Ultimate wheel fitting guide

8.5/9.5 Et30 all round would look great without having to do any real arch work, just a light roll on the rears with 255/35, no flaring - the front won't catch the liners or rub either on a 225/40 . I know this setup works as I had it on my old car but with coilovers, if you're clear of the spring cups (which you should be) then you're laughing...

thanks for the advice the only thing i'm troubled with is that there is no other sizes availible then :
18x8 et 35 or 45
18x9 et 22 or 50
i thought front 8j et 35 but i have no clue about the rear 9j's
Et50 with a 20mm spacer ? Or will et 22 work aswell

Et 22 on the back will have loads of room inside but depending how low you go and tyre size may rub a touch and may need a light roll, you'll have 2mm more outside clearance than I had on my 9.5j and that never rubbed the rolled arch quite low on coilovers

Front et35 will fit easy, a 10mm spacer would make them look even better

I'm looking at purchasing xd9s for my s15. This is the offset the company can sell me 18x9 +30
18x10 +38. Can any one tell me if this will fit or what problems I may have? Suspension is currently stock.

cool wheels
id say when you lower your car that will camber in, you might need to roll the lip out of the arch

Wider tyres

You want 18x9 et20 ideally for the front and the rear will fit fine. I run mine quite low with 225/40 on the front wheels an 255/35 on the rear no rubbing with the rear arches rolled flat and a light roll on the front. Even with a 255 the lip sticks out a little on my 10's. Will be getting some 285's on there soon though so should solve that

Yeah, you're going to need to roll the back (No real need for a pull), and get the camber adjusted. You might as well run it like that till you get your suspension sorted (coilovers and arms).

Hi, just playing it safe and making sure I get the order 100%.

I'm going to be buying Work Meister S1 3P wheels in the following sizes;

Front 18x8.5 +35 (L Disk) Will this Disk clear KSport 6 pot calipers?
Rear 18x9.5 +37 (O Disk)

I know the sizes are weak but Iv had enough of destroyed arches and worn tyres so I want to play it safe.

-Are these the best sizes I can go without much drama?
-If not, what is the biggest size I can go without going way out beyond the arches?

I have all arches rolled and the rears slightly pulled. I also have full Driftworks suspension with HSD coilovers

Thanks

25mm spacers on the front and 20mm on the rear
id say theres about an inch gap on my front brakes

Does that mean you effectively have 18x8.5 +10 and 18x9.5 +17 with the spacers on?

And what brake setup do you have?

Cheers

 

[paddyb01]

Yeah mate that would be the off set with the spacers add I was really looking for +18 all round but nothing was for sale at the time.
I've standard brakes theres pic in my project if that helps

 

[Scotty-bod]

Sorry they're a bit dirty.

These are 18" x 10" et20 with 245/35/18 tyre.
I have managed to fit them by just a little bit of arch rolling and only 2 (ish) degrees of negative camber, so very little really.

 

[S15Cro]

Well I have ordered my wheels and my bank balance is empty

But I couldn't resist more aggressive offsets so i'v gone for these;

Front 18x8.5 +29
Rear 18x9.5 +24

My car will look exactly like this with the wheels wrapped in some 225/40/18s or so and some camber dialled in

Now just have to wait 4 months

Cool what disk ripe did you get

 

[S15Cro]

Cool what disk type did you get

Went for A Disk (Standard) up front as I'v decide to hold out on the big brakes for now.
and O Disk on the rear for the most dish

Deadly did you buy new?

 

[S15Cro]

Yeah I did (my poor money) I had done a lot of searching for roughly the same offsets second hand but with no luck so bit the bullet and bought new!

Just stay away from gutters with that stretch!!!
