what size adapters for sawblades

[iBeast]

looking ot get a set of 9.5 all around and i need ot kno if anyone can help me on what size adapters to use ?

[JDriver1.8t]

what is their offset?
You do know that you are going to poke in the front, right?

[iBeast]

yea i heard there is no way to like get smaller adapters in the front so they dont
?

[JDriver1.8t]

They are too wide to not poke in the front.

What width are they? We need width and offset in order to give adapter measurements.

[iBeast]

the fronts say 17.2 x8.5x56
and the rears say 17.2x9.5x56

[JDriver1.8t]

25mm adapter fronts for flush
20mm adapters in the rear for flush to mild poke. Thicker adapters for more poke.

[iBeast]

where did you get these numbers jsut asking haha not saying your wronge jsut would liek to kno

[JDriver1.8t]

lots of experience

8.5 et30 is flush on a stock or slight drop, and slightly inset on slammed for the fronts.
8.5et20 is always near flush on the rear. Then using an offset calculator, or known conversions, you can calculate where the new wheel widths would fit with a given offset.

ooo nice nice hahaha

now ive heard you need ot get bigger adapters for sawblades but you know what your tallkng about so ima go with your numbers

You can google "wheel offset calculator" and put the numbers in I gave your for your 'stock' and then ending specs for your new wheels and see where they are going to sit in relation to your fender.

You can do a search in the MK4 forum for sawblades and you will get a lot of results. Most of the threads have the specs in them as well.

I hate stretch and poke, so what I recommend is for normal and proper fitment, it isn't what gets attention though.

Your wheels are 8.5'' et56 in the front and 9.5'' et56 in the rear.
When you add the adapter width, it lowers the offset number.
8.5'' et 56 + 35mm adapter = final (effective) et 31mm. This will be flush in the front, to slight tuck when slammed.
9.5" et56 + 20mm adapter = final et36. This will be flush in the rear, or close to it.

56 - 35 = 21

haha, never said I could add right.....
well, then they will poke a little if you/he/they go with that. a 25mm adapter should have been what was there.

Ok i am doing the same thing i have NONE staggered set of sawblades 9.5 all way around with 56 offset.

I bought 1 adapter at 25mm to see how it sits before i order the rest I can return it also if not what i need so im not worried about that,

So my question is so i run 20mm all way around since all 9.5 wide rims? or should i use different size? any help would be great thanks guys, and for you who have sawblades 17/9.5 what tires Size and Brand are you running

[Sreter]

i'm trying to figure this out as well... i was told to run 35mm adapters all around with 9.5s all around. Those will poke just a slight bit in the front and poke a little more in the rear... supposedly gives a really nice fitment. and the 35mm in the front will clear suspension

anyone can correct me if i'm wrong though. I'm looking around the forums to make sure this is right

[Stephen1991]

bumpin this up as well, i have the 9.5 all around and im wondering what to use in the front. im pretty set for the rears, probably going to use 35mm or 38mm for the rears but i dont want much poke in the front, maybe just a tad past flush
