With V out of town is sure is quiet around here

 

I was just thinking the same its just you and me really slacken off at work

 

Well for me it isn't *really* slackin, its my job to play on teh forumz

 

Lol true you can call it your public relations/advertisement time me i have no excuse im purely slacken lol. Just trying to breeze through the rest of this year at work!

 

 

Before anyone tries to fire flame me I looked... I am trying to find a thread about how much positive and negative offset are ok for our cars.... Does anyone know if there is a topic about this?

I just learned what offset was by watching a youtube video...

my current setup has +35 offset is that good or bad?

 

Well, I'll try to keep this basic/short. Offset alone means nothing, where the outside edge of the wheel is in relation to the hub is dependent on width and offset combined. That offset # tells you how far the hub mounting surface is from center of the wheel(+ is closer to the outside, 0 is the center and - is on the inside of center). So basically you can be running a 0 offset on a 8" wheel and it will be tucked in 10mm more than a conservative +22 offset on a 10.5" wheel (which is the conservative standard for the rear of our platform). You can use tools like 1010tires Offset Calc so calculate how different width/offset combos will look in relation to another.

But basically, with a +35 offset, unless your running a 11.5" rear, that's pretty weak (even by conservative standards. And you should look into spacers, size depending what width your running.

Edit:I guess i should've mentioned offset is measured in mm, so +35 offset means the hub surface is 35mm on the outward side from the center of the wheel.

Edit2:And with wheel width constant the lower the offset number (can even be negative) the further the outside of the wheel will move away from the center of the car. So the lower the number the more flush (or poke).

 

anyone knows anyone who knows anyone that wants to buy a brand new 350z gt spec front strut bar?

 

Maybe Rob can Elaborate on this cause i have no clue (EDIT) NVM i saw Robs responce after i replied lol

 

My wheels are: front 19inch 8x5, rear 19inch 9x5. I think for spacers from visually looking I might only need 15mm.

 

Well I should've mentioned that how much offset you can handle is also dependent on ride height, as you lower the car the more *sunk* the wheels will become because of independent rear suspension and increased camber. By average standards, that setup on a G with a mild drop would need 20-25mm spacers (25 might need rolled fenders). Stock ride height 15 probably would be close, but I would go with 20mm's.

 

GLWS I know thats a pretty desirable bar in the VQHR community, I believe it is the only aftermarket bar that works with the HR.

 

Want.....to.....flame......Lenox.....must......res ist...........

 

 

thanks, i made a complete noob move and ordered the Z strut bar thinking they were the same
