Fitz Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Now I know that wheel choice is very much a personal preference and some people prefer certain styles to others, but I wanted to get some input on here in regards to wheels. The car is pretty much stock externally (Silver 199) with the exception of a matt black (plastidipped) RMM polyurethane front lip, earless. It currently has the stock 17's on with UK Brakes underneath. Initially, I was set on getting some Works Meister S1's, like Dave (tkdav3) but it seems they are growing in popularity so I'm looking if there are other alternatives. I did also, find a cheap replica of these wheels should anyone want that look but be on a budget, they're Konig SSM - however the rear offset on a 10J is +15 so wouldn't work I also was considering some Weld's that have been for sale on FB but looking into more detail at the offset, they're not that great +56 fronts and +69 rears I then started looking at things other than a 5 spoke alloy to see if there was something that caught my eye and stumbled across Works Emotion D9R's that JackyBoi has; but reading on his thread the 19" wheels rubbed slightly on his UK fronts so he sanded the brakes back slightly (something I don't really want to do on my new brake setup) So, heres the thing - what 18" wheels can people suggest that would sit flush with the arches and clear UK brakes - I do love a 5 spoke setup with some dish but will also consider alternative styles. The arches on my car are also stock, not rolled or cut in anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 CCW LM5 or LM5T are nice (I have some LM5T on order just now). Not the cheapest option, but you can spec them to the millimetre Work Equips can be nice as well, though I don't know the specs of sizes offered.

Otherwise, I'd be stuck doing the same thing I've been doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraleeturbo Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 My dad suprajose has a set of the d9r in 18" et 30 all the way round and he just rolled the arches on the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 So, I've decided to pull the trigger and just go with the wheels I always set out to get - Works Meister SP1's in 18" - I want to make sure that I have a "flushed" look so they fill the arches without spacers. A few people have suggested the following (with an arch roll on the rear) Fronts - 9.5J ET35 and 10.5J rears ET29 I have UK brakes on the car as stated so they'll need to clear them. Do those offsets sound right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraleeturbo Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 The rears may need to be cambered in bud if your going to run a 295 tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 What size tyres are you thinking of running? Good Question, I'm not very clued up on the whole Wheel/Tyre sizes but according to some helpful websites the 'Ideal' sizes are; Fronts: 255 or 265 so could potentially go for 255/45/18 Rears: 275 or 285 so could potentially go for 275/40/18 Input?

Style Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Nice choice on the wheels! Might need to drop them to a 40 and 35 profile but apart from that I'd say you'll be okay. Could maybe even get away with the higher width options as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like the same site I was using! Fingers crossed that they'll fit then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Good choice Fitz. I would have had the S1 3 piece wheels over mine, but that price tag put me off (that and I got mine on deal) good luck fitting them! You'll need it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I spent months working out sizes for the Work Meister SP1's that would sit nice and flush with the arches. But we are running a 265/35/18 and a 315/30/18 so dont think the offsets we've gone for will help you at all. But more than happy to send the sizes and offsets over to you dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littler Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Fitz go for the wheels you were trying to poach off me way back when Or the deeper ones that Baldy has http://www.ravspeconline.com/images/wheels/advan/rsd/advan-rsd-180.jpg 295/35 et35 cut or rolled arch and a good stance, this is the best pic I can find of the rear arch/tyre on my old one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprano Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I have 9.5 and 10.5 I have 255 and 275 and they look good I think I'm sure you will have to do a slight arch roll tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 So DriftWorks have emailed me to say that the ET29 isnt possible on the rears and that they can either do ET24 or ET37. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 10.5" with a 37 offset should sit well with the arches and allow you to get a decent sized tyre on there, think a 24 offset would be very tight and a stretched tyre would be needed for it to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
