Chim 18" Spider offsets

[BuzzBillsberry]

Can someone please advise what the wheel offset is for the 18" spiders for the Chim conversion ...is it 44 all round?

No, I don't know the offset but I do know front and rear are different. They are the same as the Tuscan, T350 & Tamora

Just a little info, though not re spiders.

I have just changed my wheels for a set of ET 40 Ford fit 4 stud wheels. Standard Chimaera offsets are 25 front and 33 rear, but later ones I am told had a front offset of 33 or 35.

I fitted 5 mm spacers, to reduce the offset to 35 all round. Looks fine, no catching with 17 inch wheels. And the wheel nuts still have 7 turns without increasing the stud length.

To use 7mm spacers or longer you will have to fit longer studs. ET 42 wheels and tyres might catch on the inside - you will have to try them and see.

Hope this might help in some way

33 & 42 OTOMH, but I believe some of the conversions used fronts allround (like cerbs vs T'cars which have the std 33/42 split)

Thanks guys I run a Tamora and I'm get a vibration on front left at high speeds I've looked at all the usual suspects and ruled them out so going to use my mates Chim wheel to eliminate this on both front wheels as I believe that one of the wheels is buckled.when we were doing the conversion last year we couldn't remember the offset and he couldn't go to the garage to check as he's away this week hence the question

Thanks again chaps

For a Chimaera you will need to use 'rear' spiders all round and fit 7mm spacers to the front.

What would be the issue Mac if i didnt,is it just a handling/geo issue?
