Hi mate's

 

was wondering is it ok to have 9.5 width alloys at the front, the wheels i want only come con-caved at 9.5 width and i want the concaved look at the front as well,theres 2option i can cave

 

17" 9.5 front 18" 9.5 Back

 

or

 

18" 9.5 front 18 9.5 Back

 

 

 

can you share you experiences and what alloys you have at the moment with maybe be a picture link.

 

 

 

thanks.

Depends on offset too

9.5 fronts for the road will result in serious tracking issues. Be fine for the track but not so good on public roads methinks :) However on track with a rear wheel drive car it's preferable to have wider rears to help balance heat uptake between the front and rears.

The off set should be 30 (I think that should be OK)....could you explain why the tracking would be a problem? (would it keep getting knocked out or sum thing,or jut hard to track)?

hasnt jaffa got 9.5" up front. the only problem i could think of is the steering will be heavier and you will have to fight with it to get around bends.

Yes it did read a bit like that didn't it :) No what i mean is the front will ''track' road imperfections like white lines etc or a bit of camber.

My car does that lol!!

I'm running 9.5" Grids up front on a +20 offset on a 255/35/18.

 

Lowered 50-60mm, no tracking issues.

 

I have D2 356's behind them and you could fit your fist in the gap between the spoke an the caliper.

 

Pictures can be provided tomorrow if needed.

the white one has vordestein or whatever they're called, copies of volk TE-37

Phone camera makes everything look ugly.

I'd like to see these pics too, my fav design wheels.

Tasty! I thought the width with an offset that low would be an issue but the tyre stretch sorts that nicely. What you got on the back, pics? :tongue_smilie:

265's on the back

 

The arch lip needed flattening on the inside to make this work without eating the sidewall on bumps.

Thanks for the pics thats what im on about!!!! those pics look of the chain ...think im gonna order mine tomorrow.

 

Is your off set et30 at back and front ?

 

how much did you spend?

 

was you size of the hole 114 ?

 

did you get 9.5's at front and back?

 

some quick questions i need to be answered if there relevant lol

 

Thanks

 

P.s was wondering if you got pics of your full side of your car and 3/4 view plz

Is your off set et30 at back and front ?

et20 back and front.

 

how much did you spend?

Easily a grand including tyres. (Falken 452's)

 

was you size of the hole 114 ?

114.3mm or 4.5", it's a yank PCD

 

did you get 9.5's at front and back?

9.5's front and back, just different tyres

Afraid not, it doesn't get much spotlight.

 

Also fitting required spigot rings, though I'm unsure what size they were.

Were you not tempted to go for 10.5 on the back with a +35 (or so) offset?

Not really I just eyed everything up and guessed. I think i was quite lucky.

 

Knowing what I do now I'd get wider rears.

 

Next time around for the back I was thinking ~12" wide banded steels, zero offset and a 300+ tyre.

You did a good job, more pics needed! Is it a swb or lwb?

You do have to be careful as you have to bear in mind the upper arm on the zx hitting in the front. as with a very wide rim and the wrong offset you will either have the rim or tyre hit... with a 9.5 inch wide 18 you will need around a +15 to +20 offset...

 

This calculator is simple and will help you know what will work... also remember you have to clear the brake calipers so may need spacers if you go for the wrong shape wheel, regardless of offset.
