JordanHill Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 First off thanks for even clicking this as i can imagine most members are sick of people asking do these wheels fit!?!? However.. I am unfortunately going to be one of those people. ( i want them to look right haha) Right down to business.. Im after some Rota Gtrs : http://www.performancealloys.com/wheel-details.aspx?ID=1784 I currently have the non Rays alloys 18inch with new tyres (wanted to try and keep these) I also plan to put some tein springs on lowering by only 17mm all round roughly. I however am a complete noob and have no idea what sizes to order? I have heard that 18x8.5 on the front and 18x9.5 on rear looks and performs best however i have no idea what they mean.. and also from the site i have no idea what the offsets are etcetc.. As you can imagine i am confused haha so if anyone can shed some light on this it would be sooo awesome!! (350zad has helped me out a lot however dont want to keep bugging him) Thanks in advance!

SteveM Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 your best bet is to drop a trader here a PM about the wheels you are looking at and they can advise on what will or wont fit. Rarerims and CS spring to mind but there are others. as for keeping the new tyres and fitting them to thenew rims... i guess it should be ok but you will be fitting a 245 (rear) from an 8.5 rim to a 9.5 rim.. not sure if this works or not. again the traders can help with advice hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 OEM tyre sizes will fit 8.5/9.5 18's and you want to get an offset as close to et10 as possible to avoid needing spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott TMN Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) I know the general concesus with wheel widths and offsets etc is 10.5j et20 rear (275 tyre) 9.5j et20 front (245) this is what I and many others have. If you want to keep your current tyres 8.5 and 9.5 sounds like a good shout, although off the top of my head I wouldn't know what offset to advise (sure someone will be along to help) But I have a 245 on a 9.5j and it's fine Some useful sites: http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/forum/tyre-size-for-rim-width_topic60146.html I would recommend Cougar Store for your wheels, and he'll be able to advise too I'm sure Edited March 3, 2014 by Scott_f91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
