Ade 517 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 Just my two cents on rim choice: Moving away from the stock et48 will affect the relationship between scrub radius and tyre centre patch. Moving out (lower offset for more poke) will make the car understeer a bit more. Adding camber to the front pushes the scrub radius out slightly. Off the top of my head I think if you have 1.5 degree of camber you need to reduce wheel offset by 8mm to keep the same relationship between scrub raduis and tyre centre patch.

Interesting point, but for 95% of the people that change their wheels they won't be bothered about this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ade 517 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 That is true smudge, but rather than assume they are not bothered, I just want to make it clear sometihng is being compromised by messing with the wheel offsets.

Deacon 1357 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 Again, most people won't be bothered but it also puts more strain on the suspension when lowering the offset of the wheels and increasing the width. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smudge 1020 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 But let's not forget, more poke and camber looks awesome too 1 Tweedbean reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tweedbean 151 Report post Posted April 24, 2015 Ha it is a very rare size to be fair. Don't think they guy is going to accept the offer so the search continues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tweedbean 151 Report post Posted April 30, 2015 Quick question does anyone know if you can fit 4x 18x8 wheels and 4x 225 40 18 tyres in the back of the 86? Can the wheelsthen fit in the back once tyres are on?I have the tyres and wheels being delivered to me then I need to get them to a tyre place to get them fitted, then the wheels back to mine ready to fit once coilovers are on.

rob275 1817 Report post Posted April 30, 2015 Yes, if you stack them they should just fit. It will be tight though. 1 Tweedbean reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rob275 1817 Report post Posted April 30, 2015 You will need to stack atleast one on top so get something to protect the faces like a towel 1 Tweedbean reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
remal 85 Report post Posted May 18, 2015 Ok save me starting a new thread I searched and found this to ask a few questions After meeting a few of your at Japfest last weekend the wife wants alloys. Only taken me 6 months and after seeing all the other 86's with lovely alloys she said we need some. Great A few questions. What do I need to know when buying new wheels for the 86 if I go for the standard 17" x 7". Offset etc.. 17x7 et48 for the edit Also what I need to do if I go 18" x 8" offset.
