Wheel Offsets - the "will this wheel fit" thread

[Badger]

Tyres would be way too big

 

[NuffNuff]

i have some 235 i could stretch onto the 9", much work needed on a FL?

@steveP would be the man to ask, he has this setup

Price seems fair.

First you'll need to bore the centre of the wheels out to fit a Mitsubishi hub. Most wheel places can do this for about $50 a wheel.

The facelift flares will need to be removed to roll the inner guard and then trim the lip off the flares. Not as big of a job as you might think. The flares come off pretty easily.

255/34 tyres; forget about it. I'm running 235/40s and that's the maximum width you can go without looking off road and smashing your guards. I previously had 225/40s on and they fit much easier. There isn't a lot of stretch with a 235/40 and is the best tyre option for the wheels in terms of keeping the rolling diametre with the stock wheel. IMO 255/35 would look stupid on a 9" rim.

hey guys,
I know this sounds stupid but I found these old school tri spokes on gumtree from a supra. he says they are 17x10.5. do you think I could fit these with some mods.

 

[Nitephyre]

Negative.

 

[Dice]

Negative camber you say?

 

[steve1979]

Camber, roll and pump gards or over fenders? Just like the idea of something so fat and oldschool on pfl.

 

[Dice]

I was only kidding. It will stick out very far. The amount of pump you need on the guards will crack the paint. Offset is important too but basically, if they're a suitable offset the best case scenario with a lot of guard work and super low, it will still be a bit mexican.

New thread merged into existing massive, sticky offset thread.

10.5" lolno

 

[PandaLeggy]

Orderd some 18 8.5 +35
Now do i want 225 40 or 235 40? Is the stretch with the 225 anything to worry about? And will the 235 leave me enough room? Cheers

 

[AKKO]

How low is your leggy...or how low do you want it?

 

[PandaLeggy]

I have about an inch of wheel gap, and im fine with that (crazy steep driveway ). Have coilovers too

 

[REI600]

SO... If i am reading this correctly, and i think i am.... We shall see

A wheel with the dimensions of 18x9 @ +30/35 would sit ok with a set of 235/40s??

The car is lowered and has Tien coils.

I am ok with rolling the guard a touch if i need to but, i'd rather not.

Will need to roll your guards mate

 

[REI600]

So, going back inside the guard might assist in NOT having to roll guards?

The issue is... does it look dicky having a lot of gap?

I think a drip to the panel beaters is worth a better fitment.

Anyone out there with a pair of 18x9s with +25/30 offset??
