FAO Budgie, Wiley & other running 9.5s
 

Hey guys just wondering what offsets your wheels are? I'm lookingg at a set of 18x9.5s for mine, but the offset is 35, which I think may be a bit too low.
Any ideas how much work they'll be to fit?
Thanks

Rey

P.S. Don't worry I'm not getting Grids ;)

35 with rolled lips on my old set of Grids, i now have 9x18's et20 without stretched tyres

Sounds promising!! Do you have any pics? I'm currently running 18x8 with a 225/40/18, ET35 and the rear tyres are kissing the lips more than a badman from peckham.

:lol: :lol: PMSL

Hi Rey
I am using ET30 on the rear and 38 on the front
Hope that helps
Feel free to come over and test fit if you want
Peter

Thanks budgie, what tyre sizes are you running? Are you arches rolled or flared? And also have you had to run a high negative camber?

Grids

It looks so much different to how it does now. Both styles look amazing though :notworthy

I'm sold on the grids for my white bugeye now, what did you do with the Sti spoiler in the pic mate?


Ray, any clues as to what wheels you are looking at :wonder:

its on the spare boot lid in the garage mate

On white 8.5x18 et45 Grids

They also look good but I do prefer the more aggressive 9.5 inch grids. Were you running coilovers as well as having the lips rolled?

Yeah Tein super streets and just the rears rolled at this stage, now the car mainly lives on track ive had the fronts done with 3 degrees camber on the front

Great, thanks for the info mate :thumb:

I hope it helps you as well Rey, sorry for the slight thread highjack :thumb:

ET38 all round for me, although i'm running a bit stretched at 225/35/18
i (garage)cut my arch lips (sounds gay lol) as close the outer panel/wing, and didnt rub much tbh
only when i dropped it another 2-3 inches then it had a bit of rub.
these are my future wheels hopefully. works emotion xd9s 18 x 10

wiley

I hope so too ;)

Fook me, thought the title was quarter mile times at a quick glance :eek:

TX.

im a few seconds short of that lol

wiley

Hah in which case I'm the quickest, currently running an 8! Lol
I'm not going to mention what wheels I'm getting, just in case it all falls through. I'll have the wheels by this week, but will need to save up for tyres and arch rolling. Turbo fitting and remap have been put on hold for now

Anyone have any experience of 215/45/18s on a 18x9.5 rim?

215 would be to narrow for a 9.5 I would of thought mate.

ive stretched 215s on a 9.5 :thumb: you can run et 35 but stretching will be needed

maggs is 215/45/18 on a 9.5 a "safe" stretch? i dont want them popping off if i drift round a roundabout at 500mph...

not to worry, ive found a set of my all time favourite wheels in 18x8.5 ET30... which i think would look shweeeeeeet on my car!

anti climax:lol:

hah budgie have i let you down? I'll probably change them again after winter anyway, i just didnt fancy the thought of protecting a set of polished rims through winter!
