Sizes and Offsets.... FD Fitment

[Zee]

They are only 7 inches wide, the stock wheels are an inch wider than these.

See post no 28.

This would be a backward step for you to take.

I understand this. IIRC a wider wheel offers greater handling whilst comprimising ride quality.
Has anyone used such a width and is able to offer to how badly we\'re talking about the handling becoming?

did we get confirmation of how much the 16" wheels weigh?

The standard 91-95 alloys weigh about 7 kg and the tyres about 10 kg new

The later alloys are a bit lighter 0.5 kgs perhaps less.

On 18s what would be the right offset to get the wheels to sit at the arches and not up in then (like drift cars) dont mind rolling the wee lip away. Prolly something like a 8.5" front and a 9.5" rear, would et17 sit ok?

rx8 rims with 225/40 18 tyres fit on the the rear of my fc but the front touch the shocks an am going to try wheel spacers. Hope it works!

19s

Front:
235/35/19 (650mm external diameter)

Rear:
265/30/19 (650mm external diameter)

seen this in a previous post - would this be ok for 10"rear and 9.0"front?

Just read this whole thread, and no-one mentions centre bore size.  

Whats the centre bore size for 92 FD?

[ENVYD]

some one wants to swap me for there wheels and theres are
 
18x9.5j et12 front and back!
 
will they fit, rub so on.. ??
 
edit: its for a FD

[isijappanisi]

I\'ve got 19x9,5 ET35 front with 235/35-19 tires, at the back 19x9,5 ET20 235/35-19 tires. They are fitted to the car with no rubbing - standard arches.

[TiddlesRX7]

Can anyone tell me what size spacers I need to fit FD wheels to my FC?

[stew]

Who makes a 16x8 wheel other than stock wheels?

[SiH]

How long is a piece of string?!

Loads of people dude.
First ones that spring to mind are OEM Skyline R32GTR (Non V-Spec) wheels - stupidly light, et30, so easy enough fitment, and very sexy as well. They\'re a 66.1 centre bore so you\'d need to get them bored out to the Mazda\'s CB though.

can any one tell me what the widest rims you can fit under a standard body with a rolled lip i wantto run  the same size front and rear and run 18* wheels ? for a track day car but i need a wide as track as possible without having to fit any flash body panels ?  ta

[SiH]

You a 19" is easy on the rear with a rolled lip. I reckon there\'s room for an 11.
If you want to run the same size and offset all round you are greatly narrowing your possibiliies. You\'d probably be limited to a 9.5 with a 255, maybe 265 at a push. There\'s loads more room on the rear than the front though, so you\'d be really restricting yourself by running the same wheel on all 4 corners.

18x9.5 et 30 all the way around with 265/35s

you could run 18x10 et35 with 265s as that would make your wheels stick 1.35mm out further than the picture, think thats probably about the limit, your car will have to be pretty high up remember so you will probably want some sideskirts to give a better look

[SiH]

If you\'re talking the same all the way round, I\'d be very suprised if you can get a 265 on front with an et30.
Specs of Paul\'s car need checking. I run a 225 on the front on an et25 on a 17 and it scrubs.a 265 would run circa 10mm further out. On those 18\'s it would be even closer.
Plus I have to say, those don\'t look like a 265 on a 9.5, the sidewall profile is the wrong shape. It may be the angle of the photo and I\'m probably totally wrong though.
