Wheels
Gents Ive read a few threads regarding wheels sizes but is there a definitive offset size that means no spacers required on the rear? If not what ET's can you go for on the rear??
PS got a quote from image wheels £1705!!!!!!!!!!! no tyres. Ebay I go I think! |

I've been trying to do wheel shopping and keep hitting dilemmas with suppliers could you guys let me know what you've fitted please. Also can I run 8x16 on the fronts. Its the fronts I'm struggling with. Cheers

My tire dealer has ordered the Lenso in 7 + 8 x 15 for me
in 2-3 weeks, I can tell whether the fit. I ordered the wheels with 25mm offset. I think it will fit in the front rear I need 25mm spacers. http://www.ebay.de/itm/Wasserschaden...ht_2546wt_1296 |
Thanks mate but I really want 16s but that is the style I've been looking at today

Make: Borbet A Front 16 x 7.5" with et (offset) 20mm (no spacers) Rear 16 x 9" with et (offset) 15mm (+25mm spacers) Running 215/40/16 tyres all round at present, but will be fitting: 205/55/16 Front 225/50/16 Back http://i1046.photobucket.com/albums/...e/IMG_2078.jpg Red demo car (gold wheels): Make: Compomotive RF Front 15 x 7" with et (offset) 20mm Rear 15 x 7" with et (offset) 10mm (+50mm spacers) 205/50/15 tyres all round http://i1046.photobucket.com/albums/...e/mxrear34.jpg On the Mk2 demo car we have used: 215/40/17 all round on 8x 17 Image split Rims with 0 offset. PCD 4 x 100 fitment with 25mm spacers on rear only. This did require the front arches to be flared, due to the 0zero offset and 8" width. You will be fine with 8" fronts if the offset is 25mm. http://i1046.photobucket.com/albums/...k2and1rear.jpg This website is really useful: http://www.gtsparkplugs.com/WheelOffsetCalc.html As is this one for tyre sizes: http://www.kouki.co.uk/utilities/vis...ize-calculator |
Thanks Chris problem solved then.... 16x8 fronts. Cheers.
Guys I'm still interested to hear what the rest of you have fitted... |

I like lowered cars, but we have so far shown what can be achieved on a limited budget and stock MX5 underpinning.
|

Has anyone got a piccy of a lowered car on 15s?
|
My rears are 15" rims, with 225/55 tyres, giving a total diameter of 24 1/4", 2" more than the standard MX.
Lowered 40mm on £500 worth of KYB shocks, adjustable. The fronts are 185/70s I think. The original 250GTO ran 15" 185/80 all round. 26" diameter. |
These are what I went for in black with polished rim

Will be fitting spinners to so theyll be pretty close to my original choice but wont cost £1700 |
The look really good.:sad:
Let's see if the mounted. |
