GT4 Zed Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I'm after x4 REAR Rays. Ie 18x8.5J. Not fussed about condition as they will get refurbed and pc'ed but doesnt mean i want cracked/bent wheel or deeply gouged rims that cannot be repaired. So if you are prepared to split then pm me with a good price. Not in a rush too so can wait till spring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT4 Zed Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 You going for a square set up? What are t he advantages and will it mess up tc? Yes Olly, wheels square but tyres will be staggered and wider than OEM. It will mess nothing as they will still be within 1.5% (you can go up to 2.5%) of the OEM tyre rolling radius. But as a rule a square tyre set up reduces understeer while increase staggering makes it worse. I can't afford right now the superlight Rays Volks CE28N I always wanted for Toyo R888 tyres for track days. R888 are not cheap especially in 19" setup which I currently have. With 18x8.5 Rays I will go with 245/40/18 and 265/40/18 tyres. I will need spacers though but this does not impact that much on unsprung weight as its central with minimal centrifugal forces applying.

OllyB Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Hmmm interesting, this may be a way I can get more rubber on the road whilst still looking oem....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OllyB Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 What are the spacers needed for, clearance on the wider tyres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamN Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I have a set of rays I don't need. They're staggered and I won't split them but you could sell the fronts on. Don't know what they're worth. PM me if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT4 Zed Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 @ SamN: thanks for the offer but I'm only interested in rears.

They're both straight in good condition, few light curb marks and a bit of peeling inside the spokes but no chunks missing etc. Very presentable (although I know you said about refurbing anyway).
