Right, could you fit a set of ET 40 and ET 45 wheels on a zed and if so anything needing to be done? or why they fill the arches or would i need spacers? just a question as seen some lovely alloys (not that id be getting them just yet) but would in interesting to see if they would need anything.

A ran 18" ET +45 (9" front and 10" rear) on mine without any problems, the 10" rear sat perfectly flush with stock arches whereas the fronts sat slightly deeper in the front wing but still perfectly useable.

 

 

Here's a pic of the rear

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not the best pic of the front as the wheel was slightly turned but it didn't look too bad and handling was spot on

 

 

hmm looks like mine already at the front, rears look tasty though.

 

was looking at these

think they would look fantastic on my car in bronze

Those rims are becoming pretty popular within the drift community at the moment

Well i certainly like the concave look on the zed. bit different to the usual deep lip.

You need to know the width, without it offset is meaningless, theres lots of calculators for this, but you can get a tape out and measure your hubface to arch and see how much room youve got, dont forget the lower arm and hicas joint can cause issues on the rear face.

What's the . 75 all about never seen that before normally 8 j or 9j also no centre bore mentioned in add not all jap cars run 66.1 .

why are things never straight forward lol

 

Though, nothing a message to them couldn't sort out i suppose.

they look good, drop them a message. nice to see something different like you said.

Offset is meaningless without width. For the record the stock wheels are about 40-45 offset.

Click the link :-) The widths are 8.75 and 9.75. I would go for 20mm spacers up front for effective ET25 and 10mm spacers on the rear (ET35). Your best bet is to base it on your current wheel fitment and use this website:

If you're happy with the fitment of your current wheels, play around with the new offset until the outside edge stays 'the same' then you can work out what size spacer you require. Otherwise make it retract or extend into the arch to get your desired look.
