What is the wheel offset and best width for 24.5inch slicks.

[turbovanman²]

Well, I can get brand new MT 24.5/8.0-15's for $385 canadian, taxes in, sooooooooooo what offset rim and best width do I need to start looking for. I know the bolt pattern is 5x100. This will make looking for rims in the paper and wreckers alot easier.

If you are looking for rims in the JY etc, there are not too many cars out there with a bolt pattern and back spacing close enough to use for our cars are there?

The only ones in a 15 that I am aware of would be the Fiero.

I tried the 24.5" MT's on a set of Fiero mags(15"x7" black mesh), I had to hammer in the bottom plate of the strut(L-body) so they wouldn't touch. I don't think there is a 15"x7"+, 5x100 wheel out there that will work. Ken Adler had a set of steelies with not much of an offset if any, can't recall if they were special order or what?

Dang, I did not know that the fiero wheels were 7" wide. I might have to give some of those a go.

more room in a mini though?

[turbovanman²]

The tires I am running now are 25.7 inches in diameter, the slicks are 24.5, so lots of room there. So I guess I will see if anyone has Fiero mags. BTW, front or rear as I know they have different offsets on that car?

I've got the Fiero rims on the front of my Daytona (with 22" tires, though). No clearance issues...

i am running 24.5 on fiero wheels with 1/4 spacers on a L body there work great

[GLHSKEN]

The wheels I had made were 10 holer steelies with 4 1/4" backspacing. 4 1/2 to 4 5/8" is all that is needed. Our stock backspacing is 5". The wheeles were 15 x 8"

Hahaha, which ones, the front or rears?

Thanks Ken, I might have to go that route, I am soooooo running out of money. Unsure what having them moddified costs though?

They're 15 x 7. Are the front/rear Fiero rims different?

From what I remember, they have different offsets. If you look at the rear rim, the lip is larger before the mesh, the fronts are almost flush.

The factory lace wheels on my Beretta are 15 X7, and I think all of the body colored Beretta GT wheels are 7 inches wide. With the exception of the gray lace wheels which are 6 inches wide.
I have a set of the white 15X7 Beretta GT wheels that I will probably use on the Lebaron if I ever chose to run slicks.

bender has the the rears on his car and i have the fronts on my car they are off the same car so they must be the same offset

[turbovanman²]

I found out the front is a 15x6 and the rear is a 15x7.

Thanks for figuring that out. I think that the black lace wheels would look nice on my omni, and there is nothing like an inexpensice 15x7 wheel.
