A question about Fikse wheels,owners please.
 
When you guys got your wheels made how did you come up with the offset on the rears?Ive been in touch with the company and was told these are custom made so pretty much any offset is possible more or less.My car needs a set of wheels and these look the best.The best look to me would be with the face of the wheel almost flush,same depth for front,rear with the deep lug area for the rear wheel.Tire availability would dictate the wheel diameter,maybe 19s?

what width do you want to run . ive seen some 19s on c4s and they just look like all wheel to me ,18 do look very nice . you can run up to 12 in wide in the rear, but i would ck out available tire sizes and costs before deciding width .the offset is easy to figure once you have decided what tire you want to run

If I can get a 335-30-18 than thats what it will be on a 12 inch width in the rear if I can get the extra inch on the inside.Cost isn't the factor here,tire size will dictate what I go with.

Jeff,

A tool that I've used with good results is:

I'd also recommend a quick review of other wheel specs.

Enjoy.

If tire size is driving your purchase, buy wheels that fit Michelin tires. Michelin is still making 335/35-17s for the Viper and you know that can't be a large market.

You could try 18/19 with F1 Supercar G:2, but look at the prices :thumbsdo:

I've wondered what 19 inch FM5s would look like on a ZR-1, go for it.

I have Fikse 18 x 10 on the front & 18 x 12 on the rear. No problem with the extra width to the inside. I think you could even go another inch wider to the inside, but there aren't any tires, so no purpose.

I agree and these will clear big brakes.
