Can any of you wheel experts help me??

 

Im after this stance on my zed and will hopefully be buying some new wheels soon eith Rota GTR or Grids seem to be my fav at the moment.

 

I know it maybe a long shot but does anyone have an idea of what offset and size wheels i would need ex 8.5 fr and 9.5 rear.

 

Thanks Dan

You'll be having to do a LOT of arch work on your Z and expect an awful ride. Edgar's car is running 9.5" wide wheels @ +15 all round I think and the arches are pretty butchered.

Really :( Im going to get the arches rolled but nothing major whats the limit? Im after as wide as possible to gain as much grip.

 

Thanks

You don't want to sacrifice handling / comfort too much though. Your best bet is to go for 9.5" rear with a +30 offset (mild arch roll) and 8.5" front with a +15 and some light rolling/modification of arch liner. Lower that quite a bit and it'll give a very aggressive stance.

Thanks for the info just got to decide on wheel now. I want the deep dish look like above

Is that the style you're after? TBH, you'll struggle to find those exact offsets unless you get a 3 peice wheel manufacturer to custom make your offsets. You may get close to that, but to fulfill your requirement, you may end up having to use spacers.

I would like a deep dish set of rims simular to yours ive had this problem on wheel choice for over a year!

The problem is the split rims i like are way to pricey at the moment as ive got alot more to pay out to finish the build of the car.

If i went for splits i would want the real thing no 1 piece wannabe's.

 

I also like the Rota GTR/Grid style with the deep spokes which is the cheaper optsion at the moment.

 

The problem i have now with the width of 8.5 front / 9.5 rear is im not sure if ill get the deep spoke look with the Rota's

 

Heres a few ive been looking at and cheaper 1 piece fake splits.

Wheel number 3 rocks. The others are ok, but done to death.

What is wheel number 3 there? Quite like them all!
