hey im thinkin of a bmw 320 si with te37''s but dont know what offset i want to goo 200mm but if not ill stick to 0 offset and 190 thanks

What chassis is this going on? If its a yokomo then you can prolly stick something around a 6mm. If its a tamiya chassis then you can go with like 9mm, maybe a bit more... The way I do it take an exciting body, knowing the width, and what ever wheels work with that body, knowing the offset. Then take you new body''s width and minus that from your old body. Then take your answer and devide that by 2, then take that number and add it to the offset of your old wheels. That should give you what offset you can run...

example on my yokomo chassis with ER34, 194mm body, and blitz wheels, 4mm offset. New body, a BMW M5, 200mm body. (new body-old body=a) 200-194=6, (a/2=b) 6/2=3,
(b+old wheels offset=what you can run) 3+4=7. So the most I can run on my new body is a 7mm offset wheel...

Hope you can understand what I trying to say...

holy S@#$ thanks i understood all of that now will that sit perfectly flush inside the wheel welds or is that sticking out a little and its on a tt01d

It''s an easy formula: my TT-01 has 0mm offset with a 190mm body I believe (stock rims), I plan on getting a 200mm so:

0.5*(200-190) +0 = 5mm

200mm on a tt01d u can run like 7/9 offset and add spacers to make it flush.

yeah that will sit the wheels nice and flush... Since it s tt01 with a 200mm body then you can prolly stick a 9mm or maybe even a 12mm... Not to sure about the TT01s though as I have a yokomo chassis. I do know that tamiyas chassis are a little smaller then yokomos so you guys can run high offsets when use a wide body...

thanks a ton ill consider that as of now im kinda bumbed they didnt have the bmw in 200 so i guess ill stick to somthing on the 190''s

Why not a BMW M3 ?? HPI Make a BMW M3 Shell??

I believe CEN do a BMW 320 Shell for their CT5 Nitro which you could track down ..

i have an m3 i run on my nitro and iim probably going to go wingless and those have the humps on the back for the wing that i dont feel like cutting off and im not a big fan of the back end of the m3

Wings are needed for Down force....(yes it is true even at this size) going wingless will make the tail end light at speed causing an increase in the tendancy to bounce..
Check out the CEN Shell

those are the older models the 320si im lookin at is an 07 or 08 by tamiya

Hi all. Hope this helps you out. TT-01 chassis, 200mm body, Yokomo ZR-DS18

Yokomo Volk Racing GT-C Wheels and Drift Tyres. 12mm off-set

thanks
