RichTrdAlsop Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Is anyone running an 18"x11 et8 rear wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I would be surprised. You would need a mental stretch on them with loads of archwork. I have 10" et20's and I get rubbing on a widebody with overfenders (295mm tyres). I could easily get away with bigger wheels and keep the same tyres though so all that really matters to scrubbing is the offset and tyre width.

ashloys Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Someone wants Cosmis wheels Are you stock body? If you are there won't be anyone running those sizes or any similar sizes/offsets tbh. I was considering 18x10.5 ET/2030 and even that was pushing it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichTrdAlsop Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Yeah it's a shame the Cosmis wheels are such a low offset at 11" wide. I was just curious if anyone had fitted them, and what they looked like. Stock body at the minute, but I will either be having some wide arches made up at some point, or purchasing some and modifying them, so I'm not too concerned about the fitment, to an extent. I know it's going to take ALOT of work to get them on, but I like a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) There was a guy on FB running them on stock body, IMO looked stupid even though they are a very nice wheel. far too aggressive. Hes crashed the car now but will try find a picture for you... Here you go although he claims the rear was et12 not 8 Edited January 21, 2016 by ripped_fear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichTrdAlsop Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Yeah I'm sure they were 9.5 wide et 10, which is a possibility, just didn't think 9.5 would be wide enough with a 9 upfront? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binfieldx Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm running 19x 10.5 et 9 and it's got widearch veilside spats, they just about fit into those... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichTrdAlsop Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Thanks bud. According to calculations, the wheels in question will sit 1mm further into the body, than what Kaan's rotas do, so that's the sort of with I'm expecting on the rear arches.

It's all about the tyres. The extra width is useful for where the offset is different from stock. The extra width helps offset the smaller offset. Those don't look like 9.5 et10s though, they look like 11s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to his for sale thread they are- Rears are 18x11j et12 Front 18x9.5j et10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichTrdAlsop Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Ah ok fair enough, I've not seen his sale thread yet, the 11" are only available in an et8, on the driftworks site. They may be available elsewhere in a different offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashloys Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Afaik they aren't, I remember looking at the official size/offset chart a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One wheel is knackered from the crash but the other three are up for £350 maybe a cheaper way of getting you some? find out where he ordered then just order one wheel. IMO I would bee looking at a kit though as they quite frankly dont fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichTrdAlsop Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Found his Facebook advert and I think he's sold them, not in the position to buy just yet. I've got a trial rear, and oem skirts which I'll be swapping out for some blitz skirts. Then the arches will be made/modified to suit the wheels.
