Ultimate wheel fitting guide

Yeah it's kind of ended up that way I wanted it wide but when I saw those rims even before I refurbed them I had to have them and it all just spiralled out of control into a car that's completely ott haha

This is awesome....very helpful. Also, check out <rimtuck.com>. People are able to post pics and specs of tires,rims,suspension, and needed body mods. Its great to get an idea of what looks suit you.

I am lost and need some help
With 25mm extended front wings will 9.5 j et 25 fit
And how much arch would be needed to house 10.5 j et 12?

I'm looking at buying a set in the next week. From this thread I think I need 18x9.5 et12 (with a 30mm fender in the front) and 18x10 et25 on the back? Can anyone confirm this. I'm a bit unsure on the whether the rears will catch the coilovers tbh!

turns out the wheels don't come in those sizes. Would 18x9.5 et25 be okay for both front and rear?

I ran 18x9.5J et12 all around before, had quiet alot of camber at the rears to make them not look like "mexiflush".

Im sure et25 should be alright not touching the coilover. Think I had alot of space left to the coilover.

Hey guys,
i'm looking for some Work CR Kai with 8,5x18" et32 - 225/40 R18 on the front and 9,5x18" et 38 - 245/35 R18 or 255/35 R18. I run a HKS Hipermax with rolled arches. Will there be a problem? I would prefer to not use spacers.

Sorry for bad english.

If anyone can help me here, stock body, not wanting to roll, but i do have lwoered coilovers (battle nation i think)

looking at Enkei T6S.

my available options

18x8 et35
18x8 et45

18x8.5 et25
18x8.5 et35
18x8.5 et50

18x9.5 et15
18x9.5 et30

wouldnt mind doing a staggered set up but im not too sure if any of these offsets would work (except the 9.5 et15 in the rear)

You need a narrower tire anyways... i fitted 18 x 9 and 18 x 10 both plus 12 , with rolled arches. So you should be ok. Youd even get away with a 215 tire id say.

Do you have any pics please?
I'm looking at fitting 18x10 and 18x9.5, both ET12 to my stock bodied 15. How much of a flare will it need? I'm guessing I'll need to run 225/40's which isn't ideal with 350 odd brake/torque but they don't do the D2EX in ET30 or 35, which is what I reckon would be ideal.

Looking at getting rota gtr 18 x 8.5 all round et35 front et25 rear, running 245/35. Want them to sit flush or a little in the arch (don't like poke or camber over a couple degrees)

Will these be ok?

hi all ive got a standard 15 body, Looking at purchasing some japan racing jr12 wheels. looking for 18'9j front and 18'10j rears.. but i really have no idea on the offset i would need and if these sizes would even fit on a standard body? i have been reading through coments but ive read so many different things. i have standard brakes but hsd coilovers. here is the link to the wheels i want http://www.jdmdistro.com/shop/15-wheels/new-japan-racing-jr-12/ - they do them in many sizes. i just want to make sure i get the correct fitment lol many thanks.

How much camber are you wanting to run dude? If you're not wanting to run much at all then for your 9" wide fronts you'll probably want to go for et15-et20. If you fancy a little camber then you could go down to et10 fairly comfortably. As for the rears at 10" wide, again its a question of if you're wanting to run much camber. If the answer is no, i'd say you'd need 25+; if the answer is yes then could probably go down to et15 with minimal flaring on the arch. You will need to get all 4 arches rolled if you are lowering the car and most likely a slight flare on the rear depending on your et!

Me personally, i run 18x9.5 et10 all round but with a 5mm spacer up front (so effectively et5). I run -3degree camber on the rear with an arch roll and a slight flare. I'm running -3.5 degree camber on the front until i source some +20mm front fenders then will be reducing this!

Hope this helps

 

[Mycool]

thank you for the reply. Yeah I would like a little bit of camber, and with how much - i am unsure i'm pretty clueless when it comes to the whole set up! for the last week i have been looking it all up online, I'm slightly starting to learn all the jizt about fitment lol

 

[S15_SAM]

10j on rear with no flare you need +35. +30 with mad camber. But will defo need to roll arches either way!

Got it a pic of your car with current wheels jaime??

 

[N80Jamie]

I'm still yet to get proper pictures (said i'd get them for my build thread), but with the car being under a cover in the garage its an effort ha. These are the only pictures i've got:

18x9.5 et10
-3 camber
Arch Roll and roughly 5mm flare

Hi guys. I'm really confused as to what fitment i need here. Looking at 2 sets of wheels, 1, cosmis s1's they only come in 18x9.5 & with an offset of et15 all round. I have a standard s15 body but have hsd coilovers., how would these fit? & what size tyres would be needed? Cheers. Next wheels are the japan racing JR12 il be looking at getting these in 18s also. These come in either 9j or 10j & have every offset size from et10 to et33. I would like to run a little camber with not to much arch work. What will be the best fitment for me? Thanks

@Mycool

I have 18x9 et 15 fronts and 18x10 et33 rears fits spot on with a arch roll

 

[Mycool]

My car has literally just been resprayed today. They told me they didnt roll the arches before hand... So i dont think i want to be rolling them just yet.. (Pain). What kinda fitment would i be looking for on a totally standard body with coilovers? Cheers for reply tho bud

 

[S15_SAM]

Without a roll you can't go too wide or low!

I'd stick to 8-8.5 up front with et20-25. And 9-9.5 rear with et38-35.

I would suggest getting these sizes as your not going to need dished wheels if you don't want to go low or wide.

Ive got 8 up front with 8.5 rear and they are enough or me!

 

[Mycool]

Cheers will listen to your advice bud. These other wheels i am looking at comes in 8.5 et44. How would they likely sit? Sorry for all the dumb questions. I'm really quite useless when it comes to offsets etc lol

 

[Chriscooke]

8.5 et44 would be pretty sunk in the arches on the rear I'd of thought and most likely hit your coilovers on the front if you're running them.
