9,5 " on s15 need pics !

[katten6]

Heeey!

someone who has pictures of 9.5 on a s15 with et 30?
the ones I want to buy is:
Rota Torque
18x9,5"
ET30

and want to see how it will look like.

These are et35 with a 5mm spacer, 235/35 tyres. Sorry these are the best ive got.

 

[katten6]

does look really good. 5 mm all around? can you turn without any problems?

 

[Controll3d]

NeilTSport, sure those ain't ET25's with 5mm spacers instead? Looks pretty much same than my setup.


I'm have 9.5's at front. GTR-D ET25 with 5mm spacers and barelly clears coilovers. (Rear are 10" ET35)

 

[shifty]

What would et25 with 5mm spacers make it, et30?

 

[Controll3d]

ET20

 

[NeilTSport]

Controll3d: Yours look like they stick out further than mine and yea they're et35.

They are pretty damn close to the coilover! No scrubbing though, probably helps with my crappy ride height.

Yup, that would not clear the Coilover if you were any lower. I'm running a 9j et 20 on the front of my car and it fouled the Coilover at et25 but my car is very low. The rim of my wheel sits horizontal to the spring.

Aah, yeh. Now that i look again there's difference.

That sure is close.
Mine didn't clear coilovers at first and inner lip of wheel got destroyed. Other side was between coils. Now preload is set "wrong" and it clears both sides.


Tbh, 9.5's are bit too wide for front with stock fenders or without addional camper+lower ET.

 

[shifty]

So would 9.5 et30 not fit? Im completely confused by all this et talk lol

 

[Controll3d]

For front 9.5 ET30 will fit depending suspension setup. With stock shocks or off-road hight it's no prob.
Bit more lowered needs some additional work for suspension settings to clear coils.

 

[shifty]

ah bugger, mines not standard height....guess il have to stretch the tyres and flare the arch.

Thanks

All the photos are of Rota Grid Drift 18x9.5 et30 (they are et35 wheels with a 5mm spacer making them et30) with BC coilies set slightly lowered believe it or not and not modified any arches wack.

Problems you might have if your lower:

Wheel hitting coilover, as you can see that 'collar?' or whatever them nuts at the bottom of the spring are called are sat just above the rim and just miss the tyre.

Arches would need rolling, probably needing a flare too.

Up to you dude

 

[shifty]

okay got you....got confused with the pictures of the 9.5j and 10.5 on the pewter one.

think il go with the 30s and just see how they fit. If a spacers needed ill just flare the arches....there all ready rolled.

 

[katten6]

thx for all pics !
think I will try the 9.5 et30

picture of the ones I want to buy

looks quite good on an s14. Does anyone know if s14 and s15 is the same width?

 

[Adam L]

The S14 is wider, body wise, that's why they can get away with running wider and lower et wheels with less or no arch work.
