longsh07 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Hey guys, Sorry if this has been answered already, I have read a bunch of threads but cant seem to find what im looking for. I also may answer my own question but I'd appreciate your thoughts. In future I want to fit some 19" Volk TE37's (ET22), lower the car 30mm on Eibach springs and give it a nice flush look that 20/25 spacers on standard 18" rays gives the car. I also want to steer clear of rolling the arches. The two setups I'm considering are: Front: 19x8.5 Rear 19x9.5 (5mm spacers on front only) Front: 19x9.5 Rear 19x10.5 (no spacers) Setup 1 would poke the wheels out similar to 20/25 spacers on standard rays but is it OK to run spacers on the front only? Setup 2 on the other hand might cause the fronts/rears to rub on the arches, sticking out past the arches, or hit the suspension. Is it OK to run wheels this wide on an standard Zed lowered 30mm? I looked at http://www.rayswheel...19&for=domestic and it says the 19x10.5 ET22's aren't suitable for Zed's with Brembo's unlike the 8.5/9.5's but Im sure i've seen people fitting them without issue? Any thoughts much appreciated! __________________ Below I've included all the inner clearance/outer position info Setup 1 would give me: Front Inner clearance: 2mm more Outer position: extend 14mm (+5mm spacer) = 19mm Rear Inner clearance: 2mm less Outer position: extend 24mm Setup 2 would give me: Front Inner clearance: 11mm less Outer position: extend 27mm Rear Inner clearance: 14mm less Outer position: extend 36mm Quote
370Ad Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Option 2! 9.5J on the front and 10.5J on the rear with the offset around ET20 is perfect on the Z. Not too much to ruin every day driving but looks the business too! You don't have to roll the arches with that setup as well Quote
longsh07 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Posted January 25, 2013 So there's no issues with that setup? Thats good to know. Cheers Quote
370Ad Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 So there's no issues with that setup? Thats good to know. Cheers Nope not at all. That's running OEM size tyres for the 19's (245/275) and not oversized tyres though. Quote
longsh07 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 Just been doing a bit more reading/research into this and it looks like option two would mean I need to adjust the rear camber or get a camber kit to avoid hitting the arches. As an option 3, I have though about keeping the current wheels (GT4 Rays) and sticking 20/25 spacers on then lowering 30mm. Not seen any mention of this causing any rubbing or needing camber kit/arches rolled. So would this make a good short term solution, while I save some pennies for rims and possible camber kit? Quote
Ian Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I had that very setup (Option 2) on my car. No need for camber kits or arch rolling unless you go to a 285 tyre. Quote

Good to know, any pictures of it at all Ian? Also that means my option 3 should be fine. Hopefully it will settle my need to modify the car until I can realistically afford the rims without using man maths. Quote
ATTAK Z Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I put a calculator on here some months ago ... I'll see if I can find it Quote

370Ad Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Mine doesn't have any further suspension work either. No hitting on arches or inner suspension. Quote
