raffs rolla Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 hi I'm think of get 16x8 inch rims on my stock ke55 do u know if they will fit under the grauds thanks raff Quote
Taz_Rx Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Yes they will...... depending on what offset they are. Quote
raffs rolla Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Posted December 15, 2009 the offset is -0 will that matter cheers Quote
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 -0, they will be fully sic jap dorift mags, all you need is a set of 155/55 tyres and they will only scrub on your guards when you hit a bump, seriously, everyone does it, its fully sic! Quote
raffs rolla Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Posted December 15, 2009 ok man what ever u reckon Quote
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 Sorry man, to be serious.... They will not fit within your wheel arches, they will hang out lots, that being said, a lot of people run this size and offset mag, all they do is bash the crap out of their guards in an attempt to widen them, and fit the wheels with well under-width tyres, say 185 on an eight inch rim.

raffs rolla Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Posted December 15, 2009 argh ok man so I'm better off stickin with the 15x7 and run the offset at -15 Quote
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 -15 in a 7 will be a similar fit to the wheels you mentioned earlier. Quote
Taz_Rx Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 argh ok man so I'm better off stickin with the 15x7 and run the offset at -15 Try 15x7 in +15 :y: Quote
beerhead Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 You forgot to mention you need to run hectic 8 - 10 kg front, 6-8 kg rear spring rates. That way with 2mm of suspension travel you barely scrub the guards, and it's just your vertebrae of your spine scrubbing together on the bumps :y: With proper tyre fitment you need bolt on flares or big weld ons to make use of 0 to negative offset on any corolla chassis apart from an AE86. As matt said with some uber stretch it can fit, but whats the use of an 8" wide rim with 4" of rubber touching the ground. -0, they will be fully sic jap dorift mags, all you need is a set of 155/55 tyres and they will only scrub on your guards when you hit a bump, seriously, everyone does it, its fully sic!

raffs rolla Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Posted December 16, 2009 sorry i made a mistake they are 15x7 +15 or the other ones were 16x8 +15 Quote
kangaroosa Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 I had 15x7 +11 on the front of my KE30 and it was 'just' inside the front gaurd and cleared the strut with 10mm to spare. The rears were 15x7 +25 and was set in from the gaurd about 25mm. So i guess you could maybe get away with something close to a 0 offset on the rear. Quote

kangaroosa Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 so you reackon 15x7 front +15 and back +0 cheers At a guess it would be borderline. Go get your car measured up at a tyre shop and they will tell you what offset you can afford to run in 15x7. Assuming you don't care about the regulations regarding max wheel track increases....

raffs rolla Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Posted December 16, 2009 yea thanks for that man Quote
