Mitchell Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 As above will i have any problems with stretch or rubbing ?cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gilly Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) You will have trouble with rubbing theres no doubt about that unfortunately. I currently use 195 45 15s on 15x7.5s with an et10 and its scuffed quite abit on the side walls, I have had to cut the inner arch away so it gives more clearence because it was like a knife into my tyres. The main problem was the rear but i don't have coilovers so thats another factor. Edited February 9, 2015 by Gilly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mitchell Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 What about rolling the archers, wont that solve it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 What about rolling the archers, wont that solve it? You're probably not going to get away with just rolling the arches with 8j et0. You're going to need to flare the arches a fair bit too, and as above, maybe cut out the inner arch. A lot of work but i think they look awesome with low offset wheels! Mine are 15x8 et17 and they rubbed like hell- had to lift it by about 15mm on the back and put 185 tyres on them so the tread was in the arch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

funny onion Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I wouldn't advise doing it yourself- there are companies (like arch enemy) who might be able to advise.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mitchell Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 I wouldn't advise doing it yourself- there are companies (like arch enemy) who might be able to advise....Hmmm seems like a lot of hassle, i might just go for the 7j et20, is there as much work involved with these? An is the offset right? Sorry for all the questions i just dont wanna buy summet an not be able to fit them , thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 well like i say mine are 8 inch wide and et17 and i had to lift the ride height a bit and put 185 tyres on but other than that no hassle at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
asbo-v Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Mine never rubbed and had 9j,s why et0 must not have correct suspension set ups I say don't do it really unless it's a trailer queen ruins the drive of the car and obviously your stretching the tyre to on 195 no good It really for drift cars that sort of set up Quote Link to post Share on other sites

asbo-v Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 And you'll get tugged by the rozzers too Sticks out too far and arc roll won't do much As arch enemy told me do brought my self some jdm Arches to compensate the 50 mm stick outCheck my profile pics Quote Link to post Share on other sites
asbo-v Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Don't know how too ?Check my profile pic might get an idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites

funny onion Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Yeah my tyres are 185 55 15's, i didn't want to run too low a profile and weaken the sidewall too much. my tread sits just in the arch. You can't even tell mine are stretched at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azz Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I use 175/50 on my 15*8 et0 did actually go 165 for a time as well but that's show only Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kyle_R Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) To give you the best idea this is a ET0 8.25j 16" wheel with a 195 50 16 tyre they just won't fit. And from the front! Edited February 9, 2015 by Kyle_R Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kyle_R Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) The only way I got them to fit mate was max camber on the fronts nothing I could do on the rears. and they still rubbed really bad!!! in the end I took them off and sold them. I heard they fit a glanza better but now I run 16x8s again but with a offset ET. ET12 ET23 but ET0 is far to aggressive for a little starlet imo but was worth a try! Just didn't work out Edited February 9, 2015 by Kyle_R Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 That wouldnt be true. A gt axle is 20mm narrower then a glanza Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mitchell Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 So if i was to go for 7inch what would be a better offset, 0 or 20? As theyre my only two options on the grid v Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kyle_R Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 That wouldnt be true. A gt axle is 20mm narrower then a glanzaits only what I heard and arch depth is larger than on a gt apparently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kyle_R Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 So if i was to go for 7inch what would be a better offset, 0 or 20? As theyre my only two options on the grid v you can run a 8 mate but get et20 then use a spacer to suit the fitment you want. eg: et20 plus a 5mm spacer is corrected to et15 if that helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
