New wheels help plz

[bakes fq]

Im goin to b getting a new set of wheels soon for my 9 ready for the show season : ) just wonderd what the biggest and best size would be to get without it rubbing on the arches and just fit straight on with no problems ? I'm kinda set on 18s but not sure what width to get ? Many thanx

 

[Steve220]

9" width you won't have any issues with. My spare wheels are on 245's on a 9" width and i've had it bottom out on the suspension ET30's.

Nice 1 , how would a set of rota grid drift 18- 9.5 fit ? Also what colour for a silver car , hyper black or flat black ? Thanx

 

[Steve220]

Colour - Up to you. Its your car.

As far as width, be careful with matching your offset properly, if you get it wrong, it'll stick out and catch your arches or it'll scrape the inner arches and wear your tires.

IMO - Rota's are common and heavy.

U know I was thinking that , it does seem like every evo I see it has rotas on . Can recommend anything else that will look good m8

 

[Steve220]

There are some AWESOME wheels out there, but the lighter ones which will get the suspension to work properly and handle better are loads!! The wheels i want i'm still saving for as they're £550 a corner

Anything Volk's are always good, keep your eye on ebay for stuff coming up

Iv looked at volks , well nice , but well dear : ( what do u think of XXR wheels ? Also if heard a few people put 18 . 9.5 on the rear and 18 . 9.0 on the front. Why is this ? What size do u think I should fit ? Thanx for your help : )

 

[Steve220]

I wouldn't have staggered fitments as it can bugger up the ayc/acd but XXR's are nice!!

 

[bakes fq]

Also when I look at wheels it got ET and a number next to it , what does that mean ?

 

[Steve220]

offset..

 

[bakes fq]

Ok nice 1 . So final question , should I go for 18 9.5 all,round ? Lol

 

[gooner8]

ultra lite's do some nice wheels for a 9 or kai or kato do wheels for jap car's. oz speed line there's loads!

 

[bakes fq]

Cheers m8 I'll have a look.. Does the differant ET on the wheel determine how much the wheel dishes in ?

 

[B6lee]

18x9.5 will go on but youll need to fit say a 245 35 tyre on them which will give them a slight streech but should mean they wont catch the arches on the rear

 

[bakes fq]

Nice 1 Thanx for that . What ET would I need ?

 

[B6lee]

Nice 1 Thanx for that . What ET would I need ?

Thanx for the help there . Iv been looking into things abit and think I'm goin to get a set of Rita grid drifts 18x9.5 as iv always liked them . But Im not to sure what ET to get . I know the lower the number the more dished they look , and I love the the look of the real dished in ones but not sure witch ones would be ok to fit on my car without it giveing me problems or it rubbing anywhere ? How low ET can I go ? Many thanx
