Dr30 Wheel Fitment

[Xtek]

Lets See What you gus got for rims on your cars and Specs.....Looking to buy a set of rims next week and would like to see some example of how different sizes and offsets fit.

[Ghostrider]

You want FLASHY or practical?

Your car insured and do you intend it to stay that way??

You want deep dish look or most suitable???

For tyres, do you want economy or don't care about what you have to pay????

And do you want some ride quality or want to know the sixpense you drive over is heads or tales?????

All this and more has to be considered before you do anything with wheels.

haha way to over complicate a seemingly simple question Dennis

I think he might just want to know what other people are running to give him an idea is all

16 x 8, +38 offset will put them just inside the guards with either 245/45 or 225/50 tyres. 0 offset ...... forget it unless you got megga flares.

[Xtek]

So 16x7 With a +25 should fit pretty good?

[DR JOSH]

What type of fitment you chasing? Do you want an aggressive offset or???

This is my car when I bought it, with 15 x 7 +10 sits in quite a bit.

My car now a touch more aggresive 17" x 10" +20 on the rear, wheels are still easily in the gaurds currently has 235 stretched on but it can and has fit 275 with no scrub.

Im Looking For Something Pretty aggressive......If you can Fit 17x10 +20 Shouldnt I be Able to Fit 16x8 +0?

[frenchy89]

u can fit pretty much anything with a bit of work, x8 +0 will be fine

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

I wonder if this could possibly be correct?

And DR JOSH's 17 x 10 +20 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe, BUT!

The pics below are 16 x 8 +25 so you decide.

The tyres are 245/45 Yokohama A008RSII and they scrub on the top over any bump at any speed. I have to roll the inner guard & fit my coil overs fitted with 250+lb/in springs and wind them up to g'tee clearance, or do a big flare job on the guards. There is about 30mm clearance inside between tyre and trailing arm.

Cheers, D

Oh! And these are 16 x 8 +38 with 225/50 tyres.

Dennis, when is the DR ready to hit the track? Let me know your first outing and I will bring the TR8. I have a Supersprint mid April at Eastern Creek but always keen to squeeze in another track day.

cheers

I'm still waiting for the fuel rail to be made.

Was told yesterday it's being anodized so should be soon now, maybe! Yeehaa 770 injectors & lots of E85 force fed at about 20psi.

Then I'll get serious with that & the PNV. Changed the rear end on PNV today to the Koni & King show.

Ordered new front inserts today, so will be looking to have the Koni & King show all round.

Gotta have it ready for Adelaide, as I'm looking into freighting the DR and trailering the PNV so I can have some hot laps of Mallala.

Cheers, D
