Anyone know the offset on these??

[Dylan_M]

Pick up these Enkei Ek26 from a guy in cali about a month or so ago. Restored them and got them lookin brand new. But have no idea the offset on these, neither did the guy I bought them from. All I know is 15x8 rebarreled 3inch lip. Anyone know where I can figure out the offset for these wheels??

you can just measure those bishes..

measure width from edge to edge (gives you true width not just bead width) & divide by two (centreline)
lay face down, lay flat edge across rim back, measure from hub mount up to this flat edge (backspace)
subtract centreline from backspace

[CandySucker]

wow those look realllly low... If I had to take a guess 0 to -10...?

keep us posted

[Dylan_M]

Edge to edge is 8.5. That divided is 4.25, backspace is 3.5. So backspace minus centerline would be .75. Did i do that right?

[MrNiceGuy]

Yup, just convert everything to millimeters now. I'm getting around -15 in my head with rough math.

[Dylan_M]

convert the 4.25 and the 3.5 to mm. and also convert the .75?

Sorry dude, i am in Australia so we mostly measure in metric / millimetres anyway so i didn't mention that.

1" = 25.4mm

Also you did the subtracting the wrong way around. I may have even typed it wrong yesterday :P

For those wheels you do: 88.9mm (3.5" backspace) minus 107.95mm (4.25" centreline) = -19mm (-0.75").

So those wheels are 15 x 8" -19 (yup that's negative 19 offset!)

Hey no worries man! Ya i thought i was doing the subtracting wrong cause i keep getting +19. So yeah. But DAMN! Negative 19 will be a fun challenge fitting on my car lol Thanks for your help again Ant!
