Guidence request for Wheel Selection

[ygoslo]

They'd look good. I know a guy who was running these on his R32 and it was a good looking car. I considered them for a while, but ruled them out as I decided I wanted the option of running 235s and needed 9" minimum.

Note that they look better with the lip colour-matched to the wheels. Access Autoworks can do this for you.

Nice choice.

Do it

Hehe just re-read the offset thread. That was fun for a while. Some good lols in there.

EVO X wheels? Either style. They are both 18x8.5" 38mm offset.

Enkei's also make a wide range of wheels in 18x8.5" 35mm.

You wheel gurus are recommending replicas? What is the world coming to lol

 

[ygoslo]

We're sensitive to people's budgetary concerns.

Better a replica with good fitment than an original with shocking fitment.

As long as the replica doesn't fall apart when you hit a pothole, right?

Whats the quality of the wolf wheels like? 'Cause the S36 BML look perfect and sound like they have 1mm better fitment.

Also the Offset guide is what got me in trouble to start with.

Wolf are made by Work and are "a little pricey" - well that's what I was told by local tyre shop when I wanted some LOL So quality should be fine, just not sure on price.

Brock, you will need to get wheels and height adjustable coilovers at the same time to make 90% of these fitments work.

I would look at a set of EVO wheels with 225/45 tyres to get you out of trouble until you get some coilies. You should be able to get a set for around the 5-600 dollar mark.

This will get you around your brakes issue, give you less sidewall for a sharper handling ride, put some more rubber on the road and come close to your current budget

But a set of evo rims will actually sit 1.5mm closer on the inside?

Lol....

But they are the most appropriate wheels for Brock at this stage. Inner clearance will be fine Brock and they will also clear the Brembos if you take that path

 

[steveP]

bah i hate cars who put on other models factory parts purely for cosmetics. that, and i dont think theres an evo wheel that actually looks good. espcially the evo X wheels, duno what they were thinking there.

The wolf wheels don't come in a 18"x8.5" +30 only a +27. They would have been perfect.

 

[SLY-031]

+27 is only 3mm, you COULD get it to work, depending how adventurous you are.
