O.K. Nooby question: I have never understood what offset was. What the frick exactly is offset? Im staring at the car, and its wheels look fine. But then again, I dont know what offset is. PLZ HELP!!!

[driftersil80]

bumpppppp!!!!!!!!

[funkymonkey]

simplest and least technical way of explaining offset is "the distance from the centre of the width of the rim that the mounting point is"... sorta... its a little more technical than that though.

The kit's a BN Sports kit. The screen probably isn't used for an HKS camp system going by the fact that he's got quite a few analogue gauges on his dash (don't really need to double up unless youre a gauge-o-holic).

I dunno, the car's too clean for it to be a serious drifter... lovin the J's headlights n the BN Sports kit tho. Actually... he's got flared guards as well... (with rims which will have the right offset on a standard silvia, hence why they look wrong in these pics) maybe he just finished fitting it on and painting it?

the lcd is for a ps2..just asked him..he didnt personally build the car..but had blue eye candy do it for him..i think his sister said it was around 10,000 usd total

About the offset: OK....so how can u tell that these rims have bad offset???

[funkymonkey]

some particularly annoying people tend to think that the correct offset for a rim is ONLY one that makes the rim sit flush with the guards.

Usually you choose an offset that allows you to fit a rim without rubbing against the inner guard, hitting any suspension parts and making the rims stick out too far outside the guard.

Annoying? You know what I find annoying? BAD OFFSET. Look at the rear wheels and there relation to the body. Looks gross. Should sit FLUSH.

Here is what I would call perfect offset.

besides the offset...nice car. haha I made this awhile ago for reasons like this!
