would anyone give me a reason for NOT fitting these to a classic? they will be the shallowest size i can get though. 7.5 i think it is?

 

i'll take it as no-one's replied there isn't any problem then? cheers then peep's for settling my mind.

 

Only one, which I had on my P1. Tyres are so thing, that if you go round a corner fast and it's a little uneven (the rims can well catch on the road surface and you've got yourself a nice little "parking scuff" like mark on em if it's a bad one).

Suspension upgrade, may well be your next buy with these! Oh and the feel through the steering wheel is a little more frantic, with you feeling those bumps just a tad more.

 

I've got 7.5 x 18 on my classic and it's lowered on Eibachs, but there looks enough room to fit 19s under the arches without a problem.

The only thing is when I've parked on full lock before there's a really tiny amount of space between the tyre and the arches, so maybe with 19's they might foul against the car?? But I don't know.

Give Paul at TSL a call - he should know...

 

Ive got 19" rimstock diablo's on my MY95 WRX... They fit fine... i have only ever had some arch scraping when i had a car full of people under heavy cornering...

i've already been told by scoty that they'll fit fine as he has them fitted on his. gonna lower the car with h&r's too at the same time. the only rubbing he got was going round corners hard too! but we've managed to find the source of the problem and fix it. i was just wondering if anyone had an bad experiences. i genuinely thought there would be a problem with the larger radius going on and doing damage to the diff's.

cheers lads

 

AFAIK the only diff problems that can be caused by the radius of the wheels is if they're nt all the same... making the space saver wheel a pointless thing to carry cos I wouldn't use it...! Take it and the jack out to save weight

 

super dooper people. you convinced me it's not a bad idea! keep your eye's peeled on s net.;p

 

I'll check the members gallery...

Nice one...!!

 

I have 19" diablos on my97 Catalunya they do look the nads...

 

I do like to look of Diablo's... Nearly got them (in 18s) but I went for the BK238's in the end cos of the Chrome finish

 

well i've just ordered my ninteen's and h&r springs today, to lower the motor onto them!

 

can't wait to see the pix....! She'll look well good

 

DRB5..

I've just got Scotys H&R's...do ya rekon 7.5x18's will rub on a classic ??

Johnny

 

probably would depend on the tyres fitted. but i would consider going fot 7x18 just make sure, or ask on this forum. what wheels were you thinking about fitting?

 

Was about to order the GTRS wheels from TSL.
Dont think they come in 7x18 though.

I had planned on just going for the 7x17's...
I really wanted 19's, but not practical for me.

 

I've got 7.5 x 18 with 225 section Pirelli's and they're fine. No rubbing at all...

 

Good to hear.

Thanks for that buddy.

Am just about to order me wheels !!

 

18s are GOOD!! Have fun and post pix in the members gallery when you've got them on.

19s would be awesome but same as you - not really practical for me and though the 7.5 x 18s don't rub, on full lock wih a loaded car the gap is pretty small - not sure if a 19 would not rub in that situation without cutting...

Happy with my 18s for now - and so will you BE

 

Hope so !

The cars looking pretty average at the moment.

Still on standard springs/wheels.

But picked up my H&R's lastnight..and wheels should arrive by the weekend..so it'll be transformed !

Will get piccys done as soon as it's done.

 

what wheels have you decided on johnny 50?

 

Am getting the GTRS wheels from TSL, seem a good price, and i'm desperate for wheels as mine are knackered.

They should be 7.5x18's.
As i've said, would love to go to 19's, but drive a lot of back roads, and they wouldn't be practical.

 

I've got 19's on my MY03 STi New Age, Arospeed GTRS with Toyo's, I know its not a classic but they look stunning. TSL did a fine job!

 

They sent me a pic of an 03 car with the 19's on them.

Have to agree with you, they looked stunning.

I can see these wheels getting very popular.

 

what colour are the arospeed's everyone's got?

 

Mine will be silver.

 

YHM Mail buddy.


I like the high power silver, looks great, but my wagon is Reddish Blue, so thought i'd stick to the silver.

 

Johnny, red wagon, 500HP and some BIG chrome wheels - stunning!


Wagon

 

Looks coooool !!!
