BEEMDUB Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 So I've had these wheels on for a while now (velocity vw910b with 245/30/22 tires) and I'm tired of the setup already for two reasons, the first one being the biggest reason. First of all I hate how it looks from any other angle than the side because the wheels (especially the rear ones) don't stick out at all, from behind you can't even tell theres rims on the car lol... I guess I just don't get it because the wheels are 22 X 9.5 I don't know the offset how do I figure that out? But the dude at discount tire originally put 265's on and the front he said they rubbed on the control arm bad. Now not only did I not want 245's but I wanted 35 series which also apparently didn't fit..I've seen plenty of guys with chargers on the internet and there stance looks great and they have 265/35's.. this is how I'd like my stance to look or close to it at least.And I don't really like the idea about using spacer Better yet heres a thread with the exact rims I have on the exact model car I have and look how his car looks. Heres some pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HunterJohnson Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 you have the wrong offset wheel. Yes. You need a LOWER offset. or you add spacers to adjust the wheels you have now.

xx1 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 you have the wrong offset wheel. I agree with n8... either you get wheels with the right offset or spacers. I used spacers for a while in a truck and they weren't bad at all, but a lot of people seem not to like them. audio related merchandise (decals,banners,lanyards,hats,shirt,etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEEMDUB Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 you have the wrong offset wheel. you have the wrong offset wheel. hmm so what would you suggest? Yes. You need a LOWER offset. or you add spacers to adjust the wheels you have now. I'm leary of spacers because I've heard they can cause stress and possibly break wheel studs, but I have been tempted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used spacers for a while in a truck and they weren't bad at all, but a lot of people seem not to like them. yea I'm thinking I might try spacers for a while possibly, and what size spacers would you guys suggest? Also would I be able to run wider and taller tires with spacers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 do some research on charger forums to find out what offset you need. You can counteract the spacers by seeing if you can fit a longer studd.

TRTC360 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I don't see the problem with using spacers on a daily driven car as long as the studs are long enough, i'd rather pay 40 dollars for a set of spacers than have to buy a whole new set of rims.

bassface Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I used spacers/ wheel adapters before and never had an issue, had chevy tru spokes on a honda in like 89. The one i used bolted onto the existing wheels studs, then had new studs mounted in the wheel adapter so they were strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
