This video made things so much more clear for me. New to the hobby, and wheel/tire fitments have been a struggle for me to comprehend until now😂 so even tho this video isn’t new, thank you soooo much fr

[logandeeter]

I have a z31. I went on a forum for some recommendations on wheel size and the last post was from 2007 so here I am

[rolandsanchez]

This is exactly what I was needing to know and understand lately praise be FI 🙌

This video described things that many other videos don't. Thanks! To go further, what we need is a calculator that lets us put in the section width of the new tire. It is misleading using only the tread size!

My question is once you find out your offset than what is the calculation to figure out the minimum and maximum offset allowed?

[marcelcovaci]

The factory offset is 35 I believe. Maybe the best thing is to just leave the car stock or maybe get wheels from the sport trim of your car model. Most stock wheels are much better than aftermarket unless you go with a super expensive alternative

What about when you turn the front wheel such that the front or rear of it is outside the fender and you encounter a bump that pushes the suspension up? Aren't you going to have clearance issues then because of the overlap of fender and tire?

[mrxklusiv]

How do you know how far to jack up the suspension to get to ride height??

[loganradcliffe]

will a 18x9.5 35 Aodhan DSO8 fit correctly on a 2017 brz. also was wanting to get a stage 1 type stretch just not sure what tire size to get for my first set of "nice" wheels.

Won't changing the factory offset affect ABS brakes?

[Scarbuckks]

Damn I was really hoping this would be like a Hoonigan Project Cars channel :( I wanna see more work you guys do!

[TheJoSefn]

I have abc suspension. Can I just lift my arm like that too or do I need to make some sort of prepairing to do it?

[jamesbrown]

I hope you exchanged those Harbor Freight Jack Stands when they recalled them.

[callum]

Fab video, will certainly link this when trying to explain offset to people! Would be interesting to know your rear specs on the E55 too!

[jamesbrown]

That is a little to close for my comfort. I hope you're on some stiff air-springs or coil-overs. Not sure if you track the car or not. The body roll that Benz would experience especially if you take corners like an AMG is capable of doing you're gonna be rubbing the fenders. I'm sure you're aware of that though. Just something I noticed. From one Euro owner to another.

[karimchehade]

What if you have you car on shocks? Does the measurements change?

[tkschrome]

I’m just not able to wrap my head around this. It’s very discouraging having a car that is currently rubbing everywhere and I don’t know how to fix it.

[wickEdTF]

is it a feasible option to measure the size and offset of a wheel when it's mounted the tires?

[dEmil]

Oh wow, I thought choosing wheels is as simple as going to the store telling your tire size and they will give you the wheels that fit.
