Title: Wheels and offsets...again
Post by: Ed_RX7 on November 14, 2004, 12:02:52 PM
considering changing my wheels

looking at two wheels

8 x 18 front  ET35

9.5 x 18 rear  ET35

OR

8 x 18 front ET 40

9 x 18 rear ET 40


As my car is extremly low on lowered springs and bilstein dampers do you think I will have a problem whith rubbing....p.s I have had my arches rolled when I got the car just in case i wanted to do this!!!!.......
Just not sure if i might get rubbing on the suspension on full lock?

Help


Cheers:confused:

Hello again...

Right....front alloys are 18x8J 5H 114.3+42
Rears are 18x9J 5H 114.3+38

Tyre sizes are
F: 235/40/18
R:265/35-18

As for lowering, My car has been a bit of a project, spent a lot of time and money on it.  I have a set of coil overs to go on, so i will egt the car sat right on the alloys....hopefully..

Anyway, here\'s a pic of them.

Cheers

Adam
