Got a dilemma, Help me out...
« on: 06 October 2013, 22:18 »
Hey guys, Ive been doing my misses head in about changing my wheels for about 6 months, the other day we were talking about it and she came out and said, "Babe if you want I don't mind giving you the money to buy new wheels and just pay me back when you can" I was like  :shocked:

Then I got a text "check your account" Logged in and saw she has transfer £790!!!! again im like  :shocked:

So ive been browsing the web for the past hour looking as to what I should order the only wheels I can seem to like are....

Rotiform NUE, 3SDM 0.01/0.05/0.06, BBS RS & BBS CH's

I also want to have a wider rear but im worried about rubbing.

For example, I went on rimstyle and I am able to get a set of 3SDM 0.01's with 8.5 front, 9.5 rears with 225/40/R18 tyres and metal valves and shipped within my budget but im worried that having 8.5's on the front are going to cause issues?

Any chance I could get some feedback from you lot please?  :huh:

The wheel width won't be the issue, the tyre size will. I'd be looking at 205/40/18 on the front and 215/40/18 on the rear :wink:

Oh, and out of that lot either nue's or 0.06's :afro:

Can I ask why you say that tyre spec? I only ask because The only option on rimstyle is 225/40/R18

and both NUE's & 0.06's are out of my price range lol

Basically what I am getting at is I don't want to have to use spacers, my car is lowered but only 40mm can anyone confirm if i could get away without using spacers?
