SupraDan24 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 18's with good offsets are perfect imo. 18 x 9.5j ET35 front and 18 x 10j ET 35 Rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 iirc the oem 17's are 17x9.5" for the rears and 17x8'' for the fronts. For the stance in the above pictures, only the 17x8'' got widened to 11,5''. For tire options i would suggest talking to someone who has more experience in tire choices, I know there is a tire vs rim size calculator on the forum somewhere,, I run 9J's up front with 245's and 10J's at the rear with 275's all are Bridgestone Potenza's RE050A. How do you actually widen a wheel? surely there must be a risk to its strucural integrity? or is it completely safe? the only reason i asked is i actually really like the look of those 11.5s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon5698 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Looks lovely that mate, when you come to looking for your decats go over to AAS in newcastle and get them, they are the ones you used to be able to buy from one of the old traders on here but a lot cheaper direct from them and superb qualtiy.

I'm sure it requires the wheel to be split and an alloy band to be double welded in the centre. Can't imagine it'll be cheap to have done though.
