As above im looking into putting some 18x8.5 or 18x9's slamming it negative camber, despoilered etc etc, but was wondering how much work would be involved to getting them to fit?

ie spacers, arch work stuff like. I've seen its done many times on the blob eyes just never on the classics.

Cheers in advance Matt

 

arches would need to be rolled and you would defo need camber adjustment top mounts and also camber bolts for that bit extra.

you would need the right et so that you dont hit the struts. and a solid set of coilovers. and tyres would need a little strech on them

i cant see it being easy

 

Yeah goes without saying deffo coilovers with adjustable mounts, arch work i reckon 8.5/9j i would stretch on 215/35/18's or 225/40/18's summut like that.
My bodyshop are dub specialists so they fit wide rims and stuff like that all day long.

 

then it can be done. but be sure to message back so i know what i need to do. already started the prep. need some spacers as i want to keep my wheels but getting there.

just need to drop it some more and adjust my camber settings

 

What width are your rims fella?

 

7.5j i think. not wide enough. but with some spacers they should look a bit batter.

 

These are the rims i wanna go for 18x8.5 rota torque drifts i'll run 215/35/18 tyres

yeah they are nice aint they

bit like mine but you obviousll will have slightly wider and deeper ones.

 

Yeah i think they'll look sweet once its all done im removing the wing and putting a e46 m3 lip spoiler on

 

Ah ****!!!!!

Just realised rota dont do 5x100 only 5x114, any idea if i can get past this? or special order 5x100's?

 

Anyone?

 

18*7.5 wheels with 215*35*18 tyres fit classics without arch rolling etc.

Why would you want to run 8.5 or 9 with 215 rubber on them? Would the tyre even fit the wheel?

I know a chap on here is running Rota Torque on his classic so I imagine you can get 5*100 without a problem. Torque Drift in the size you're suggesting I'm not so sure about. Try rarerims who should be able to advise.

 

215's on a 8.5 will fit but slightly stretched, im waiting for a call back to see if they will make me a set of torque drift series in 5x100, 8.5x18. Other than that its buy the 5x114 and have them machined

 

or just buy hub adapters from 114 to 100 and counter act the et difference with the et of the wheel.

does that make sense to just me or do you understand it

 

tried fella the closest i can find is 5x112-5x100, unless you know somewhere that makes um?

You have to use 5x100 to 5x112 adapters and use PCD bolts.

Just looked on there website couldnt find anything

 

Cheers fella will do

 

Just drop him a pm. Think you'd be looking at about £130 for a set though.

 

Cheers mate, legend

Just wondering how pcd converters would work with subaru's as we have to use nuts to tighten our wheels up with rather than bolts.

 

You either use shorter stubs in the hub or the studs hmight have to be cut down!

 

The spacers have studs pressed into them and bolt into the original holes of the hubs. Then you just use your nomal nuts to attach the wheel.

They're the same as these but he'll make them to the thickness you need and change the pcd
