I think it's time for new wheels, just wanted to check my measurements before I get them.

 

Possibly a bit of an unusual choice for a zed, but lkperformance list 18" 3SDM 0.05s in 114.3 so I might give them a shot, I love their retro look and think they'll look awesome, remind me of Modenas which I like on zeds

 

 

Offsets are +42 for 8.5" and +40 for 9.5" so I believe the conventional wisdom is I'll want 20mm spacers for the front and 5mm for the rear with those to give me +22 front and +35 rear? Or would I need to roll my arches for that? I'm running on Tein lowering springs which I think are a 35mm drop at the front and 21mm at the back. I'd love to run 9.5" all round as I think they look better but I just don't think they'll fit with a tyre wide enough to give them a decent amount of protection :sad:

 

I'm assuming I should be looking at 245/35 for the front and 265/35 for the rear? Will that protect the rims enough? I suppose 255s might fit the front, but for the rears 275s don't appear to exist and 285 must be too much...

No one? :sad:

You're correct in what you say. You may have to drop a profile to get a 275 on the rear which would be my preferred choice.

They're cheap:thumbup1:

Ok great, thanks.

 

Blimey they are cheap, thanks for that, think I might go for them. Do you think I should try 255 on the front or is that pushing it?
