What wheel do people recommend?
« on: June 05, 2013, 12:21:51 pm »
I'm after a new set of wheels for my car, what do people recommend!
I was initially after a set of ch's, but people said the 8.5 j width was too wide.

Thanks
George

I would have thought 8 - 8.5" wheels were perfect. as i have 8.5" on mine, and with 10mm wheel spacers  :happy2:

As for wheels, there is that many to choose from, it really depends on what you like!

have you had a look threw the wheel thread?

I thought 8.5 would be fine as well.
I had 19x8.5 rotiform blqs and they were fine, but apparently the et 35 is to low.

8 front 9 rears? That's what I initially wanted
What wheels are they?

Where would I get these?
You sure the 8.5 et 35's won't fit?

Just as a guide - 8.5x18 et35 running a 225/40/18 tyres. It looks close because it is, but I'm pretty low. Choices are raise it a little (but that's never going to happen) or go down to 215/40 or 215/35 tyres.

Hope tag helps?

Just in mid refurb (polished lip & dish, painted centre) along with 215/35 or 40 tyres, not sure how much clearance I'm going to need running this low. Ordered spigots, new wheel centres, just need to sort out longer wheel bolts next (not sure to go for 35mm or 40mm bolts) I've already got some black bolt covers too!!

Not rolled!! Just the bolt removed from the front and the tang folded back.
