Think I Have Chosen My Wheels

[Trozzle]

I'd recommend having a look at my mate's R33 GT-R here in the Tuggers area (Greenway, very close by) if you're up for it, he's running 18" rims, not 100% on width and offset but the tyres are 285 and I'm gonna guess the offset is +15. Can give you an idea on what you're looking at.

[Deziner]

I have settled on the Varrstoen 111's in 18 x 9.5 +12.

Now for what is a really stupid question....Will I need different wheel nuts or will the stock ones fit?

[Trozzle]

Stock ones should fit mate, though consider perhaps buying new ones just for the look since old ones will probably look shit now You can get anodised (coloured) nuts

[Deziner]

Yeah was thinking red adonised ones to add a fleck of colour.

Cheers.

Did you get to test fit them?

I want to test fit a few wheels but don't know if somewhere in act does that

[Deziner]

No. No test fit.

I went to a couple wheel places today. Nothing that I even remotely liked.

Why do wheel places just sell bling crap????

Why do wheel places just sell bling crap????

Because that's what the ignorant bogans like

[Deziner]

Hahaha....They had a nice big shiny set of massive heart shaped one I should have tried on. LOL

Depends what you call a bogan, these days it means something different.

Black is the go.

Keen for this look

I'd like to see these on my Boss's Chrysler 300c SRT8

LMAO at those last wheels.

I feel compelled to say something about fixing flat tyres with Viagra.

Those wheels will fit easily, same size as mine, but they will not give that flushed look.

You may find that though the nuts fit you will scuff the wheels taking them on and off. I have some inner hex head nuts to resolve that problem.

[Hadouken]

For the perfect flush look, 18x10.5 +15 or 18x10 +12 for the next best thing

[a20089]

18x10.5 +15 needs tyres to be stretched or minor guard rolling. However easier to find then the 18x10 +12 I've found.

Not much advantage on a race track the slightly wider wheels anyway. Would be Ok for drags.

[Deziner]

Would a 18 x 9.5 +35 fit?

[Trozzle]

Will fit, but will sit very far inside the guards and won't look very good (in my opinion, and that of most others)

[Hadouken]

Would a 18 x 9.5 +35 fit?

no because it will look worse than the stock wheels did!

[Deziner]

Man I cant work out this offset business!!!!!

Use this

Just find an example of one you like and type that in then you can compare to others

Trouble is, if they stay up for more than 4 hours, you need to seek medical attention.
