junaid_11 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Just wondering whether running 8j on my starlet would be too wide or not? Would I need to roll my arches, it's lowered on d2 coilovers atm about 40mm drop I think, what are you guysure running? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 which shape starlet? and it depends on the offset as much as the width really. I have 8J on my GT et17 and its on D2's, can't have it slammed as it does catch. 20mm wider livesports fenders on the front, panhard rod on the back. does scuff the rear over rough ground. that's with 195 45 tyres too.

If I were you I'd go for et20 for sure. et5 would look awesome but you'd struggle much more with fitment It's an EP91, yeah mines not really slammed tbh, but if it does rub I guess I can just raise the car, what inch wheels are you running? adjustable panhard rod is an absolute must though. they're 15's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Had 8j on my glanza. Drove like shit. Not a meant for big wide wheels and drove like it wasnt. Put a set of 7j lighter wheels and noticed a difference Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do they widen it by 20mm or is it just the same?Had 8j on my glanza. Drove like shit. Not a meant for big wide wheels and drove like it wasnt.

funny onion Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Cruise wings are wider but I don't know by how much. I quite like the way mine drive on 8J, but each to their own! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Pretty sure the cruise wings are 20mm too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
