Im sitting on RB lowering springs, and with the 195's I have ZERO fitment issues. No rubbing on front fenders or spring seat/strut, and rears have no problems either. I did roll my rear wheel wells but I found later that at the ride height Im at it was not necessary, maybe if I was about 1 inch lower. But again, this is running a lightly stretched 195. 205's may, and definitely 225's will require a bit of work

I only have 1 pic of them on the car, and the pic doesnt really do justice or give a good feel about how the car sits or how the wheels fit, but heres the one I have. I will be able to take more in a week or 2 when the car is back on the ground (its up on stands now getting an overhaul of the fuel system and rear axle)

 

Hey thanks for the reply! Thats good news, im thinking ill maybe get away with the 205/50/15's with a guard roll then. Can you post some pics sometime?

The wheels iv got fit perfect, they're 15x7.5 3pc, 2.5 outer/5"inner, or +23mm simmons v4 w 205/50/15 dunlop z1 star spec. they look great but bit common over here and its time for a change, ay!
Having trouble posting pics tho, dont know how to reduce the resolution or whatever. my avatar is all iv got atm, lol.

EDIT; sorry, i see you HAVE posted a pic, must have still been loading! Looks bloody good!

 

Why would you roll the fenders when using a 205? What offset were these wheels? I run a +10 all around, 15x8's, 195/50 on front and 215/50 rear and no rubbing anywhere....except the road surface when i drop the clutch under boost..

 

Ok, well im not sure of the differences between the aus delivered and the US cars but mine is a series 3 ('85) which has the 4x114.3 stud pattern and requires less offset in the wheels than the series 1 and 2 cars which have the 4x 100 axles and hubs.

All im sayin, on my car if i use a 15mm spacer on the back, the guards actually sit on the tyre, but a guard roll and a lift would probably make it work. The wheels are 7.5" +23et with 205 tyres, Effectively a +8 with the spacer.

The fronts already run 15mm spacers to get around the c/o's and compensate for neg camber, so they might be ok with +10's.

 

Rotorican, have you got pics? that thing must look tuff with those wheel size! Mines an 85 too, i believe the same axles and hubs as yours.
Mines turbo too- good fun!

 

These came with my '81 when I got it. I think they're off an old Datsun or Nissan.

 

I would like to know where did you get you side markers..

 

Antique Westerns

 

that are the same wheels i'm thinking about and i don't want to alter the wheel arches just to fit the wheels so i'll be looking forward to the fitment pictures

 

I got 16x8 under my sa22c with no problem. It's all about the offset. Lets see 20mm offset is what I got. Needed 5mm spacers in front and using 10mm spacers in the back since I'm running 225/35 front and 255/35 rear

 

It means that with the use of spacers that you have an ET 25 in the front and a 30 in the rear
I'm thinking of a 15x7.5 or 8 with 205 tires so it must be an easy fit

 

you got it backwards man,. it is 15 front and 10 in the rear i forget if it is negative or positive but I do know that adding 10mm spacer makes the number get closer to zero on my application. I do however have a rubbing problem in the front which is better when dropped all the way down on the race coilovers. the inside rubbing is fine since there really is never a need for full lock inward anyway. However the outside rubbing was solved by shaving the fender flares about 5mm or so. I do get a nice chirp when trying to parallel park when the tire hits the sway bar, lol.

 

You're right about the et, my bad

 

Im running 15 x 7.5 +23 and 205's all round on my aus s3 and they fit perfectly- no rubbing, no mods- until i put the coilovers in, now running 15mm spacer up front to bring it back to where it was.

[edit] I worked out that id need around a +15 for 8" rims without raising the car or running narrower tyres. The 8" Shakotans only come in 0 or +10 so iv scrapped that idea.

 

Just bought these!
13x5.5 unknown offset.

 

Forgot to say that they are Enkei Apache V's in 4x110 bolt pattern.
They're not 3 piece wheels but one piece, not sure why.

 

Vintage ET's 13x5.5 on a GSL-SE

 

Ansen Sprints with slicks from the 70's. These are 13x4 110mm. I think the back are 10" wide and front 7" wide. These came from an RX-3 drag car.

 

lol wouldnt call these the hottest. but they are pretty rare now i belive
old appliance wheels! rotolug **** haha


was on a car my dad picked up several years back with a bad engine, it even had a 5th wheel brand new in the box! real weird flat wheel but has this wire basket thing u put on it

 

Dude! Perfect Stance... Someone got it right!

 

Yeah, too bad I couldn`t keep it that low. Couldn`t even get it back into the shop because the exhaust was catching on the lip of the entry. Going to drop the nose back down a touch though.

 

Not that rare here, but ...... pretty shiney!

 

15x6.5(?) 4x110 Dyna-Lite




13x5.5 4x110 Enkie Apache V

 

Forgot all about this thread.

That old crappy set of rims I bought are all brand new.
