Widest Wheels

[Guest]

Hi guys,

I am new to the forum and picked up a 96 Legnum. I was wondering what is the widest width allowable on the Legnums before rubbing?

I'm currently looking at a set of 17 x 9 +35 offset will this work?

Thank you much!

John

Welcome to the forum.

Probably depends a bit on what tyres you run, but 9s will usually rub on the inside.

A Legnum is a very rare thing in the States. Great to have you with us

Hi mate,

Have a read through THIS thread.... I'm pretty sure its linked in the Index too so you should've had a look there first as per the rules haha

Pretty sure with some guard rolling you'll get them on but it'll be tight!

And do an intro thread with some pics of your car! Its pics or ban around here you know hehe

*EDIT - Chef is right with the tyres too, i think you'll only get away with STREEEEEEEETCHED 225's

Hey guys thanks! I looked through the post, but might have missed it. I did read on Club VR4 that guys are running 17 x 8.5 with a 35 offset. I'll wing it and see how she feels.

I'll post up a intro in the new section

9 +35 will be fine. 3mm further out than mine. Easy as

You will need a roll all 'round if the car is low.

Welcome aboard.

I've got 17x9.5" 35mm offset with 235/45/17 tyres. No problems once the guards were rolled.

Yes, but the tires are coming off I wanted to test fit the wheels to see if they look okay. I was going to pick up a set of Work Emotion Kai or Model 5's and he said he had a set of Model 5 look a likes lying around.

Here's a pic down the side.

I have a set of factory flares, side skirts and facelift bumper so it hopefully it will take up the amount that is sticking out.

Size is 18 x 9 35mm

Just so you know the rear wheel arch flares won't line up with the rear bumper properly. Have a close look at some facelift cars, they have a little flare on the corner there.

Jeez, I'm blushing here!

As has already been said, they'll fit great with lowering introducing a bit of camber.
