Will these wheels fit?

[JMSBND]

Hey guys,

I can get my hands on a set of really nice Rays Wheels. They are :17x9 +40 offset running 255 40 17 front, and 17x10 +48 offset running 275 40 17 rear. I have not lowered the car, but these rims are way sexy and a good price. Is there a way to get them on?

Thanks!

James.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

i dont think the rears will fit. Fronts might fit with a 245 tyre and some camber.

Rears you might get away with it if you run a stretched tyre

[JMSBND]

thats what I thought. A stretched tyre aint too good for wear and handling though is it?

[AdN]

just out of curiostiy what car did those wheels come off?

Good for drifting though!

thinner sideways offer sharper handling wasnt it? better turn in? dont qoute me on that though...

good luck...unless u running wide body those will scrub like a bi7ch...
especially running those size tyres...

im running 17x8+45 F and 17x8.5 +44 R and still scrubs (occasionally)...even though rear guard is rolled (bumper shaved, bumper mounting relocated, etc)... and that with me running-2 front camber and -3 rear camber...

Im using 235/45/17 all round...

Your combo compared to mine means that ur front will stick out 18mm more than mine, and the rear will stick out 15mm more than mine...

I suggest you dont do it. Maybe ok if yours not lowered...but not lowered is gay IMO...

Wow.. 17x8.5 +44 235's -3degrees and rolled guards and your still rubbing?What kind of rim and tyres are they? Oh how lows your car? must be pretty low, low is good :D I like low mines not that low but lol.

I got 17x9 +44 245's -2.5 degrees camber semi rolled guards and I only rub the rear bumper which i need to adjust abit and it only rubs on real big ditches which my front bar will touch the floor anyway lol. And re001 have pretty fat sidewalls lol.

You obviously wont be able to clear it without fender modification and thinner tyres. :)

I will be getting a new wheel alignment, more street friendly will be going with the oem uk spec aligment with -2degree rear camber it shouldn't rub but see how it goes.

Thanks guys, wheels are from a Supra I think. I decided to pass on them. I would love to run them but they are just too big. I want to lower my car too soon so they just wont work. Guess I will go back to the drawing board. I have these gay rims that were fitted by the dealer new and they are totally wrong offset and too narrow. barely fit a 235 on the rear and I cant lower it. The old boy I bought the car off thought they were great. They are bloody BIN Spec if you ask me.

Thanks again.

P.S. I was thinking of going standard 16" rims and just paint them black, thoughts?

[vyets]

As in you want to buy them? Or you already have them, I have my stock 16" for track rims, running 225/50 Dunlop DO1J Semis. If your guna get oem rims, try get your hands on any of the AP2 Rims :D Can run fatter tyres.

I was going to spray my stockies black as well.. but after looking at afew pictures, it just looks too tacky and cheap so I left them... Brake dust colour LOL

I agree - leave the stock wheels the original colour. Looks best! Otherwise get some gunmetal DC5R rims, they suit the S2000s really well.

Vyets, are you running 225/50 back and front during track sessions? How do you rate the D01J's????

[JMSBND]

Well I decided just to buy a set of AP1 16" rims. I am going to run 225 45 16 front and 245 40 17 rear. Got them for $200.00 from a tyre place where they were traded. I will paint them black, but not with a spray can. I will do them in 2K black. At least I know they will fit! I just need to get the right wheelnuts too.

[ludecrs]

$200 - good price!

yeah mine pretty low...less than 1 finger gap between the fender and tyres kinda low...re01r 235 is pretty fat too which isnt helping...

with the rear you will need to roll the guards + relocate the rear bumper tab back 1". use a self tapering screw. Use a mallet and tap the original tab upwards so it doesnt rub the tyre. Then also you might need to trim the rear bumper abit. Its just the rear black plastic bit that needs a trim.

If you have done all that i dont see how you would rub? I would have thought a 245 tyre on a 17x9 rim is prefect for aggreesive fitments. Some people have even got away with fitting 255's. I dont think its just to the RE01R tyre either as others have fitted azenis rt615 which are a pretty fat tyre.

Also your car isnt slammed, less than one finger gap between tyre and guard is plenty of clearence in my books ;).

Perhaps you could post up pics of your setup?

run the 10" at the fronts LOL
