Wheel specs for Rocket Bunny Fenders
 
Anyone know what wheel sizing for 18's would fit the rocket bunny fenders and clear BBK? Any help would be appreciated :wub:

NemeGuero 10-22-2012 06:42 PM
10.5 +22

Just go with Forgestars! They'll custom make the offset to exactly your specs, or if you want them to do the work and choose the right offsets, you can do that as well, that's not a problem, but with these new Super Deep Concave Forgestars, you'll want to get a set of 10"s on the back to really show off some concave wheels:

kei runs 10.5 -20 bbs'.
dont know if its a square setup or not though.

staycrushing 10-27-2012 11:01 PM
right now my set up is as follows:

19x9.5 -7 with a 235/35/19
19x10 -19 with a 245/35/19 tire and a 25mm spacer
effective -44 offset

i am having issues with clearance of the actual radius of the fender in the front..

working on solving issue post sema.

interesting, you think you'll have to trim more in that front area to free up the lock to lock?

based on what it looks like here..

Would anyone know the 'perfect' (relative) size for a 17" staggered setup on the rocket bunny kit? Thanks in advance.

FRankenStein 04-14-2013 10:55 AM
Would these work? 18x9.5 +2 /18x11 -5

alien 10-12-2013 03:43 AM
so any news? cause im having the same issue right now with forgestar f14s 19x9.5 front

moomoopanda 10-22-2013 01:56 PM
Reggie has staggered Meister's on his Rocket Bunny kit.

18x9.5 -25 in the front, and 18x10.5 -40 in the rear. 245/35's all around.

Maverick22 11-18-2013 05:48 AM
So I just wanted to remove my old post and give everyone a more accurate size chart for the rocket bunny and wheel specs.
I am not responsible if you mess something up, I am only providing knowledge, not advice. Please PM me any corrections.



Front
Honestly a 9.5 width is the best upfront. You really need an effective offset of either -5 or 0
it all depends on tire size to prevent rubbing. a tire size such as 245 35 18, (with a 35 sidewall will be ok with a -5) however running a 225 40 18 (40 sidewall) will require at least a 0 offset.

My current setup is 18x9.5 with a Effective offset of 0 running a 225 40 18 tire.


Rear
you can run anything from a 9.5-11+ in the rear. The best offset for a 9.5 is a Effective offset -40
the rear is a bit harder to do math on but look at it this way; for every inch more than 9 it ads half an inch from the center (imagining the front)
so a 18x10.5 rear will require a Effective offset will require a -25mm-30mm offset to run a fat tire
a 9.5 requires a -40 offset but you need a slight stretch.


If you cant afford expensive wheels, Effective offsets can be obtained with spacers. For example,

if you have a 18x9.5 +20 and you need a 0 offset, adding a 20mm spacer will zero out the offset giving you an effective offset of zero.
if you have a 18x9.5 +10 and you need a effective offset of -30, you will need a 40mm spacer.

My concern though is that the wheels will be too wide. Would I be safer running a 19x 8.75? +20mm or +35mm

Should I run the 20mm with a 25mm spacer? for a -5mm ofset n the front and a 60mm spacer (which is huge) in the rear fo a -40mm offset??
I am trying to figure this out before I get the kit in the post. Thanks in advance.

I am not very good with offsets especially now that I will have to push the wheel out so far. I don't want much stretch on my tire and do not want to poke much, just o have a clean functional wheel and tire.
From my understanding and I've been doing quite a bit of research about this, is in order for it to look proper(not sunk in) you will need to run a wheel w/ in the rear ranging form 10.5-12 wide w/ offsets between -44 - -22. Up front you will need to run a wheel ranging from 9.5-10.5 wide w/ offsets of -25 - -10. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please. This is just what I've been able to come up w/. Now if are going for a more sunk in look than adjust the offset more to zero. Since you are leaning towards the functional aspect, most RB owners run an 18x10.5 +22 w/ spacers. I know one owner that has the Battleship gray RB runs that size w/ a 15mm spacer in the front and 25mm in the rear.

Also if you need help adjusting for offset w/ the width of the wheel got to: http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel...ulator#Results

This helps quite a bit

Maverick22 11-18-2013 09:56 PM
Well, I pretty much got all of that. I am leaning towards canceling my RB order. It seems like the wheels are going to be scary heavy. I plan to boost the car but dont want to waste my entire budget on this kit that is going to decrease my performance.
Im waiting on the venders reply.

If you go w/ a 2pc or 3pc forged wheel, they won't be super heavy at all

Not necessarily, you can get a Work Meister S1R in specs aggressive enough that u won't need spacers

I dont want to pay the price for work meisters. Wheels get destroyed...... U am not dropping that amount on something that will get eventually replaced,
Although the post above about running a +22 wheel with spacers sounds about right with what I plan to do. I have my eyes on a set of BBS's right now.

