What wheel size for perfect stance!
« on: 17 October 2011, 23:47 »
I did search but couldnt find the exact answer. Ive found some 16 inch rs reps. Theyre 8j et25 on the front. And 9j et20 on the rear. Would they be ok with 195/45/16. What size would i want to add some stretch. Going very low with coilovers!

Good choice of wheels and yes that is the correct size tyres but your going to need arch mods with those offsets. :smiley:

cheers wayne. after doing a little research i think et30 with 195/45/16 adds a tiny bit of poke with some nice stretch. I always seem to like wheels that are a pain to fit!

Et35 and 30 will be ok, et20 and 25 will need work.

Do Rs reps even exist in 5x100 16" in that offset? I do have my heart set on them but cant find any. It was like i found long lost treasure when i came across these!

I remember seeing that car on ed38, it needed major work to get them on and usable.

When I tried one on mine even with 215/35's they were catching on the front part of the rear beam.
