What offset wheel to run with V3's and wide body

[jay1989]

I am wondering what wheels/tire size to run with the set up in the title. I plan to lower about 1" but probably now more than that.

The rear body kit adds 2.5" of additional fender width and the front 1.5 more I was thinking of doing 17x10's in the rear and 17x9s in the front but am stuck on the offset to run and tire size to run.

I know I will need a negative offset but don't know how much in the rear.

I am ok with a little negative camber in the rear but don't want to much and in the front would prefer none.

Also will I need or should I get any other suspension parts besides the v3s?

You should answer the question of:

Do you want wheels that fit the car?
Or
Do you want to make the car fit the wheels?

This shit is so easy to figure out. There's loads of info out there regarding this subject, including a thread entirely for rocket bunny cars.

If you don't care to search, just use simple math. If the front fenders are 40mmwoder than stock, take the wheel size and offset used up front on stock fenders with the fitment you want and subtract 40mm. Same goes for rear, but 70mm (or whatever it is).

For example, if you see a car that has the fitment you want front and rear on stock body and is running 17x9 +20 and 17x10 +35, subtract 40 from front and 70 from rear. So you get 17x9 -20 and 17x10 -35 and that would put you fairly close to what you want.

Like I said though, there's a whole thread with peoples' wheel specs for rocket bunny cars on this forum. That should help you figure out what you want

While I would normally agree, OP never mentioned about tire choices (stretch or no stretch) as well as how aggressive of an alignment.

These two things can make/break a wheel choice. I know I'm not spending $3k on wheels to not be a perfect fit.

People want widebody but can't grasp the concept that it's much more than slapping panels on a car. This isn't Gran Turismo or some video game... fundamental questions need to be addressed before going into just adding offset to a wheel.

In the rear of the car I do not mind a little camber (believe that is the right word for the slant you see on some vehicles).

In the front I would like little to none of that so a perfect alignment.

And I understand plain and fine it is not simple as adding body parts, I generally do not do builds on tuners though. Normally my builds go something like "Make sure the wheel/tire combo clear the breaks and suspension and then If the wheel/tire won't fit lift the truck higher" so excuse my question. And while I did see the thread for the rocket bunny there is no clear answer to the question.

There will be a 1" drop. In the rear I do not like the look where the tire looks almost smaller than the wheel (width wide assuming this is what you are talking about when you say stretch). With that said I want it to look like the tire is supposed to fit the wheel.

The wheels/tires need to fit the car with the drop and then body kit. If some modifications needs to made to the car whatever but that would not be the preferred method.

And for the record I have never even played a video game so please do not think I am one of these kids in here spending mommy's and daddy's money trying to replicate something I saw on a video game.
