Which wheels should I get ideas?

[Topper]

if you get emotion, go 17x9+17 f & 18x9.5+12 rear

Would never fit without huge amounts of camber and even then you would struggle

Dont get works :no:

I really like the work wheels you had topper.
Wish they were still available. :wave:

Didn't you had problems with the back wheels?
Can't it be corrected or some sort?

 

[Topper]

I had problems with all the wheels, they stuck out if i run anything less than about -4 degrees of camber all round (i.e. -3, or -2), they were lovely and i would love another set as they looked awesome, but at 9j all round and ET17 offset they were just no use :no:, even with 215 rubber front and 225 rear.

How about white CR kais?
They are pretty cheap in Japan compared to other forged wheels.

Hey Yakozan - I've seen some pics of your car with black mesh type alloys - are these on there now? If not, ditch the white ones and go back to those - they looked much better!

Lol
no, the black wheels will be fitted to the Skyline. I'll have a set of bronze TE37s to go on the Silvia
If they fit that is.
Black wheels look pretty good on black cars. But I prefer 5-6 spokes. mesh is no fun to clean

Im researching some rims already and have noticed something very similar to the Bee*r B5 rims.

They also have some lovely Works copies.

If you download the brochure, they have 17s too, and I think there is a siliva specific fitment.

Love the look on the car and the rims are cool! :thumbs:

J - not really, basically just roll the guards, use undersized tyres and a bit of camber... my friend is running 17x9+15 with 225's on the front, it scrubs a little but thats only because its lower than it should be... it depends what you want though, your welcome to use high offsets, but i personally prefer something more aggressive.

 

[Topper]

Does look good :nod:, the ET17 9j's i had fitted fine with a huge amount of camber -

But the traction was poor and was eating the inside edge of the tire, i wanted performance, i couldnt get the full use of the engine with that amount of camber, so i adjusted it, which made the wheels stick out. Whcih is a real shame as i loved those wheels

 

[A'PEXi]

yeh, at the end of the day, as long as your happy then use the wheels which you like my friend's car i mentioned is setup for circuit racing, aligned by professional suspension shop, corner weighted, running on 245-40-17 hoosier slicks for track work... plenty of camber on the front

in the pic - using street wheels...

 

[Topper]

Not alot of camber at the rear though :no: which must mean he's running a higher offset...

 

[A'PEXi]

9 +30 at the rear, 255's, -1.5 camber

 

[Topper]

:nod:, and clearance is close.

Fitting a lower offset would have them sticking out, i had the same camber with 9j +17, they just looked stupid.

 

[PhilV]

very nice, i like ur car Topper, probs cause it looks identical to mine bar the spiler and the car colour ha ha however mine has some mesh on the little intake holes on the front bumper, might have to remove that looks a bit weird

 

[Topper]

Thanks man, i like your car too

 

[S15_silvia_]

i do like the camber look..make it look hard but will be not good for puttin power down....topper i like your car..good wheels choice too!
