Thread: Deep Dish

I have a 98 Sentra E lowered with an Sr20 swap with 95-98 SER rims but I want to go with the deep dish Euro look. I am trying to figure out a decent offset without sacrificing rubbing or any other suspension problems. There is one NX2000 that I saw on here with some nice deep dish rims but the cost of those rims are way too expensive for me ($1500). I have been looking at Diamond Racing Wheels where you can give them your specs and they could custom make the rims for you (Pro Series-$89.95). Oh, plus I want to go with steelies which is sort of old school. My biggest concern is the offset. Any ideas????? I saw a nice VW with some custom made steelies on Speedhunters that sparked my interest.

hmmm the lowest(or highest) Offset I've seen and own have been 45+ on a Sentra B13, now I'm not sure about a B14 though. I have a 45+ plus offest and the only way I can run that is needing a 1/4" spacer in the rears. With the spacer my tire is sooooo close strut but doesn't rub. Also can't run a tire any bigger a 205/46/16 because of rubbing issues.

Mmmmm Pizza.

So anyway, lowest offset I would attempt without killing your already poorly designed suspension, would be a +15 ET. A 0 ET would stick out from your fender well a good inch, and you'd need hardcore camber adjustment for the front. Rear may or may not be a problem with a solid rear beam suspension.

IMO et15 in the rear should not be a problem. In the front I would not go any lower than et30. It all depends on the width on the wheel of course
