Hi all.
I really like these wheels and have a few questions. What size tyers do people run on both the 8" and 9.5" wide, for the stretched look and normal look?
And what suspension people running with both wheels?
Am I right in saying blobeyes don't have a lip to get arches rolled?
Post up some pics please with size of wheels, tyers and what suspension. Feel free for classic but really want pics and info for a newage as I have a blob on prodrive springs.
Thanks.

You will need coilovers i would go BC Coilovers, tyres 8" i would go either 225 or 235, Not sure on 9.5" I belive there is no lip to get rolled either mate :-)

I'm running 18 x 9.5 Rota Grid Drifts on my Hawkeye STi.

Tyres are 265/35/18 and coilovers are Hot Bits DT2 RSi....no rubbing issues whatsoever 'cos anything that might cause an problem has been cut/ground/torn/ripped/butchered out!

I've actually got three sets, all bought from M444GY at Ruislip tyres who I can highly recommend!

Think this might be the way I am heading as I have 225/18/40 on the car at the moment with plenty of tread on. Thanks for all the info guys.
Got any pics?

9.5 s rub especially if you bought your car because it can corner
Ive modded Myn 05 plus wide trak is better as rears have a smaller lip so less issues

Would a 235/40 be the best size tyre for this size rim on a 114pcd 05 blob ?

RRP1STI

I got advice of a few people,some said no real benefit fitting 235,s,the very slight stretch you get with 225,s also helps with clearance on rears

Thanks everyone. . I really do like the 9.5" and looks like I don't need any arch rolling.

9.5Jx18 ET38 will need matey at least camber bolts,i would ask Mags for recommendations.But still think you will need run coilovers too and some spacers for Brembo,because my friend run 9.5J on his blob and he need at front spacers(3-5mm not sure)

Thanks for the info Jura. Pm mags already and yes he can supply camber bolts with wheels. Good info about the spacers, I just assumed that rota grid drifts cleared brembo's because no one ever mentioned spacers before.

I would ask Maggs about this,i know when my friend have fitted Rota Grid drift on his blobeye

We're running K-sport which are not chunky as Brembo

you will need a 3-5mm spacer to clear the brembos i forgot to add

L&G.scooby

Thanks mags. The good news is I am using a 3mm on the front and 5mm on the rear already
