Both of them have 215/45 R17 (all XL apart from the rears of the Rays) tyres fitted and lowered on MiesterR coilovers. Can't comment on how many mm's I've dropped it by because I'm not sure! lol.
Did you end up getting the 9j‘s on? I was thinking of running 8.5j to have a flush look but I don‘t want to run any spacers. Would you recommend a +40?mike.williams said:assuming you still run the 8.5 +40 on the front which is the same as mine here with a 245/40
on the rear its a 7.5 et35 with a 215/45.
to make the 7.5 sit the same as the 8.5 +40 you would need to make the offset +28. if your going to fit 22mm spacers you will need more camber
in all honesty 7.5 +42 will be fine but all comes down to personal prefereance. i like aggressive wheel fitment hence im going to be running 9j +40 this year wish me luck
So if I‘m running the 8.5j +40 I‘ll be inset 1/4†or 6.3mm ish. Camber would be less than 3deg correct?SamDC5 said:
This looks great! Is the car lowered? What sort of camber you running?Slipstreams in 17x8 et48. 5mm spacers at front
Thanks! Lowered on coils. About 2.8 degrees of camber at front and 1.8 at the rears. 235/40 tyres
If you want to be quick around a track, wider tyres/rims is allmost allways better. Otherwise you can go with narrower for lighter steering and better mpg
You could run these specs but without spacers at the fronts and with a bit more camber or rolled arches in the back.
I don’t want roller arches and I’m confident that I don’t want more camber either tbh, it’s a road car not track car. May have to opt for the 7.5” wheels instead.You could run these specs but without spacers at the fronts and with a bit more camber or rolled arches in the back.
or 17x8 with 215 tyres if you likea tiny bit of sidewall stretch
18x9.5 +35 what tyre should i use ? and need any modification ..OK guys with the recent interest in wheel sizes and several threads and pm's to me asking what will fit with blah blah offset and width, i thought we had better start a reference thread.
I will update the first post with the info you post to form a list,
Please post only a pic of your car that shows the wheel fit and list the wheel size, tyre size, wheel make and model, tyre make and size and if it does or doesnt fit with a simple comment ,it will be heavily moderated to keep it simple and imformative.
for example your post should be-
17x7.5 et45 Rota SDX with 215x45 Toyo R888 - fit fine no rubbing at all

OR.
18x10.5 et10 Volk racing ce28 with 325x40 Toyo T1r- wont fit under rear stick out and rub everywhere.

OK.
The list, I'll start-
17x8 et38 Enkei evo8 with 210x620 dunlop slick- fit ok but require race geo or negative camber
17x8 et38 Enkei evo8 with 215x45 Toyo R888- wont fit on rear without serious negative camber
17x7.5 et45 Rota SDX with 215x45 Toyo R888- close on rear but fit with fast road setup
18x7.5 et45 Kei Racing RSS with 215x40 Toyo T1R- fit fine all round
17x7 ET45 CTR Alloys with RE070 225/45/17 tyres. Clear Brembos and fit no problem without rubs on car lowered 10mm.
Sounds ambitious, lol. I imagine the camber would have to be ridiculous to tuck the wheel in under the arch but what do I know! Good luck.
