Reeco Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 basically as the title says will the wheels in the link fit? without major arch rolling, i dont mind pressing in the inner lips but i dont want to flare them! i've tried a million times but i cant get my head round working out wheel widths and offsets. thanks in advanced guys! http://www.ebay.co.u...=item20d3606d82 Quote
Sized Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) I think you'll have to go for an arch roll with those bad boys mate and maybe some combination of more camber/stretched tyres. I have 9.5j ET22 (front) and 10.5j ET22 (rear) and in my opinion that's the perfect fitment for zeds. No need to roll the arches and a nice flush fit. Check out Buster's car on here though.I think he has a build thread and is running some serious poke with a very low zed at the moment. Edited May 29, 2013 by Sized Quote
KyleR Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 9.5/10.5 et 20 on mine, dropped 30mm, needed the arched rolled, but not pulled. Those fronts would be 12mm wider than my fronts and 12mm lower offset, so with the offset alone they'll stick out 12mm more, plus half the 12mm wider rim, so that's 18mm more poke than mine which are perfectly flush with the arch. Rears are 38mm wider than mine and 12mm lower offset, totaling 44mm more poke. If you put tyres that fit correctly one the rims none of them will fit beneath the arches. You'd need quite a bit of stretch, especially on the rears. I wouldn't bother, spend that minimum £1k on a set of brand new Rota Grids or GTRs 1 Quote
BulletMagnet Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) Them being 18"s I dunno if they would look too small with a dish like that on a Zed Edited May 29, 2013 by BulletMagnet 1 Quote
S1 HNK Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 ^^^ they will look tiny. Unless you are going seriously low I don't think they'll look quite as good as you imagine. Just my opinion of course. 1 Quote
docwra Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Arch flare, camber, stretched tyre to make them fit, those are tough fitments. As others have said, if youre spending decent money a 19 is generally a better bet ........ 1 Quote
Reeco Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 cheers for the advice and comments guys, well in that case ill be giving them a miss, i'm going seriously low, well at least i'm going to try, but i want reversible mods really (i.e. not pulled arches) but i definitely don't want rotas! ill keep looking for something a little bit less wide Quote
Sized Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 PM Tarmac if you want some tasty wheels that aren't Rotas. He can get SSR, Enkei and others all at a good price 1 Quote
