rim / tyre size on cefiros

[kursed]

hey i'm thinking of getting 19's with the following tyre specs:

225/35/19

will they fit under the lowered cef easily? I should be able to have a test fit but just want to know if it's worth trying.

will they still be legal?

cheers!

FAT.

Got pics?

I'd say you need to roll your guards atleast. Probably spacers at the front. And a "fat" offset.

My rims are 18x7.5 (or 8.5) and the front needed 20mm spacers to fit (the guards are already rolled).

They wear 225/50/18 I believe. (Could be 235/45/18 can't remember).

I reckon I could fit 19's with 35 profile so if you want to test fit on a cefiro with spacers and rolled guards I volunteer mine (save you rolling your guards only to find you cant put the wheels on). I'd love to see my car with 19's (the 18's don't look big enough ehh heh so for a dumped look if I could I'd get 20's).

As for legality without engineering I don't know. I never was able to work out the proper thing (even after reading the RTA document about it) but... Duncan explains it pretty well here.

The actual RTA docs are here - http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/dow...si/vsi_dl1.html

And the wheel/tyre guide is here - http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/dow.../vsi09_rev4.pdf

Good luck

Whether the rims fit will depend highly on the offset and width of the rims.

Given the tyres you are planning on using, i'd guess they are 8 or 9inch. If you get the correct offset, then they should fit fine with some guard rolling..

the rims are 7.5 wide, with either an offset of ET20 or ET42 - these are the manufacturers specs but the guy with the wheels hasn't checked - they were on an R31 skyline so does anyone know which offset it is likely to be?

cheers!

this is what i have gathered from rta site and another forum.

stock wheel size ...according to my cefiro (which has a wheel placard) ..is 15 x 6.5 wheels with 205 /65/ 15 tyres.

legally without a engineering certificate u can only go 1 inch wider and a max of 15 to 20 mm larger in total wheel and tyre diametre size......so u could have 18s on but lows profile tyres of 35 or 40 or something like that ....check it againt one of those tyre size calculators....this is this is one

the rta website says for enineering ....they can only go up to 2 inchs wider that the extra inch i think ...which would be another 3inchs to the width of the stock rim ......

thats how i read it anyway...

I recently got rims on mine with no spacers.

Front and rear have been rolled slightly

18 x 7.5 (offset +32) on front with 225/40/18

18 x 8.5 (offset +32) on rear with 255/35/18

I start to get the fronts rubbing on full lock, and not much room at the rear.

They seem to be a pretty perfect fit.

oOOo kursed is getting dubs on his virgin ceffy!

i have 18 x 7.5

post pics of the wheel, or type,

i want new wheels,

just so i can interchange them for how my pimp lean is feeling...

i want some mesh high polish steel with the lowrider gold spinner in the centre =) drooool

[PIMP_DAT]

these are the rims i thinking of getting. +5 and plus +6 offset, WTF does that mean i have no idea i am getting wide body front but dont know about the back. are these going to be hard to fit?

sorry for changing topic a bit kursed

[someonestolecc]

Wow 9 and 10.

PHAT.

[Mr Eps]

put it this way pimpdat you wouldn't wanna lower your car too much with 10 inch on the rear, especially with 9 inches on the front, but if you're going for the "pimmped out" look then they'd look quite porngraphic on a cefiro

[StilledCefiro]

i had 17x10 wheels on my cefiro for motorvation this weekend

they had a gtr offset(i have 5 stud conversion)

they was just tooooooooo wide on the rear and my guards are rolled slightly, i had to dial heaps of neg camber to get them to fit

but on the front it was fine the offset allowed for everything to clear and they only stuck out a little bit

so the offset is the most important thing

[dangerous_daveo]

Also just to throw a spanner in the works... I think you need to make sure the wheels also clear your brakes, as I know my front ones without spacers, I cant even put the nuts on the wheel properly. But umm, 19s dude... Think about that, they arent really a practical size wheel.

dubs are 20's dude!

But umm, 19s dude... Think about that, they arent really a practical size wheel.

yeah i know! but 19's!!!! argh. spoof. well basically i found a set for a good price and i am doing a bit of cefiro group research, so these opinions are welcome. unfortunately they are not in nsw so i need to go somewhere that stocks the rims and trial fit them... i think tempe would have em. I may just end up with 18s but the wheel arches are so wide on the cef i think they will look like 17s

pimp dat those rims are fkn FATTER than kirstey alley after a pie eating contest.

good luck getting your ride lowered over those though.

[Mr Eps]

"dubs" will be whatever i say they are dagnabbit! :wassup:

kursed i have 18x 7.5 on my car and it's sitting quite low, (QUITE low)

tell me if they look like 17s?

[BasketCase]

I have 235/40/18 on mine heres a pic for your veiwing enjoyment - I just threw these on and didn't roll any guards, they don't scrub at all - but there is a possibility that it was done before I got the car.

Your car looks like it has 19's - my 18's look way smaller.
