HELP: Wheel Recommendation

[PhilV]

actually I am getting them in 17's again I have decided 17's look fine so meh...or should I fill the arches more? hmmm dunno now...if i change sizes ill have tyo do stuff so it reads speed properly? bah more hassle, i think not!!

Front: 17?8.0JJ+32(ST) 215/45
Rear: 17?9.0JJ+44(DT) 235/40

i wish the previous owner had done this an not cause me such hassle lol

See, none of you trust me, thats the sizes i've been saying all along

My front 8j ET30's have 225/45/17
Rears should be ok for a 245, maybe even 255, but would prob need arch rolling.

I just had to post this up. It makes Toppers old sticky-outty wheels look nicely tucked-in...

 

[Topper]

Yes that is slightly more than mine :nod:

finally!!

the tractor in back ground is there to show just how much wheels could stick out!

 

[Topper]

Where are the sizes and offset , and suspension info, come-on man, get on it

 

[Paddy mack]

they are mentioned earlier in the thread. but fo rthe lazy bloke in scotland. 9.5 X18 rear with 235/40R18 and 8.5 X 18 front with 225/40R18 Et30 alround. as for the camber i've adjusted nothing from when i got it. its on stock suspension.

 

[raytsang]

some pics with the wheels on.

did not touch the camber settings yet.

Wow - nice looking motor :notworthy:

Those CR Kai's take some beating...

Looks like you've got some perfect fitments and you'd expect Work to be able to get it right with S15's :nod:

 

[ichi-go]

That is not what Work recommends. They always recommend 7.5 and 8.5 for s15s. Pretty sure the cr kai above is 8.5 and 9.5

You dont get the concave look in 8.5

 

[Robbyp]

its prob 8j 9j dont think they come in half size!

 

[raytsang]

works recommend 7.5 and 8.5 on 18 inches rims but in 17inch they recommend 8 and 9. the front on mine are not concave but ther flush but the rears are concave. think it looks sweet like that.

 

[Topper]

They are fron 8j ET32 and rea9j ET44 right? Looks good fitment, could run a 255 on the rear no problem , how is clearance of the suspension at the rear?

 

[raytsang]

no problems with clearence on rears (suspension or arches)
Could run 255 but would have lots of tire flex on the side wall not really what i want.

haha 255tires is 10inch wide on 9 inch width rim will look funny, but plenty of rim protection :wack:

 

[PhilV]

UPDATE!

after alot of searching came across a make I hadn't heard of before, called RAZE and they make a wheel I really like, called the R74, either way here it is:

so I thought I'd do a cheap Photoshop onto my car and here it is...I really like the look, atm that over my 17" rims but im going for 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 back on the RAZE wheels, think they look top, what u guys think?

 

[raytsang]

[PhilV]

yeh had already seen those but these are half the price eh eh and I am now paying for a house as well and at the age of 20 its a bit moneys train ha ha so gotta go for the cheap ones

 

[mitch]

I think I need to keep an eye on this thread. Either arch attack, selling the wheels or selling the car....

​

That's on stock suspension. When the fronts go on, they'll probably be as bad or worse, but wide wings are easy enough to fit at the front...

You were warned....
