Spunkmeyer Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Having whittled down a few alternatives I'm thinking of getting a set of these Weds Kranze LMZ. There are a few options on the website to choose from but I'm after 18s and would rather not roll arches or use spacers. I'm on coilovers. Not fussed by the finish as I'll eventually do the centres in Matt graphite grey. It's the widths v offsets v brake clearance I need help on. I thought of asking Ibrar but his were for wide arch http://www.jdmdistro.com/?s=Kranze+LMZ&submit=Search Basically a few options plus they have pairs so I think I can split sets up to suit the best fit (possibly being hopeful on that). The below are all in UK/EU 8s 9s at 44 offsets, I think won't clear UK brakes (prefer this finish) 9s 10s at 32 offsets, better? Wider and further out in the offset 8s 9s at 22 offsets Tried email, phone but no response from them. Don't even know where they are based? Can't find an address anyway Cheers for any advice Have checked the wheels to fit UK brakes thread but these aren't listed (that I could see) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuneR Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Id be fairly confident the 9/10 +32 combo would clear UK brakes, it'd certainly fit perfectly since mine are 9/10 +34 and fit fine lowered on Eibach (thats with the standard width tyres). The spokes look to have good clearance hence the assumption that they should fit UKs, mine clear my UK rears and 6 pot fronts which i think are wider than UKs. My wheels are from him too although i had them refurbed, he's in Wicklow, Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 18x9 +32 and 18x10 +32 would be the best size to go with but you will need to roll the arches slightly, which is very quick and easy to do. They look like they should clear the larger calipers. These are my Weds SA-70 wheels they are also 18x9 +32 and 18x10 +32, more pics here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spunkmeyer Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 What does it mean by "ideal candidate for lip rebuild"? Does it mean ideal to make into bigger wheels Or that as they are they are not fit for purpose and need a full refurb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
