Default What's the actual offset on Tiburons???

Everyone has a different answer when I ask
the offset for Tiburons.
I posted a similar topic, and some people
says it's 38, some say 40...
What's the actual bolt pattern and
offset for 2000 Tiburons.
Someone please let me know...
Thank you.

It should be 114.3x4 for the bolt pattern.

The ofset should be a +42.

Remember the offset is based on wheel width, so if you go to a wider wheel, the offset should change.

Tiburon423...Are you looking for the offset for the Stock Rims on a Tiburon because it depends on what you're rolling on. Random's numbers are (ofcourse) right for the stock rollers. I have 17x7.5" rims with a +40 offset. Probably not right, but close enough to not cause any problems. RANDOM how do my numbers sound?

ok, what about 18 x 7.5's? with 215/35R18 tires?
What would be the offset on these for the Tib?

And also, will these rub if the car is NOT lowered?

40 off set would be fine for a 6.5" wheel, but not for a 9" wheel. What wheels are you getting? What size?

I would try for a +45 offset, but no smaller than +35. Keep in mind...ofset is measured in millimeters here. +35 and +45 only has 10 millimeters(1 centameter) of difference! We are talking the width of your pinkie fingernail here!
