Wheel help

[Yakozan]

OK guys.

Will try to get a set of 18" wheels. I want to go as wide as possible without flaring or rolling so far.

This is what offsets and widths I have to play with.

I'm guessing that the 9.5J rims won't fit in the rear

So thinking about going 7.5J in the front and 8.5J in the rear.
Just want second opinions on the offsets.

Front:
7.5J Offset +35

Rear:
8.5J Offset +43

What do you think?

 

[Nicely]

Probably.

A bit unsure on the front offset of +35.
I have +35 on my 8J front rims and it's very good.

Would +42 fit without sticking out?

Get -

Fronts - 8.5j ET38
Rear - 9.5j ET38

Em...........................

No that 9.5j probably wont fit, if you go for 8.5j at the rear i'd go for the ET38, or maybe 43 to be safe, if 43 tucks under to much you can use a 3-5mm spacer to push it out a little :thumbs:

Front should be good as long as you dont go to low, if you plan to go low, i'd change to 7.5j and ET 35, then use a 5mm space to fill the arch :thumbs:

:EDIT: So yeh, what you said :wack:

Would +72 fit without sticking out?

So fronts 7.5J +35 might fit spacer.
rears 8.5J +38

That should do the trick then

I've calculated that the +38 rims will stick out 3,35mm more then my BBS rears are now. Which should be OK.

Idealy a ET38 offset would be matted to a 9j rim, 8.5j should be fine :nod:

I have 8j Fronts with ET35 and 5 mm spacer (making it ET30), so i would suggest a 7.5j will need a spacer :nod:

Also this --- Is 4mm, so it wont be much different.

Just sent an e-mail to Japan for prices
Topper, you will be very jelous if I get these wheels

What about tires.
I reckon 225/40 R18 for the fronts and 255/35 R18 for the rears.

 

[Topper]

Is 225mm not a bit big for a 7.5j?

I dont want to know :no:

I thought you had your car up for sale again.

You changed your mind again?

Nope. It's for sale

But thinking about wheels for my next project :thumbs:

Got the quote now. 250000JPY with tires and no freight. Was abit more then I wished for. But might go for it :