Thanks for the help.

can anyone get me exact specs for a RB frs with these wheels?http://mirowheels.com/portfolio/type-398-black/

i would really appreciate if someone could tell me exactly what sizes to get for this

Your best bet for those is going to be the 18x 9.5 +20. Then you are going to need spacers for the front and rear.
The point is to get as close to zro as possible, you might even go into the negative depending on your width, tire and what you are going for. I am waiting on my kit to get here to measure before the wheels so i know what size spacers i might need.

so i kind of changed my mmd to these SSRs an dhtey come i a lot of shapes and sizes, with a RB kit on the frs wha would the specs be a 19? btw is mod bargains a reliable site to order from? thx really appreciate it I'm just learning before i take action lol http://www.modbargains.com/ssr-wheels-gtv-01.htm

mnsayer 02-05-2014 05:20 AM
My Rocket Bunny has arrived but I have not ordered the wheels yet. I will most likely go for these wheels, but I dont know what size spacers they are using. Anyone have a clue?

Low offsets, that's your key, 18" is ideal, look for 11" wide in the back with a very low offset and 9-10" in the front with minimum positive offset (mainly +20 would work but you miiiight need to run spacers).


Modbargains are very reliable from what I've heard.

I'm not sure who you mean but most RB cars run deep dish wheels or concave, meaning that the offsets are low, you either need to find low offset wheels or if you're planning to use spacers, it might look sunk in.

For everybody's info: rear fenders stick out +70mm and fronts stick out +40mm, suppose you have a wheel that is flush with the stock fender and plan on still using it, you need 70mm/3 inch spacers to make it work but who would want to run that wide spacers, dangerous.

That's miura-san's car, he's running Enkei RS05RR's in this page, he usually goes for the BBS mesh wheels, those I know the offsets of however this, I'm not sure but they do have low offsets and what looks like a 25mm spacer in the rear from a pic I've seen in that page.

Yes, but I highly doubt anyone will run anything skinnier than a 9 inch width, therefore they will be able to get away with a 25-40mm spacer.
I have never had issues with a spacer, although I would suggest a name brand versus the cheap ebay ones.
I am still waiting on my kit. I reordered twoish weeks ago.
I noticed there is a knock off kit on amazon for 1500.00 whahhhh! but I wouldnt trust that crap. Atleast not the fenders.

I chose to go with an 18 inch wheel. 9.5 front and rear with spacers. Offset is 30mm so i plan to run a 25mm spacer and some phat a$$ tires.

By these wheels, I assume you mean the Forgestars because I heard they were running a 15mm spacer in the rear.

good luck with the wait for custom offsets on the SSRs.

but for a 19, again you will need the smallest offset possible. Are you going for the flush look (ture stretching involved) or a phat tire? or a flat edge?

True, you need at least 9" wide tires in the back to even pull it off with spacers.

40mm spacers sounds big but who makes them? never seen 40mm spacers.

Seen the knockoffs and they look perfectly similar to me but still, you're right.

What wheel if you may share? I'm still having doubts on the wheels too and my kit is reaching me next weekend.

I since decided to go with a 5x120 wheel 18x9.5 with a 25mm 5x100 to 5x120 spacer. 5x100 wheels suck.

I'm going through the same thing as I'm doing research for my soon-to-be car.
My issue with this isn't the amount of money it's costing me, but rather that the Work Meisters are quite heavy! They're 20-something pounds each!

A buddy of mine has 40mm spacers on his f150. Idk where he got them or what brand they are but they're definitely made.

I am aware that suv's and trucks get up to 3" (70mm), I previously owned a Merc G55 and had 45mm H&R spacers on it but I'm not aware of any brands that have made this size for 5x100 specifically the twins.

You're gonna need a much lower offset than 30 if you gonna go with 9.5.

You can see pics of people rocking 9.5 +30 on stock and there's about 5-10mm poke on stock suspension. Even with the 25mm spacer it'd be about 30-35mm out of stock guards. Just me, but i think it'd look silly with the wheels 30-35mm within the rear Rocket Bunny fenders as they add 65mm to the rears. Front's being 40mm wider, it would work alright but definitely need to reconsider the rears bud.

jhstealth 02-11-2014 01:08 PM
So the largest people have ran is 11in in the rear? The kit seems wider than what it is. My 930 has 11's on the front. Another option for light my rear ccw's are 18x14 and only weigh around 22 lbs. I think it's 18 for an 11.

I ordered my wheels last night with a +20mm offset. WHen i said 35, i meant the spacer size but i decided to un a 25-35~mm in the rear and a 15-25mm in the front
I wont know for sure but will post what the exact sizes are when they show up.
