindi ko nasukat sa oto ko mismo..kaya, next time kung bibili kayo ng mags..dalhin yung oto, para dun mismo masukat kung kakasya/sumasayad..minsan sa goma(tire brand) din may deperensya
