ripped_fear Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) Hi everyone I have been searching and can I find it no, I know it must be on here somewhere but I'm about to scream so taking the easy option. so can anyone tell me the width's of the stock/OEM 16" wheels, am I right in thinking they are 7.5j fronts and 8.5j rears, or are the 8j and 9j? thanks in advance Edited September 3, 2011 by ripped_fear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 They will be Mk3 wheels. They might look okay, if a little stepped-in, as the offset (assuming that is negative, not positive!) is making up for some of the lack of width. They should still fit over the brakes provided you have the smaller 2/1 pot setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 safe, yes IMO...........as for look the fronts will stick out 1-2mm less than a stock 16 8" rim............the rears will 8-9mm further out than a stock 16 9" rim.......so a little 'in' compare to most aftermarket options but not terrible......

ripped_fear Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 not sure what they are from but they are on driftworks so could be from anything heres the link- http://www.driftworks.com/forum/wheels-tyres-sale-private-sales/150986-rota-d1-17-gold-f7-5j-et45-r8-5j-et35-good-tyres.html not great condition but with a bit of work I reckon they could look good I assume that is negative not positive.

ripped_fear Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Bumping this thread as it looks like the offsets will be positive according to the Rota website does this mean they will not be suitable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
