Matt1878 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Looking at some new wheels in the future....What would be required for 15" 8.25J ET0 to fit?The car is lowered around 40-45mm currently.. What tyre size/profile would be best with minimal or if possible no stretching ..Cheers guys Quote
Beastmode panda Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 You could do it on some hard suspension coilovers, but it'd look shit. You'll never be able to get the camber right to pull it off on a starlet, even if you have your arches rolled. Maybe some big ass wide arch kit then they might fit lol. But i wouldn't bother trying to stance a starlet, i've seen a couple and they look terrible, simply cause you're so limited. IMO, of course. Quote
Matt1878 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 the wheels are very similar to those on the Japanese Glanza thread Corey started... They look mega on that ..Just unsure how much work is needed... I'm not into all that dub/stance bull... Quote
Beastmode panda Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Yeah. 8.25 is quiteeee a lot, i'm guessing it's the xxr 527's as they're the only wheel i know that come in 8.25 lol. why not go for the 7j or 7.5j (cant remember) ones? Quote
Matt1878 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 Indeed I might have to do that ... Would they fit better? Even with ET0? Quote
Beastmode panda Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Thought so ;), awsome wheels they are! Yeah that will work i should imagine dude, just get your arched rolled proper and nicely. Get all those tabs out of the way and you should be ok. My volks are 15x7, unsure of et but im running 205/55 r888's and they DID rub on the fronts untill i rolled the front arches. The rears clear comfortably JUST! Quote
Matt1878 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 Comfortably, JUST - now I like that haha!I found them for around £400 in the size 8.25 but can't find them in 7j anywhere... No prices on the XXR site Quote
Beastmode panda Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Hahaha . Sheesh that's a good price man! Hm, i'll try have a look too for you dude. Quote
Matt1878 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 I found some at 16" 7 ET25... There the XXR 522, mega hot! They should be a straight fit shouldn't they?Or do I still need rolling? Quote
Beastmode panda Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 SHOULD be ok, but tricky to judge! If you run the right tyre they should be alright man. Maybe you would have to think about getting the fronts done due to the weight of the engine crashing down every time you go over a bump. Have you got coilies? As they would stop the car from sinking more when you hit a bump. Quote
Matt1878 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 Nope.. Standard setup other than some tein lowering springs at 40-45mm.. I ran rota GT3 16" 7J ET40 with 195/45/16 tyres..They were well clear really Quote
Simon Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 16x7 ET25 will require an are roll with coilovers and panhard rod.I ran 16x7 ET30 with 195/45/16 and they needed an arch roll. Quote
Beastmode panda Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Sweet man! Well why not get the wheels and tyres you want first, trial fit them, then get the arches done if needs be! . Quote
Matt1878 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 Ah shit ... I definitely can't afford coilovers yet! :/ ... Would love these to fit too Quote
Simon Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Depends on how stiff your springs are really Matt they might be ok with them Quote
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Anything above 15x7 et 20 will need arch work put it that way! Not an easy route to go lol Quote
Matt1878 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Hmm.. Might have to see if they do them in 15" 7 ET30 ... even 15" 7J ET25 ? That should be alright yeah? Edited January 21, 2013 by Matt1878 Quote
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Yes mate even mine catches the arches when its lowered ( my arches have not been rolled ) Quote
