will a set of enkei fd-05 18" 7.5 wheels fit with a set of rotora 6 pot big brake set up? im not to good with offsets and wheels atall and dont know how to figure this out! ive tryed to find out but i keep getting lost and running into a dead end ive asked the garage i might import them from but my resorses are limited due to being from another country so im really sorry for this but if i caould get some help that would be fantastic

thanks in advance peeps bobby
 
Not to throw you off, but is your dsm a show/weekend car or DD? Because thats gonna be a nasty setup with drive on. Might want to post it in the appearance forum though not too sure.
 
More details or links needed.
Pics of the wheels?
What dimensions are the calipers?
What diameter are the rotors?
What offset are the wheels?
How thick are the spokes and how much material is behind them on the hub mating surface?


hi sorry for the lack on info as i said i can only find basic info on web due to no person to person call (uk and america LOL) very long and expensive heres a list of stats but no info on mitsubishis but i do know they will fit so ive been told buy discount tires i want 18" 7.5

im guessing due to them being drift wheels they should have a good amount of space as they have big brakes andway correct? but i do really need help on the inside and would be a VERY big help. anymore info ill try and get but i thank you for your help

haha not to worry its going to be a show car a full on show car and maybe 1 day i might turn it into a track car as im planning on a new engine rebuild with big 16g turbo and race block, im moving to america in the next few years and i already have a very big project with a new eclipse but no more on that!!!!! so im just getting this 1 out the way and love these wheels and brakes
 
Looking at that wheel it looks as though either of those offsets should work. The spokes look to be almost flush near the outside of the rim. I'd try to use the 45 offset as long as the 6 pot caliper isn't too thick, which it shouldn't be unless it's huge. That will center the tire better to the scrub radius than the 53mm offset.

thanks for your help im guessing the 4pot rear will ok aswell then if the 6pot will fit. greatful for the help wheels and tyres not my specialality as you can tell LOL
 
its got 114.4 and 45gmm do im guessing thats ok
I'm assuming the 114.4 is the bolt pattern spacing and that 45mm is the wheel offset, since you weren't specific. Bolt pattern spacing is pretty self explanatory, distance from center to center on opposing wheel studs. Offset is the measure of how far from the center of the wheel the hub mating surface is. A higher number on the same width wheel means the wheel sticks inboard further, so basically if you use the 45mm offset wheels, the hub and wheel mate together 45mm towards the outside of the wheel from the wheel's center. Some vehicles use a negative offset wheel, with the mating surface inboard of the center of the wheel, -think deep dish.

and theres somethings saing about a center bore? at f 67.00 and r 67.00?
The center of the hub mating surface on most wheels are recessed when looking at them from the backside. This is to fit over the protruding axle nut and the lip on the brake rotor/hub. Thanks to ->PrOjEcTGS<- for this image:

The center bore of the wheel should be 67.1mm in order to correctly be secured to the DSM hub. There are wheel and vehicle combo specific spacing rings that come in different diameters and thicknesses that are inserted into the center bore of the wheel or over the lip on the hub to correct this, most wheel/tire shops include them for free when you purchase a set of wheels.

Whats this 53mm then im lost now?
That 53 is the other offset that's available, it's listed on the wheel info page you linked to.

So, are you getting 13" or 14" rotors? The pic says it's not necessarily for your vehicle...

Anyways, you might want to send a PM to Todd at TCE. He can definitely help you more than I can with figuring out what fits.

Here's a page from his site that you might find helpful.
 
im going for the 13" 2 piece kit and i know i couldnt find the diamensions of the calipers for the eclipse but they say i have to have 17" rims or bigger? im still lost on the wheels LOL but ill keep reading through it and hopefully ill figure it out!
