I am thinking about getting a set of these in white, the price here seems really good for these work wheels. Firstly what size 19s do I need with a big brake stoptech kit?.

 

Also has anyone dealt with this company before? and how much import duty do you think I would have to pay?.

Was quoted £2850 plus Vat over here so about £3250 plus shipping buying in the uk.

Do you mean what offset you mean :confused:

 

19" will fit easy over big brakes, I have 356mm all round and they fit easy with 19's and still plenty of room to go bigger :cool:

Have a look at the what size drop down on the page.. I have no idea what selection to make :rofl: there are about 20 options for the rims.

Nice wheels mate, assuming your not going wide arch? then summit like 19x8.5 front offsett around 30ish, rears 19x9.5 offsett around 35-40.

 

Check in with Funkysi, that man knows his wheels though ;)

if your thinking of going for big brakes i would seriously consider hi-spec as they completely custom make the brakes for your exact wheels and car. they will cost no more than the stop tech kit and thats including fitting. visit their site mate http://www.hispecmotorsport.co.uk

bbs lm iirc... i know a set for sale (think they are not sold yet)

if its the wheel size then you can fit 17's for 356mm brakes so depends on what look your after?

I think my big brake kit is so big it will only take 19s

 

it all depends on what rims you go for, most volk rims take massive brakes, alot of the skyline guys who track their cars use 17" te37's as they clear 356mm brakes and some of the new r35 owners have put volk 18" rims on as they will fit over the 380mm brakes :)

What size discs will you be using 400mm?? Then you will 100% need 19's.

 

The main problem is knowing what wheel design will clear the caliper. My style of alloy have loads of clearance but im not sure on the offset?

As mike said 18's will do just fine with that size.

 

I have 19's but its for show and not for the track. Also you get better handleing with 18's

 

You can also squeese them under 17's but there is only a select few

Just spoke to the guy and he said they might not be wide enough on the back?

Yeah they should fit

Hope this helps??

Do you have the brakes with you ????

 

Ask him to measure them ;)

He said the brake calipers should fit, but he said the wheels are only nine inches wide or something so I might something wider on the back of the zed?.

 

Im sorry guys I really dont have a clue when it comes to wheels, is nine inches wide quite narrow or something?.

Not all mate. I take it your fitting a wide arch body kit or owt are yer?

 

Stock is 8in anyway.

What's important is the offsett being right to clear any big brake kit and give the ideal lok as well.

I can't see yer ebay link ( work PC) what size wheels were they?
