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.

Thanks for answering the questions , the reason for asking them was is because , the ones i want are similar just 5 instead of you 6 spoke and are black like in the 1st post.

 

 

You said you have offset et20 but i should be able to do 30 all round.

 

Plus you would of got wider alloys if you knew, but i think they dont come in any thing wider than 9.5 unless you get them custom made which costs a bomb.

 

any way thanks peeps.

 

p.s oh murmur just waiting on rest of those pics if you don't mind....thanks..lol

Many wheels exist in wider widths you can get a staggered set of 18x9.5 and 18x12 rota grids.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/wheels-tyres/alloy-wheels/auction-457228636.htm could ship a set over if u cant get em there.

I just double checked..... your right they do come in a wider width of 10" on an 18 in wheel for the (GRID DRIFT).....but

 

for the ones im after.. staying with the concaved look the widest in 18"'s you can only have 9.5....

 

the ones you posted up are the gtr'D's which are deep dish with a Flat face.(diffrent)

 

If I'm right...thanks though!!

Yeah gtr'd has some differences wasn't sure if it would take ya fancy don't write off used wheels as theres many a good set of 2 and 3 piece kicking around for the same money as new wheels.

Is murmur gonna post more pics? :(

If you dont like the rota GTR-D with the flat face why not go with just the GTR?

That's what i posted i was getting all along mate ...hehe.......................Just waiting for murmur to post the last of his pics lol...i dont know if he checking this thread so i just have to wait for them.

 

i going to have to subscribe soon, it annoying not able to PM lol

 

just dont want to get this wrong lol

 

(they are the shoes of my Fairlady, you don't want to mess with the lady's shoes !!lol)l

 

im stupid

you worried about offsets? use that offset calculator linked up. pretty good i think, im after some GTR-D 9.5 front and 10.5 rear and that calculator has just made sure im gettin the right offsets with the right tyres ;)

I have used it gonna go for the same setting as murmur +20, dont want the wheel wearing unevenly the thing is i dont think that calculator compensates for deep concave-ness.

if it makes any difference?

concaveness of the alloy? if you mean by concaveness of the spokes, or the distance of centre of the alloy in comparison to the rim of the alloy? if those then no.

 

its the camber angle and toe angle which do this.....depends if your car is lowered. i think if its past 20mm you required adjustable camber arms as the tyres wear unevenly.

if it makes any difference?

 

Won't make a difference matey. Unless you go to 8.5" wide where the spokes will be alot less concave to allow room for the offset. Ultimately, the offset will govern how far in or out of the arch the wheel will sit, regardless of the design or amount of concave.

Cool i understand thanks joely p

I've got the gtr'd alloys with 9.5 on the front

Get some more pics up murmur its a good looking car

Can any one get in touch with murmur for the extra pics, cant subscribe to PM till next pay day. :(

Here we go, grabbed some while it was still light.

 

Hopefully these show what you're after.
