Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

[BorHor]

Do you remember how much camber you were running with this setup?

Not much camber at all. It was pretty much as positive as I can get it while keeping the toe at 0* If I had to guess it would have been around -2* all around

Will 18x10.5 front and 18x12 rear will fit?

I am sure you know the answer to that one

 

[jdmstar69]

one have a pic of how a 19x10 +13 would fit on the rear?

It will be close to when i had 18x10.5+15 but be about 1/4" in more. let me pull up a pic

 

[jdmstar69]

Do you know what the offset and width of the wheels in front are? Also what size tire is that in the rear?

 

[Sam]

16x8 -10 F 205/50/R16
16x9 +0 R 225/50/R16

More pictures to come later with 205/55/R16 up front to get rid of the rake and more lowerage once I get the wheels repaired/refinished

Oh sweet jesus! I was looking for a set of Conquest/Starion wheels, but to no avail. They look amazing!

^ fricken amazing set up !

Of course I know. :biglaugh:

18x9.5 +15 in front. I had 245/40/18 tires all around. But because I was running RE01R's in front it seemed much larger then the Falken ZE 512 in the rear.

yeah, I ended up using the widths and offsets you had with your FN01's including tires as a baseline for my Advans.. only I used Falkens, and they sure do run narrow (at least the FK452's do).

the 8.5" has a 225, and that doesn't seem to be all that out of place.

on the other hand, the 9.5" with the 245 is pretty stretched.. I think I should have used a 255 or 265 instead.

 

[BorHor]

^ yeah the FK452's do run a tad smaller then everyone else.

I think before I sold my FN's I was running a 255 out back that fit like a 265 I think.

 

[Dylan JZ]

that helps a lot.. I was thinking that a FK452-255 probably wouldn't be enough of a difference to justify changing. I'll look into the 265.

How was driving with that size in the front, any rubbing? Do you think you could have gone with wider tires?

No rubbing for hard or normal driving. The only time I experienced rubbing in front was when I was going in to my drive way which is pretty steep. Depending on what tire you go with you may be able to go up lager.

I was looking at the 18" XXR 521's. They look really nice but i was wondering if 18x10 +25 offset would fit in the back. The fronts are 8.5 +30 offset...which should fit fine. But would the back rub if i wanted to try and fit 255's? These wheels will be on till i can afford the ccw's.

Im aiming for about 575-600 whp so I want to make sure the car wont be spinning through third. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys

[BorHor]

If you are really worried about traction you should get wheels that can fit larger tires then limiting your self to these, which you are correct can probably fit a 255 with a good fender roll.

I originally wanted more power and i was going to do 17's in the back with 18's up front so i could fit M/t drag radials in the back...but now that im aiming for less im not sure if it would be worth it. I dont want to compromise handling, but if attaining grip would be that much of a problem with the numbers im aiming for then I might as well. If anyone is running about 575-600 whp and knows what hooks well the advice would be appreciated. Thanks

If I was making numbers like that I would be putting on AT THE LEAST 275's

Go as small as you want they will just be stretched and look funny with the high offset those wheels have. I believe stock in the rear is 255/40/17.
