marcAB10 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Well tomorrow or tuesday when i get time but i am really rather excited!! imo the only thing that still bugs me about my car are the wheels, i do like them but i wanted a better fitting wheel and love the look of the ones i'm going for, it's just taken a little time to get the money together. As for fitment i'm going for the same as Jamsey has with his SSR's as his look like the fit and look i want, so a big thanks to him for helping me with the info. so heres the info- 18x9.5 et25 fronts 18x11 et24 rears so the wheels i'm going for are workmiester s1's 3 piece, gloss black center with polished lip and studs from MVP.. not sure on the waiting time yet... lets hope it's not the 4 months like jamseys SSR's lol.... no doubt it will be though and here's how my car is sitting right now on the current wheels- At the end of March i'm ordering new coilovers so i can get it sitting just right on the new wheels and getting my arches rolled all round. a bit excited here so thought i'd share Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcAB10 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) thanks guys, whatever the waiting time is it's gonna go past sloooooow lol Look nice mate, what are your old rims? They don't look to bad either! they are FUEL 5 wheels, had them a few years, great quality imo for the price... but i need 'stepped lip' in my life.. and i've drooled of the works for too long!! Lovely wheels mate...nice choice! 11" on the rear with rolled arches...will this def work!? Seems alot when most people say you need to roll for 10" rears!? it's what Jamsey is running with his SSR's on stock arches, he is running 295 tyres and says he gets a little rubbing, i am planning on running 285 or 275 (so they will be a little stretched) so they don't foul.

Scott Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Man those fronts are going to be TIGHT at that offset. The rears you will get there with stretched tyres (I have 265s on 10s and they are silly streched though). You're a braver man than me with those offsets Those will look absolutely gorgeous mate, can't wait to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 They will look the bollocks when fitted dude, Although just dont have anyone in the back of the car, as you will get serious rubbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Marc just double check those sizes? Im with Scott i'v got 10'' +32 on the rear, and i had to get mine shaved as these were rubbing, be a a bummer if your order them from Dusty and they dont fit.

marcAB10 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 Nice one, can't wait to see them, what coilovers are you going for? not sure yet at all, i havn't really looked into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im with Scott i'v got 10'' +32 on the rear, and i had to get mine shaved as these were rubbing, be a a bummer if your order them from Dusty and they dont fit. yeah just looked again and on his wheel thread- 18x9.5 et25 fronts - 225/40/18 Falken 452 18x11 et24 rears - 295/30/18 R888 he is running them on stock arches, he said he gets a bit of rubbing at the rear, which is why i thought if i run 275 rears it should help with that. i do actually want the lip of the wheel to stick out a little bit, so not completely flush with the arch, which is what jamsey seems to have on his but not so much it looks bad iykwim.

Jamesy Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Will look pukka mate. Glad help. If u dont want them to rub your gonna need to stretch on a 265/275 rear tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u dont want them to rub your gonna need to stretch on a 265/275 rear tyre yeah well 275 is what i had in my mind and i don't think the stretch looks too ott at that size, how much of an arch roll have you got btw, is it fully rolled flat on the inside?

Jamesy Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yeah mate fully rolled. The wheel actually sticks out a couple of mm's from body which is why u need to stretch tyres. 275 should do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Great choice, looking forward to the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
