Wheel Fitment

Post by ieuan-j »

Hi guys, looking for some advice on wheel fitment, I would like my rear wheels to be flush, and front slightly tucking, and wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction with width and ET's I would probably go for something like 8's-8.5's on the rear and 7.5's-8's on the front and 17's if that helps... Cheers, Ieuan.

Depends.

I'm running KW coilovers, no pertch in the back and cut-down bump stops. I run Enkei's in 8" with a spacer making the offset 37. This sits fairly agressively but not poking. The rear will rub over bumps, with passeners in the back or gear in the boot. Depends more on the tyre than rim IMO, I think a 35 offset with 205's should be ok, you could run a lower offset if you run 195's.

on 8", 35 is around right with 215's if you're lowered, you can go wider if you don't mind rubbing.
