ND wheel offset

[pcmx5]

Someone has probably already answered this but i cannot find it.What is the standard offset for the ND?

Asking because in my thinking I always buy the wheels first and then build the car around them!!! Have a chance to buy some very special 4x100 ,17x7 wheels with 35 offset and hoping with a 10ml spacer they may fit an ND, which I am sure I will end up with even if it is a few years and a lower diff ratio down the track.

Thanks,

Peter

... 4x100 ,17x7 wheels with 35 offset and hoping with a 10ml spacer they may fit an ND, ....

You will need a -20mm thick spacer, based on the above information. If only someone could invent that!

BTW, the abbreviation ml means milli-litres not milli-metres, which is mm.

Wrong!

All three wheels, 16", 17" & 17" BBS have a 45mm offset.

If the rims you are looking at are 7" wide then they should be ok using no spacer.

I did wonder about that after finding some info on the BBS Rims being 45.

Thanks everyone,I might just buy one set for my shed which seems to be empty without at least a couple of sets of MX wheels!! I had 28 at one stage a few years ago,but took tablets for the addiction!

By the way you can get a 25 mm spacer,not that i need it.

Project ND may have taken its first step.
