Sarnie Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 What width are they? Why not buy some wheels that fit correctly without the need for spacers?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero260 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Are you asking about clearance because you have brembos? Its hard to say what spacer you would need to clear (if any) unless someone on here has fitted the same wheel to their car and could give you the info. It doesnt just come down to the offset though, even the curve of the spoke can have an affect on the fit. If you are getting them from a reputable wheel dealer then they should have the info on whether they will clear the calipers or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 We need to know the width of the wheels...... There is a guy with an UY GT4 with Jade 19's on here, why would you buy 18's?.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisUUC Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Quick question guys ... For these sizes would a zed require arch work ?? And also what space would you need for the front to.clear brembos and look.flush. 19x10 et 40 front 19x10 et 15 rear pcd 5x114.3 Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For flush, you need a max of 15 front & rear. True flushness can only be achieved with arch work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisUUC Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Yea Ian was disappointed with the front setup ... so you think a 15mm/20mm spacer setup at the front would have it sitting alot better? In terms of the arch work does it make it really huigh looking when you return it to standard lets say around selling up down the line? Thanks for the advice ...

Ian Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 20mm Spacer would be good, 25mm would be best though I never bothered with the arch work, Taddy would be the man to ask about that as he is running super low offsets with rolled arches Thats a 19x9.5 Et22 so an ET15 would be pretty much perfect IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisUUC Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Thats a sick setup ... always been a fan of your car styling ... have you got a R34 now? Would 10.0 be cool looking all round or would you ideally need staggered setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would 10.0 be cool looking all round or would you ideally need staggered setup? Still stripping the Z, will be for sale in the new year, hopefully I'll have a GTR by my birthday 10 all round will be fine as long as you stagger the tyre sizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisUUC Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Yea thats what id ideally be doing ... get my stretch on also ... lol Saw a lovely red R34 on PH's last month ... low miles and looked fantastic ... Just a pity insurance is so bad on them, who insures them sensibly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Insurance is the same as an FI Z so its all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisUUC Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I hate you ... lol Keep the brides though and put them in it ... So back on topic a 20mm spacer kit up front will cure the crap offset there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 If these brides sell then I'm getting different ones to go in, if not ill keep them On topic: 20mm will cure the offset issue, 25mm if your feeling brave & fancy shooting for Hellaflush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do your research as to what looks good and what look you want to acheive, then check with the wheel manufacturer or do some hunting around to see if they are still produced. remember, these guys just want your money, so if they dont have the 19's of course they will sell you onto some 18's which imo will look like a bag of ass with those style rims.

Ben! Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 If you want to sit real flush and real sexy you'll need around 19x10 et0 up front and 19x11 et0 rear, so just slap it in the offset calculator and find the equal offset for the sizes you have, what you have to remember is ride height and camber makes all the difference so the lower you go the lower offsets you can sit over. Although at the sizes i mentioned above you will need some arch work for deffinate, as all flush fitments will require the rears rolling. How high is your car sitting at present? Dont take any of that the wrong way matey, just hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisUUC Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Im lowered on Eibach Pro Kit at present ... Sitting really well compared to other cars ive had the pro kit in. Further to this for the sizes below would I get away without arch work, I know im really against arch work but its just because my car is still like new and would feel bad doing something like that to it ... lol FRONTS: 19 x 9.5 +17 offset REARS: 19 x 10.5 +18 offset Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
