redzone wrote:I have personal experience of 18X8.5 +12's on the front of a narrowbody, they juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust cleared the front struts with cut spring perches, 9's are a definite NO GO on the front. 17's will have slightly less clearance in the same offset, due to the front strut being angled.

if you want drifteks like those second ones then you have to run spacers which are gay and illegal.

the rbx 8.5's should fit, you can contact the seller direct and get them to put together a set of 8.5 +10's all round and get rid of the 9.5 idea.. then you will have wheels that fit

and 9" +10 would fit also if they make em. 10" +12 fits with cut perches too.

Ok, so i've gotta look into wheels running a 8.5" on the front and the rears i could get away with between 8.5 - 10" as long as its a +12 offset or so.. If i could get 8.5" rota p45'rs on the front and 9" on the rear i would be happy.. I guess i'm a bit undecided on whether i want lip or not.. i am a BIG fan of lip but all the wheels i would like seem a bit out've my price range or are either to wide or to small (usually to small).

you can run 9's on the front but you need an offset near zero..

How about theres wheels... Approx $1,380 for a set delivered.

From my calculations these should fit with guard rolling and some extra camber on the narrow body.

NARROW BODY
18x9.5 +0 with a 245/35/18
18x10.5 +15 with a 265/35/18

WIDE BODY
18x9.5 +0 with a 245/35/18
18x10.5 +0 with a 275/35/18

Nope. 18's or 19's :D

Thrash, try 18's, you like it :D

Talking to 2 distributors, a mini group buy might on the cards...

I had 18s.. I don't like it :P

If I could afford it, I would have 15 or 16s with 12inch width in the back and Silo's flares

After playing around today, looks like this will be the go.

Oh, and not sure if it has been posted before, but I found this offfset/backspace converter: http://www.ccwheel.com/incs/technical/c ... /index.php

I've had these 17in Lenso wheels on my ebay watch list for a while.... in 5 stud though. Are they decent quality?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/320899619825 ... 1423.l2649

Are the 17x8 +17 offset for the fronts okay? ...depending on tyre size I guess.

Will the 17x10 +15 fit in the rears?? Anyway I'd be more interested in the 17x9 -4 rim.

Your thoughts?

for flat or widey?

^^^^
Yeah, I meant for a widey, however the fronts would more or less apply the same for a flatty or widey.
I think the 17x8 +17 (front) and 17x10 +15(rear) are very close to the struts

They should fit...

How about these wheels?

Koya Drift Tek Wheels to suit Starion (4 and 5 stud)

http://wheelshed.com.au/ads/koya-drift- ... 5-5x114-3/

Available in 5 or 4 stud.

Theses are the same widths and offsets (different wheels) to my gold wheels...

With 225/45/17 on the front and 255/40/17 on the rear.
They fit standard suspension and coilovers. Only the rear guards need rolling.

NOTE: Different design but you get the idea for fitment...

Cheers,
Pete
