whitestar Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Looking for a set of 16x7.5 front and 16x9 back. I know that it depends on the offset, but I'd just like to know is this even possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lew777 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 hard to say without knowing the offset mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simon Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I think you would struggle to do this for any real benifit as you would really only be doing this for looks which i would guess would mean a low offset wheel. Considering most people struggle with an 8J ET10 a 9J wheel would have to be ET20-35 and will still need quite a bit of work and will always be a compromise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Simon think about itA 9j at a reasonable offset it going to hit caliper, spring and probably bumper mounts pointsA general rule for the starlets6-7 you'll be ok7 depends in the offset and tyre choice (probably arch work)8 will require stretch and arch work (probably extended arches)9s probably not gonna helm without serious work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitestar Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Yeah, guesed that it might be quite impossible job to do. Found great calculator for offset:http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.aspThat gives an idea how much more space the new wheels is going to need.Thanks for the replies!
