Wheel offset

Hello, I have a 2002 Honda Odssey and the plans is to put 20" shoes on it. I plan on doin a coilover set, because air ride wouldn't be practical for me on this build. My question is,1)will 20x8.5"(front) & 20x10"(rear) work on this van & 2) what offset would I need for the proper VIP look. HELP!!! student of VIP scene:saiyancrunks:

Seriously..why are you asking this? There's no magical numbers. You need to start thinking about what look you want, then you think about how to achieve it..or do like many of us and MAKE it work/fit. To many of us, it's a cop-out to just use what ____ is using on theirs.

Do you get where I'm coming from?

Bolt a large sheet of piece of manila paper to your hub. Measure the distance from the paper to your nearest inner interference, and measure from the paper to where you want it to sit at the fender.

Boom, done.

OK..Thanks for the comment, but to answer your question, I asked about wheel offsets and etc because IM NOT A WHEEL EXPERT. I also am a firm believer that there is no dumb questions,just ones your to scared to ask. So..I know the look I want and I know there are some type of measurements,camber,caster,etc to achieve that,but I do know where your comin from.

I would do 20x9 all around. The front offset has to be around positive 5-20 and the rear offset negative 15-30. That way you can use a 215/35/20 tire all around.

Why the hell would he go through the trouble of doing all the research 'just like everybody else'? Isn't this a place to share information and experience so the next guy doesn't have to do all the work all over again?

This answered his question. Why was it so hard for the rest of you to either post this answer or not post at all?

becuase i dont agree with SPOON FEEDING.


why is it so hard? Because people dont take the time to learn the things the NEED to learn to build cars. If you tell him an offset and a size, and he goes and buys it, and it doesnt fit how HE wants it to, he will not be happy with it. This is a place to encourage people to learn on their own and THEN when they reach a rock, to help them. Not to just spit out numbers

simpl didn't spoon feed him. He gave a him a range to at least start with and its up the OP to figure it out from there.
Would that be too much to ask?

its all so personal to your taste, your country, if you daily the car, what you think about tyre costs, how much tyres cost you, what you think about this that and the other.

you rarely nail fitment in 1 set of wheels. just need to accept that, get it as good as you can and figure that no doubt you will probalby want to step it up next set..
