Help re: WORK wheels

[Nardi330]

As Nafe said that size would fit without much issue. there wont be much concave style tho as most wheels require 9" to have concave style. Unfortunately we are not familiar with SA road rules so you will have to check yourself.

If I am correct, this would give you (x4) wheels with the deeper dish (like the rears on that white BRZ in the picture). Is that right?

I am not familiar with those wheels to tell you of you will get dish from them. Each wheel design is different in dish/concave vs offset and whether or not it changes with said offset

I would personally recommend getting a handle on the car before you modify suspension and tyre setup. I'd also really, really second the recommendation that you look at some stuff on how it'll affect your handling/etc., remember that overtyring this car will make it slower (C&D in the US did a special, in fact, where wider tyres on larger rims slowed it down over better tyres in the stock size).

And yeah, doublecheck with your local RTA. The setup I'm running appears legal externally but I live in a fairly small town so I'll get away with it. The 86? that'll be getting legal wheels and tyres, 17x8" wheels and 225s, not sure on brand yet. If you're looking for dish/lip (increased distance between hub and edge of wheel), just be careful.

Sorry for thread jack, but has anyone powder coated/plasti dipped the stockos black, white, red or any other uniform colour?
I think the stock wheels in black would look awesome, ESP if they have a polished lip (I'm a fan of mat black mulity spokes with polished lips lol)

+38, +47 etc etc is the off set, you need something from +38 to +50 depending on your wheel width, and how much "poke" you want.

Personally out of these wheel sizes I'd go with 18x8.5 5x100 +38

Hey mate,

JDM concept offer these wheels in 18x8.5+30.

If I am not mistaken, will these concave in more than +38's? (without going to a wide tyre in 9.5).

Cheers

Yes, they will concave more than a +38, but it won't be by much.
I might consider 8.5 +30 as well

[Nardi330]

Hey, u dont need to quote 3 times. When ppl see this thread they will reply.

Anyway what model work wheels you are referring to?

If its CR Kiwami then to have the concave of 9.5" u must run 9.5". The face is the same regardless of offset for each width.

But for some wheels, offset may change the face of the wheel.

They are the Emotion Ultimate.

So, what would you suggest changes with the +30 and +38? Not much?

I am under the impression that 9.5's will run more tyre, and as a result, will throw off the speedo by like 1km/hour. Also, will make the car more sluggish. Is this true?

[Nafe]

Well tyre size will affect speedo, yes. How much it is affected will depend on what size you use.
The 9.5s will increase unsprung weight more than 8.5s, and going to 18's can affect how "responsive" or how quickly it accelerates. In most cases you won't really notice it though.
