I've seen 17x10 +35s fitting on the back with stock suspension. (255/40s) how easily is this going to rub? and if I rolled the fenders and put on coil-overs would 275/40s fit?

 

the 275's fit easily with a light fender lip roll, depending on how low youre car is setup and how much it compresses under launch... the wheels like to move forward under launches and eat fender at about 11 o'clock looking at the rear driver fender from the driver side of the car and vice versa for the pass. side.

255 will fit amazingly well with their lower O.D. and stretched fit on a 10" wheel.

you could probably run a 255 on a 10" +25 with rolled fenders and be fine.

 

17x9 35+ front and rear with Tein springs, what tires should work? Thanks!

 

I would go 225/45, front, 255/40 rear

you might be able to fit a 235 on the front. but it might rub.

 

So a 17x9 35+ will fit? Will a 235/40/17 or 225/40/17 fit on a 9" wheel

 

ok so now looks like ima pick up 50mm wide body, cause cant pass up on this deal, what kind of sized we lookin at now??

and yes i will be stretching tires


thanks

 

No a 17x9 +35 won't fit, with that offset an 8" wheel barely fits in front, and then those springs give even less room than stock. You're not going to be able to fit a 9" wheel unless you run really small tires and a much lower offset.

9" wheel will be hard to fit. you'll need spacers and probably wider fenders

235 will fit, 225 is going to be a stretch, it might not, I wouldn't recommend 17x9s just go with x8s

 

I wish they offered an 8" wheel. Sportmax 962's I know they are cheap and heavy but for a daily driver they look darn good! Any ideas on a comparable wheel?

 

will 17x8+35(front) and 17x9+40(rear) fit on my 87 rx?

 

thats with 225 45 r 17 on front and 255 45 r 17 on rear.

enkei RPM2 hyper black

 

It should, but it'll be close on the inside in both cases. It'll depends on your springs in front, if you've got Tanabe or Tein then probably no. Be prepared to run a small spacer.

 

9's fit fine in the front with a 235, with ~ +24 offset. maybe plus or minus a few mm.

or lower offset with a smaller tire.

 

18 x 11 -7 for 50mm widebody??

 

thanks man

 

It's gonna get kinda tight up front.
I know these wheels.
The 13" in back is going to stick out a LOT.

its that size forr rear, 50 mm rear wide body, and 25 or 30 up front i want the dmax d1 front wide fenders if i can find them

 

Ok, I just want an opinion before I order these wheels.

17x8 35+ w/ 225/45/17
17x9 35+ w/ 255/40/17

My car is lowered with Tein springs, will this work and fit well? Thanks

 

Probably not in the front, those springs have less clearance than stock, and that'd be very tight with stock springs, so a spacer will probably be needed.

Read the link people!

 

As much as I'd love to wade through 95 pages, I'm just going to cut to the chase.

Kosei K1 TS front/back
17x8 +35 w/ 245/45/17 V710s
17x9 +35 w/275/40/17 V710s

What size spacer is needed up front to clear the stock suspension?
Any fitment problems in the back?

Thanks.

 

Not going to fit under stock fenders in front, that's for sure. That much tire with a stock suspension is asking for trouble, you really should stiffen it up a lot to deal with that much grip potential, and without being able to control the body motion you're going to be throwing away grip as the tire edges lift off the ground.

Also, those tires are a bunch taller than stock, making the problem of fitting them under the fenders even harder.

You'll need probably a 10-15mm spacer in front, and some seriously rolled or widebody fenders.

I'm not sure about the back, but 275's are iffy, you'll probably need a bit of spacer and a fender roll.

BTW, the K1 TS is known to crack under hard use, might I suggest something like the Enkei RPF1 instead, strong, light and available in the exact same sizes.

 

Anyone ever run a 5x112 wheel on a 5x114 pattern?

 

Very, very, very bad idea, don't do it.

 

NO.

you can get spacer adapters, or have them drilled out. I would def. do the adapters instead.
