Ok been looking at some wheels

 

17">18"

can the same sized wheel be used on Front and Rear ?

and does any one know what the Rear and Front off Set it

 

i do know the Stud is 114x5 but the other not sure

 

Thanks

I have 18" x 8.5 front and 9.5 rear and +35 offset, with no issues.

Yes the same size wheels can be used front and rear but staggered wheels look better.

so to make it look better i can use Spacers on the rear ?

I have 9.5" front and rear with +20 offset. Fronts were no problem, rear arches just needed the lip rolling up inside so I could lower. Can provide pics if needed.

Yes, you could use hub centric spacers.

Lets see :) Would be nice to see how square fitment sits when not done to the extreme. I'm MASSIVELY struggling over the 17/18" debate right now as wheel design, car colour, car kit, amount lowered and tyre sizes are all factors on how the wheels will look. 18's on some z's jut look silly big, but 17's on z's look silly small :sad:

Just to let you know they are 5x114.3 not 114

Here we go, remembered to go outside and take some pictures today.

 

The wheels are 18" Rota Grid, 9.5" wide with an offset of +20 front and rear.

 

Front tyres are Falken 452 in 255/35/18 and the Rear are 265/35/18.

 

Sitting on MeisterR coilovers.

 

 

 

 

 

There is no rubbing on the front arch liners lock to lock.

 

Last picture shows the standard rear arms adjusted to their maximum negative camber.

As I mentioned in a previous post, the tyres would rub the lips on the inside of the rear arches before I rolled them up inside. Nothing about the front has had any modfication or adjustment.

Thats a hell of an offset on 9.5's, looks great :)

nice stance Murmur and nice zed:thumbup:

nice ...

 

so just need to find some decent wheels ..

ok the wheels i have in mind are ...

 

ET 40 8J 5 spoke like the ones above pic ..

ET 37 8J 12 Spoke multi

 

my tyre man says i can fit 225front and 235rear ?

you can go up to 245 on the rear. one size down on profile from 225 fronts.

mine will be 245/40 18 (front) 275 35 18 at the back

ET 40 8J 5 spoke like the ones above pic ..

ET 37 8J 12 Spoke multi

 

Any pics of these we can look at, or a link to manufacturer website?

 

Mine are actually 6 spoke, but the pics don't show that very well. They're basically Rota copies of Rays TE-37's without the TE-37 price tag.

Lets see :)18's on some z's jut look silly big, but 17's on z's look silly small :sad:

 

Mine are 17's and I would never say they look small but it is a SWB, with the correct wheels, drop and spacers they can look just as good.

Many are running with 17's so I would not dismiss if I was you :clap:

nope me neither, i went for 18's but would of went for a size down too!! mind you bare in mind the oem size too and some standard zeds look great!!

want to run 17 front 18 rear. Ideally some BBS LM's in gunmetal but not certain yet :D

Ok this wheel is Fox Racing FX004

there 17" j8 42et

 

Mine are

Front 16" 7.5j 45et

back 16" 8j 40et

 

so was thinking of putting 5mm spacers on the front to bring the ET back to normal

 

is it possible for some to do a photo shop on my car with it in Black/silver/red ..

 

or what u think would look best

 

and what tyre sizes would be best

 

Thanks

On 17x8" rims 225/45/17 front 245/40/17 rear tyres IMO.

I think your offsets and rim widths are going to make the wheels sit 2mm further in at the back, 9mm further out at the front over what you have.

I am still picking up the offset stuff, so unsure of how far you can come exactly, but I think you could have 25mm hubcentric spacers front and rear on those and they would sit pretty sweet, but check with someone who knows for sure first !

Hopefully someone will be able to confirm, or correct, me :)

Can't remember who this belongs to, but it looks like 17's to me.

 

it's Zogg's zed ;)

acording to this site

 

if i use this wheel on front ( no spacer ) i will have 3mm less inner clearance but will be 9mm out ( closer to Wing Rim )

 

if i use this wheel on Rear i will have 2mm less inner clearance and 2mm inn from the wing rim ...

 

would this be ok ?
