I've been toying around with the idea of getting new wheels for my Cube as I got the S model and have supplemented my stock caps with Full Moon (I'll post pics soon) caps for the time being. I've been looking into the Enkei T-FORK Wheel 17x7.0 4x114.3 wheels. I noticed there are two choices on the offset and really have no clue what would be better +38 or +45. Not sure if I am grasping this offset thing correctly or not so I apologize for my noobishness...would the +38 stick out further in the wheel well than the 45? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Moshe,

Think of the offset as being the center of the wheel. My wheels have a 0 offset, meaning since they are 7 inches wide, they have 3.5 inches on each side of the hub. Since the wheels you are looking at are a plus 38, the wheel is bigger on the inside of the wheel, meaning that more is in the wheel well then out of it.

Here's a simple rule of thumb:

The lower the number, the further it sticks out.

+45 would sit further into the wheel well than +38.

I used to have a set on my truck, we used to call them Salt Flat Disk's, true salt flats get screwed into the tires and the type I had and probably yours too were "push on" into the stock wheel lip. Baby moons were the old classic cereal bowl over the hub. Every once in a wile you see that look on a new car and I think it looks dumb.

I like the salt flat look, cant wait to see it on a Cube

Yup press on salt flat disks!

They look good, it is a great cheap way to make your ride look good!

Bummer is if you hit the right bump that puppy becomes a Frisbee, I know because I lost a few.

The screw on kind do not suffer this fait and they are wicked lighter too!

Installed the new wheels last night and they fit perfect. I got 18 x 7.5 +45 with 215/40 zr18 tires. I can turn the wheel stop to stop and have no contact anywhere.

Yes, those wheels should fit.

The centerbore shouldn't be an issue because you'll be able to get hubcentric rings to fit the wheels to the hub.

 

[KkSc]

ohhh..then what is the right hub bore for cube??

 

[schtebie]

Wheels are made to be universal. The hubcentric rings should come wig the wheels you buy as long as you get them from a reputable seller.

so if i get a set of wheels with this size and offset, then it will fit with no problem!!

That's correct!
