zebedee! Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Is it just the tyre sizes thats making these look wrong? Currently the rears are 275/30/19 i will change them to 285/35/19 should that even it up because to me at the minute the rears seem to look to small The jack had no weight on it btw Also please help me decide on colour choice for them To give an idea of the red: Quote
Lexx Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Yeah, the rears look lost in the arches! Increasing the sidewall should work Quote
rmmackfc Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Is it still on the jack? The camber of the drive might not help either Offset and width? Quote
zebedee! Posted January 8, 2008 Author Posted January 8, 2008 Is it still on the jack? The camber of the drive might not help either Offset and width? 10.5J wide so they have got some stretch on atm Offset has been sorted with a spacer it's +22 now: Going to have to bolt the rears on again and check it want on the jack though im sure it's not Quote
rmmackfc Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 check it want on the jack though im sure it's not Offsets look good, cambers can play mind tricks right enough. Get it on a flat road and check again. Still looks though Quote
Ian Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 What wheels are they? They look great I would leave them that colour Quote
GIXXERUK Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 looks need a pic on the flat, going off those pics it looks as though it wants lowering a tad plus you have just jacked it up so the suspension wont have settled back Quote
GIXXERUK Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 What wheels are they? They look great I would leave them that colour +1 Quote
Zedrush Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 the more I see red ones the more I contemplate getting mine sprayed red Quote
djtimo Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 please dont paint them red!!!!!!!!!!! Back or gunmetal! Just go for a 295?35?19 !! will look beefy! Quote
sinbad Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 That looks stunning as does the wheels. Maybe lowering it and getting taller sidewalls will do the trick. Still even in its current guise Quote
GIXXERUK Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 the more I see red ones the more I contemplate getting mine sprayed red +1 mate, reds are reallying looking lately Quote
H5 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 One the car has moved and the suspension has settled it should look better. Quote
Digsy Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I think you'd be better with a 35 profile on the rear and if you're still not happy you should look into a small drop. Wheels are looking good though and I wouldn't change the colour. Red wheels are cack BTW... Quote
jonathan73 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Like H5 mentioned - it should settle a little lower once moved. If not, I'd go for higher sidewalls (may be 35 would be OK but 40s certainly would) and perhaps invest in lowering it a touch if necessary. Quote
ir_fuel Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I think you'd be better with a 35 profile on the rear and if you're still not happy you should look into a small drop. Wheels are looking good though and I wouldn't change the colour. Red wheels are cack BTW... I agree Quote

Wheels are looking good though and I wouldn't change the colour. Red wheels are cack BTW... I agree +2 or perhaps 40 would look even better Quote
rickya Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 As above definetley too low profile on rears: Im running 35 profile on rear & 40 on front: Quote
Digsy Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I haven't got a calculator to hand but I would check that 40 profile doesn't increase the rolling radius too much before you go down that route. Quote
rmmackfc Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 This will help... http://www.alloywheels.com/tyrecalc.asp Quote
ir_fuel Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 As above definetley too low profile on rears: Im running 35 profile on rear & 40 on front: That height looks nice Some people lower too much, which makes the arches "eat" the wheels, that looks even worse imho Quote
Jacko Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Go with +35 profile and go Gunmetal to look the bees..... Mine look spot on one same width of wheel on a +35 profile Quote
Digsy Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Go with +35 profile and go Gunmetal to look the bees..... Mine look spot on one same width of wheel on a +35 profile They certainly do! Quote
rickya Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 That height looks nice Some people lower too much, which makes the arches "eat" the wheels, that looks even worse imho Cheers mate I havent lowered mine (std suspension on 19"s), but choices in tyre profile & offsets gives vastly differing results.

zebedee! Posted January 9, 2008 Author Posted January 9, 2008 Will post some pictures when i get them done. Need this damage sorting first: Quote
