Who's running 17x9 all round?

^ good shout. ^ completely forgot about that.

As said, 7.5 / 8 j with an et around 45 will fit lovely. Cheaper on tyres too

Mine on 7.5j et 45. For an idea

Nice mate, that is one of the sizes that flat black rota grids are available in tho with a smaller 7.5 compared to 8.5 and up you don't get a aggressive concave face.

When it comes to adjusting camber to get wheels to fit do I have to get myself a set of adjustable camber arms?

Good old Tom @ TGM fitted them.

Just to revive an old thread.

I am looking to go down the 17x9 route as my car has become a weekend toy/occasional track car.

What wheels have people been running for their 17x9 set up? I've got a budget of around a grand for wheels. I want to try and avoid cheaper wheels like Rotas if I can. The Enkei set up has been done a few times too so want to avoid this too.

Anyone fancy selling me some Bronze CE28n 17x9's with an at of around 45? :xgrin:

With that budget you should be able to get a good set of Rays!!

I'd advise against 9J all round, go for 8/9J front and 7/8J rear. Perfect set of rear wheels here

I just really like the look of the square stance and I'm sure ill notice the added grip? I would settle for 9's on the front and 8's on the back.

I really want a set of bronze rays, but really don't fancy forking out 2.5k for a new set :xdisguest:

It does look cool, but unless your geometry is setup for the wheel/tyre setup then I think you'd be changing the handle to be more biased to understeer - having the smaller wheel/tyre at the back will help with rotation.

Currently I have 8/7J F/R and I wouldn't go any more other than increasing the fronts to 9J for track only, but ofc go for what you want

Price wise I think you'd be lucky to get a set of Rays for £1,000 in the spec you want. There is a set of 7J's going for £1,500 on here.

Yep 9J square setup here:

9J front and 8.5 rear. On the rear +42 and a 215 tyre with a stretch I just get away with no running. But I used a a different tyre with a stiffer sidewall briefly and it rubbed so that shows you how close to the arches a 8.5 on the rear is

The plan is to use it mostly for track and I intend to go with 245's teamed with a decent amount of camber to make them fit lol. I am currently running 8j front and rear too and its great, I just want that more aggressive look which will also help perform on track.

Yeah I don't think I'd get a set for around a £1000 . Sad times.

I was having a read of your thread earlier Dan. Car looks great. Wouldn't mind a set of work cr kai's.

Wide rear tyres need a stiffer rear end as they generate too much grip.

Ive ran 255 square and 245 square in the past. Now running 225 rear 245 front ad08r. Will go back to a 255 after these 245

Well I was looking to fit stiffer rear springs and get a thicker arb.

Would you recommend a 9j with 8j set up?

 

[sabina c]

what are people running with wider wing/fender?

Would it not be better to stick with 9j all round, just use a 255 tyre up front and 225 tyre on rear?

Would that not achieve the same thing? The point in the wider wheels means you can run wider tyres, so if I get 8j on the back with 225 on the rears it would be the same but without the tyre being stretched

Yes it would. I was just thinking it would be easier to buy the same size wheels
