slower82 Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 i was just wondering if anybody can help me? I'am looking to buy a new set of alloys for my ep91 and i need to know the wheel offset for this model :angry: Quote
Sparky Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Anything between ET35-40 37 or 38 would be best :angry: Quote
slower82 Posted March 3, 2008 Author Posted March 3, 2008 Anything between ET35-40 37 or 38 would be best :angry:do you know the biggest size alloy i can get on my starlet? i was told it was 17"x7.5 Quote
Nanglebadger Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 u can get 18s on there, but trust me, i had 17s on mine for about 4 or 5 months and it was HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!HORRIBLE!!! they just scrubbed! so they are sittin for sale in a shop in NI for £400 (a personal loss of £300 for a total usage of about 4-5months max!)16s at the very most, 15s are ideal. 17s can be done, but u'll need a panhard rod and loose the rear seats.Phil.

slower82 Posted March 3, 2008 Author Posted March 3, 2008 thanks, can you tell me what a panhard rod is :angry: if thats the case do you know if i could get 16"x8 on instead? Quote
muddyell Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Whats the deal with wanting the biggest alloys? :angry: most people try and go smaller if anything on a starlet personally i wouldnt go for anything over 15s Quote
slower82 Posted March 3, 2008 Author Posted March 3, 2008 i think 15s look to small man so i need to go abit bigger :angry: Quote
muddyell Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 No way!take a look at most peoples project diaries mate! most people dont have anything more than 15s! aslong as the car is lowered nicely then they look uber smart!I only have 14s on mine and i personally wouldnt say they look to small! If i could get the alloys i want next in 14s and not 15s then i would! :angry: Quote
Sparky Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 15s look good on a starlet but I have 16s...still undecided as wether to go back to 15s :angry:8" wide wheels will need wide arches and spacers Quote
slower82 Posted March 3, 2008 Author Posted March 3, 2008 the problem i have is that my starlet is being turned in to a track-day car so i need to have bigger alloys on to fit my racing brake kit, the brake calipers just won't fit on 15s :angry: Quote
slower82 Posted March 3, 2008 Author Posted March 3, 2008 15s look good on a starlet but I have 16s...still undecided as wether to go back to 15s :angry: 8" wide wheels will need wide arches and spacers do you know how many mm the spacers need to be? Quote
muddyell Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 check out toy tuning mate! there is an awesome set of brakes that only need 16s to go over them! and use r32 calipers so should provide more than enough stopping power for an EP Quote
Nanglebadger Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 im gettin some 14s refurbed this month, 14s RULE!Phil. Quote
Sparky Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Well I got 7" wide wheels and 5mm spacers but my wings are 20mm wider...still get a bit of rubbing though :angry: Quote
Edgy Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 i have 14's on me Glanza at the min. They seem alright and the car handles well but I have just ordered some Buddy Club SF Challenge in 15's because i didnt like the look of the alloys it came with. I asked the guys at japshop.co.uk their advise and they said that 15's would be best as you get great handling and looks, i think sometimes a bigger wheel can look to much exspecially on a smaller car like a starlet.

pallett Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 i love my 3 spoke 13's, factory standard haha. Quote
pallett Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 they are getting changed soon though, but wot do i do, do i get some 3 spoke 16s or just give these 13s a new lick of paint, bright red im thinking to start the white and red colour scheme off. what you guys think. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 keep the 13s as your winter rims!! and get them painted up yes!Phil. Quote
StarletRick Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 anything more than 15 inch and you deserve to be raped. Quote
