thinking about getting some new rims i was looking at enkei ev5's, 17"x7"
anyone know what off set i should use 38 or 45?
38 mate, i don't think 45s would clear or if they do it will be very very minimal.
also with 17" your car is gonna look like a 4WD and if you lower it it's going to rub alot.
Yes 17" rub alot, had 17" on while I re did my current wheels in white and it was rubbing like crazy, I'm lowered on Tien stech
you're prob gonna have troubles with the turning circle too, full lock is going to kill your car.
imo for the jazz looks = 16s"
performance = 15s"
mine r on stock coilovers :S
are i want that style of rim i wish it were in 16 but not unfortunately, and ive seen the tyres that would go on in replacement and it looks ok, but havent seen em fitted so yeh hard to call :S
what do you guys think of these?

they on 15s superslick im thinking of spraying bronze or white cos i got a blue jazz.. thoughts?
Yeah, they'd be alright. Just don't go 17"s, whatever you do!
oooh multistud, are you planning to use them for tracking or daily? p.s whats the offset and width?
mostly daily. offset is 38-40 aprox..
Front: 205/55/15
Rear: 225/55/15
hmm can anyone find ev5 style in less than 17??
cos i dont really want 17 i kno its gonna be a pain, even more so on bumps xD
Its gonna be to wide for Jazz with 225.........Quote:

too wide or will fit? btw sorry for double post.
theyh look good as is, i dont think bronze will go well, u can try spokes black with a white edge on the rim.Quote:

cos im gona lower them on eibach springs too.. switch to coilovers later
Sell the slicks and get smaller profile tyres and it will fit fine... assuming the spokes can clear the calipers. I had a hard time finding wheels to clear the metal bracket that sticks out of the caliper.
alright thanks ill see how it goes. im having second thoughts now about these
http://i.ebayimg.com/00/$%28KGrHqIOK...Q%7E%7E_12.JPG
16s for around the same price with new tyres too.. which would u pick?
the firsts look sexier, huge gapes between the spokes can look ugly at some angles cos ppl can see that ur brakes dont fill the space and the crappy drumms at the back
alright thanks much appreciated.
yeh ive seen ppl that throw those wheels on and u can see straight through the back and makes it look very unsporty because of the lack of a rotor and calipers
tip is to get black rims so it hides the drumms (just don't paint them) :) also they look like work emotion knock offs with multistud, doesn't look clean enough for me, with that tyre profile im assuming would be something around the region of 205/35/16 there will be lots of unfilled space in your guards.
Drums arent really that noticable. I didnt even realize the Jazz had drums till after i bought it lol
205/35/16 doesnt exist or rare as far as i know. I wouldnt go any higher than 205/40 if you plan to lower it and stuff.
Get jazz vtis wheels and spray then like I did..http://tapatalk.com/mu/c094754f-95ae-e68a.jpg
yeh, but i want custom >.< LOL

affects the speedo.Quote:

does the offset affect scrubbing? or is it mostly radius and width?
offset is how far the hub is away from the centre of the car.Quote:

so if theres too much positive it can interfere with suspension as it pokes into the car, not enough and it could poke out the side too much.
but the wheel diameter shouldn't change much if u put on new rims because then it means u should get new tires that would make the cars overall wheel size the same, otherwise it affects the speedo.
mainly make sure the car isnt too low cos if it is then too little offset can cause them to poke into the mudguard or something.
hopefully someone else can help me out here im abit new to this too.
but mainly its car height
how it affects the speedo depends on the wheel size and tyre size. it can be calculated via.

legally you can go up 2 sizes from stock, and 2 inch in width, as the cops look at the sticker inside your car.
also if anyone is after some 16x7 buddyclub p1 sfs with red stripe, +42 perfect fit for the jazz, give me a pm :)
Does anyone have 16's for sale?
preferrably black ahaha
Yes offset will determine how much closer or further it will sit from the guards. Height, rolling diameter and width play a part too.Quote:
