glrnet Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I need your help please chaps. I'm seriously considering some new wheels (yes I know I said I'd completed my mods, Colin, Dave Jim, Will, Darren et al ) Rears 19" 10" 5x114mm ET20 Fronts 19" 8.5" 5x114mm ET15 I also don't want a "stretched look" with regard to rubber so advice on tyre size would be appreciated too. 54 GT Coupe standard suspension currently have Rays and spacers , 25mm rear, 20mm front Any sensible input much apprecieated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Swap the front & rears and its a decent setup, id go 9.5 on front if you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I think maybe 8.5" front and 10" rear could look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrnet Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 If I have to go 8.5 can I leave the 20mm spacer on the fronts? Swap the front & rears and its a decent setup, id go 9.5 on front if you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 General advice ........ 1. No point in buying wheels and then continuing to use spacers. Get wheels that fit in the first place 2. 10J ET20 IMO isnt going to quite fill enough of the arch. 8.5 ET15 definitely isnt. 3. You wont need stretched tyres as you are staying well within the limits of "normal" fitment and are still running standard suspension 4.

DoogyRev Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Is it these? "Lexani Wheel Line comes studded with diamonds and rubies. The Asanti ASF 130 Series feature a set of four 34 inches wheels with 26,000 diamonds and 1,200 rubies. And, a set of four costs more then most of the priciest roadsters in the world, for an exceptional $2 million." I bet they will do your size for a discounted price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben@RARE RIMS Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 It's a good setup... They fit like this: They fill the arches nicely if you dont want to have any clearance or rubbing issues. If you go lower offset depending on ride height some people have had problems, and some not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
