Bigger Rims On A Ke70

[trav_555]

ok now i have a stock ke70 with stock rims what i s the max size i can go up to will r17/205/40 fit? if not what mods make em fit or what bigger rims?

 

cheers again guys.

why give tyre specs when they mean nothing

 

how big are the rims? 17x8 ? 17x9 ?

 

how much stretch is the tyre going to be had on the rim

I'm guessing theyre going to be some chinese 17s

so something like 17x6.5 or 17x7.5

 

 

17s will fit

but why do you want 17s ?

4kc can't push the tiny 13s that you run

 

 

if your getting bigger rims to enhance your grip

 

go with some wider rims instead of bigger

something like 14x8 or if you really want some fitment

 

15x10's

 

but no matter what rim, on an xe7x its all about the -ve offset

 

 

probably cost around the same as your chinese spec bob jane t mart 17s.

 

 

 

my opinion, do not intent on having a ping at you, it is your car, and you do make the final decisions at the end of the day.

how can you choose shcoking chromies over what you have just seen ? :(

 

i don't understand.

 

 

what is your reasoning of building a show car ke70

they are the ugliest thing ever created.

[D1doony]

and more

 

 

 

 

 

this one above has mild flare ie: do it at home spec

 

 

 

and the bottom one isnt a ke70

but it is an xe7x

 

 

 

 

 

now go out

and do some real fitment.

I don't think hitting the struts or guards will be a problem. More so the fact that those rims are 4 x 100pcd and a KE70 is 4 x 114.3. Good luck even getting them onto the hub.

I am no fan of big bling rims, unless they really suit the car. Though for daily use and a bit of street, I would definitely choose D1doony's picture rims.

 

Big bling rims are only really found on either;

 

Show off cars (Trying to say they have big money or big loans)

 

And Show room cars (They buy the big bling rims, the expensive paint and the expensive gear)

[trav_555]

ahh it was my shitty internet explorer firefox is workin though, nah i want 17s

[trav_555]

ok yeah so thats what a ke70 has, well that settles that. but i still will be gettin me some bling lol

[D1doony]

theyre not going to fit theyre wrong studd patern, maybe off a honda integra or something stupid like that as they are 4x100

 

 

e7 stud pattern is 114.3 as stated above

wish you luck in your quest to get these on your car

 

you obviously not going to listen.

so do what you want, like i said in my original post

[trav_555]

no i didnt know what stud pattern a ke70 has i am listening i just have a different view of what i want for MY car i appreciate all the help i get off these sites. i just needed to know if they would fit and they don't. so i will have to continue looking.

[D1doony]

well if this is any help to you, the most "bling" rim you could find with a 114.3 stud pattern would be of an s13 silvia or r31 skyline

 

they make blingers for those types of cars.

 

 

you do know your car can be only so low when its sitting on 17s compared to 14s/15s

[trav_555]

what do you mean by:

you do know your car can be only so low when its sitting on 17s compared to 14s/15s

[LittleRedSpirit]

17s on a 70? don't expect much help from most of us on here.

 

They will not fit. Firstly, wrong pattern, secondly, wrong style, thirdly, wrong offset. You will 100 percent make the thing slow as a wet week, and handle like absolute poop. Think maybe 3/4s as quick as it is now.

 

You must be from Sydney.
