15 INCHES AND PLENTY WIDE

[radojunkie 0]

Looking to get some fatty 15" alloy wheels posibly 8/9 inches upfront and 9/10 inches outback.

 

anybody have any suggestions on offsets, im currently looking at some compomotive split rims:

 

2no. 15" x 9": PCD of 4x 98, offset ET -7, 58mm centre bore, 110mm backspace.

2no. 15" x 10": PCD of 4x 98, offset ET -25, 58mm centre bore, 110mm backspace.

 

need wobbly bolts but anything else to make them fit apart from some arch work.

 

Know of any other wheel options??? want to get rid of my oz futuras (staggared 17's)

I think thats an understatement. Ive got pulled arches and have ET22 9in rears on and the wheel still sits slightly proud of the arch.

:lol: yeah i know but 1 of my arches needs cutting and welding so i figured with and extra inch on each arch front back and sides then clearence wouldnt be too much of an issue?

 

would a negative et fit on a c tho? or am i just hoping for too much?

one question tho, where do you get the blades for these wipers you put on the car, desperatly need a change now :lol:

 

p.s. take some piccys of the new beast, you show me yours and il show you mind! :gag:

Using my phone at the minas still awaiting sky to fix our Internet so can't hear the soindclips. But look forward to it. Do miss the charger whine! Drove new vr back to tonight,pulls nice and sounds lovely. I'll have to give it a good clean and take pics.

 

Got the wipers from a polo I think? Did the aero wiper as suggested on here. There shod be a receipt for them mate when I bought them, you should be able to get new aero bladesfrom halfords or something? And yeahlove to supercharged this but got few things to do first lol.

Those rears your planning are goin to poke by 5cm plus... Seriously, if u want 10s keep the et as close to 0 + as possible...

 

Oh and your goin to need mega arches! I think 9s and 10s with et 15 and 0ish would sit pretty good with some arch work!

No, they wont fit unless you fully wide arch it. :lol:
