I get that, my question was whether or not I was correct in thinking that I needed 4" lips and 5" lips to go from 7.5" et 30 to 9" et 12 and 10" et 0

if you get that you should be able to figure that shit out easily with math that is doable without the use of a fucking calculator for a functioning human being

You guys thought I was asking about ET this whole time?
lol

I wanted to make sure that 16x7.5 et 30 ment that the barrel was 5" and the lip was 2.5"
I already knew what the final ET was going to be, I just wanted to make sure about the current barrel and lip size.

you can't tell lip/barrel sizes by offset. backpad factors in as well.

weird, am i the only one who slaps on a modular wheel and just measures how much more lip and barrel i want without caring about offset specs?

indeed. especially since not all RSs are the same. even within 16" RSs some of the faces are totally different diameter

If I had faces, thats exactly what I would do.

wait, i read that wrong.

its kinda like bench racing lol. bench wheel building

isnt that what he has?

No, I mean if it were me, I'd just think ok I want these size lips, and as wide as possible.

"Hope it fits!"
*Le parts arrive*
*Assemble le wheel*
*Le test fit*
"I am a god amongst men, this fitment is nuts."

you forgot the step where you go find a car that is already running those specs and copy the shit out of it

actually, you started by asking if barrel size effects offset. thats where the confusion spiraled out of control

[Dudermagee]

My dilemma is that I already talked to MemoryFab and they said If I needed anything wider than 3" lips then it would be 4 months or so (which really means like 6 months). And the fact that 4"+ lips are fucking expensive.

and thats how the internet ruined car building for people who do their own thinking, researching and measuring.

ah, yea, the faces are different like you said. some are low disk others high.
