alloy wheel size and max width

Recommended Posts

Iam currently running rota grid drifts all round 245/45/18 on 9.5j width although they look good I feel as the fronts are sticking out the arches very slightly. Just wanted to see what others were running and max width you would recommend 

cheers👍

Are you lowered? Adding a bit more front camber will bring them in.

Running stock at moment would like to lower in future maybe tucking in the camber would help! May have to look at a good set of coilovers.

Some camber will definitely help. You could always get some camber bolts and fit them with the stock struts to start with.

You can get some camber bolts for around £15. Would solve you issues. However, you'd need to get it aligned once you fit them to set them up correctly.

Nice one didn't realise you could get these! Take it somewhere like Fensport will sell these. If these tuck them in enough may get away with just lowering springs rather than coilovers. 

Thanks for the advice👌

Lowering springs and some camber boilts would be fine unless you want to spend a lot on coilovers. that's what I have on mine.

You aren't miles away from RRG Macclesfield who know their stuff on the geometry and have seen quite a few setups now.

I just had a look at Fensport and i couldn't find them. But had a look on eBay and there are plenty on there. They are a couple of £ dearer than what i remember though.

Those of you running 9.5's and lowered on coilovers: what ET should people be considering? 30/32/25/38 seems to be the primary options?
