britishbeef Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 What problem do you get with the traction control with certain rear wheels out of curiosity Quote
buster Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 traction control will kick in and out... Quote
MCook Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 Some pictures with the carbon bits and some without... only thing slightly bothering me is all the writing/engraving 4 Quote
370Ad Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 You will need to lower the Z or it will look ridiculous. Bobs suits the aggressive stance as it's so low. If not the wheels will look very out of place. Glad the other guys have helped you with tyres sizes! 1 Quote
GMballistic Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 I like those. Lot going on with the carbon fibre inserts, branding/engraving but I think they should look pretty bad a** when fitted. If I was you though I wouldn't go for the stretched tyre look. I think they will look better with the fat tyre look imo. Quote

Ceejay29 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Nice wheels; look forward to seeing them fitted. Good colour choice Quote
AliveBoy Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 New pants needed. And I don't even like black wheels! Quote
Randy_Baton Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 I was looking at getting the exact same wheels next year, but was put off by all the pictures of trucks sporting them! Interested to see how it looks on a silver Zed. Quote
britishbeef Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Nice wheels very flash What the cause of the traction control problem with the wrong wheels I'm looking at 10j rears with et 20 Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 It's to do with the rolling radius ... If you don't keep it close to oem spec front to rear the traction control will keep coming on due to the incorrect radius They look lovely wheels .... Lets hope they fit over the brembos at the front !!! Quote
Tricky-Ricky Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Unless you disable it of course! Quote
pjf1985 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 ^^ What Kyle said seems right. My guesstimate would have been; Front: 245/45/18 Rear: 275/45/18 (although a 265 makes sense if it will help avoid rubbing plus I know Pjf runs that size which works for him with a bit of stretch. ) But possibly a 40 profile might be needed on the front/rear? as Kyle suggested. Need to be careful you get the rolling radius correct so you don't get any TC issues. No I don't lol. I'm running 225/45/18 and 245/45/18 the standard Rays sizes with some stretch Very, very nice wheels, looking forward to seeing pics Quote
buster Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) i run 225/45/18 on 9.5 j rota and 245/45/18 on 10j rota Edited December 31, 2014 by buster 3 Quote
GMballistic Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 No I don't lol. I'm running 225/45/18 and 245/45/18 the standard Rays sizes with some stretch Very, very nice wheels, looking forward to seeing pics Ahh my mistake. I thought I'd read you saying it in another thread but what you'd actually said was that the 245 & 265 was the recommended sizes. I'm running RPF1's and have this fitment which I personally think is spot on... Fronts: 9.5J ET15 on 225/45/18 tyres Rears: 10.5J ET15 on 245/45/18 tyres Tyres have a bit of stretch, not sure if thats what you want though? Should be 245 front and 265 rear recommended sizes I think. 1 Quote

MCook Posted December 31, 2014 Author Posted December 31, 2014 No tyres for me today! Wheel specialist Farnham was open, but fully booked until a week today. They do not normally fit tyres to just anyones wheels, normally it is only if you have had a refurbishment with them. But they happily agreed to do it for me, and would find the best size and fitment. So a week today will be the day hopefully. Unless I get impatient and go elsewhere on the weekend! I am going to fit one front and one rear alloy just to see how they look and fit . Pictures shortly. Quote
