18\'s or 19\'s I can\'t decide?!? Help!!

[leeroy_25]

Well That is worth knowing! I would be running around 25-30offset I think as I have a wide arch kit, so may get a bit extra clearance but that is what I was thinking might happen.. I notice the rims look a little inset under the arch? could you not put some spacers on to bring them out a bit?

Interesting, I was running 19x8.5 front, 19x9.5 rear both on ET38, with TEIN coilovers and there was absolutely zero rubbing. I\'ve also got a Burnout now , so have gone a little more extreme...

Personally, if I had a black car, I would go black centres, polished deep dish rims.

Mines hitting the front of the arch liners not the arches themselves so changing the offset isnt going to really help me i dont think, Its fine on a smooth road but rubs at the slightest bump, maybe coilovers would solve the problem making it stiffer. Aftermarket springs aint helping me is my thoughts.

I spent ages looking at diffrent wheel sizes to go with my chargespeed arches, and i think 18\'\' is perfect for the rx7, 19\'\' seem better suited to bigger cars like supra\'s, had 17\'\' before and they looked good too..... will send you some pics later.

[leeroy_25]

yes please!! Thank you for your efforts people!

19\'s on mine too!! 10\'s on the rear.. 8.5\'s on the front.

[leeroy_25]

Hmm. Do you have any rubbing issues.. It\'s funny how the style of wheel makes them look so different.. I would alos say they look small on that pictures!! Is the car lowered or on standard suspension?

Lee

[pete sparrow]

No rubbing issues,bcoz the arches have been rolled.Not standard rx suspension,but RZ springs with bilstein shocks..

[leeroy_25]

Ok then guys,

Now what do you reckon.. I think the black and polished rims are 19\'s?? where as the others are 18\'s? If anyone knows differently please let me know.. I think the first is the nuts! Any one know what the bodykits is. looks very similar to my burnout kit but the edges of the wings are not quite right? maybe it\'s been modded or it\'s a DIY arch flare?? Chargespeed kit is similar too but I thought they all had big vents in the front wings??

Those are Work Meister Rims, very very nice, I like the bottom pic best.

[leeroy_25]

I thought these were work rims.. but I think I prefer the top one!! each to there own though.... Bottom picture doesn\'t really do the car justice being more side on like that..

how about 19 rears 18 front...problem solved  seriously though look at the burnout demo car...19 r 18f

As above they are Meister S1\'s - the bottom ones are the three piece and the other ones the two piece - the two piece ones don\'t have the bolts visible.
Absolutely awesome wheels, and what i shall be getting for my FD - they look even better in the flesh.
Also look at something like the SSR PRofessors - very similar style but slimmer spokes, and the spokes go further towards the edge of the rim, so the wheel looks slightly large.

I personally prefer a smaller wheel with big dish, and a healthy stretch, but that\'s just the old skool part of me talking

[leeroy_25]

Well.. The burnout car is my desktop!! my motivation!! not sure that I would like two different wheel sizes in reality thought..  As for wheels.. Works ones are awesome.. would love to pick up a second hand set for sensible money!
It\'s all about the dish for me!! and I do like the stretched look within reason.. size.. will that is the current problem!! about right!! but I just can\'t figure what \'about right\' is!!? One minute I think 19 for sure the next 18!

I have some SSR Evolutions on my GTR so I might try and squeeze one on to see what the 18\'s look like! not really a fair test as they are the wong offset and wrong colour but hey.. maybe it will give me an idea?!
