Fitting wide wheels - Daniel306 - 19-03-2012
What needs to be done to fit 9" rear wheels and 8" front?
Re: Fitting wide wheels - cwspellowe - 19-03-2012
Well certainly not originality...
You'll need to space the rears to about ET -5 and the fronts to +5 and depending on tyre size and ride height possibly arch pulling and rolling
Re: Fitting wide wheels - Daniel306 - 19-03-2012
How will i work out the ET, Cant find any markings on them, and whats the standard tyre width for 8 and 9" rims?
Re: Fitting wide wheels - cwspellowe - 19-03-2012
Define standard? See pics in my project thread for heavily stretched tyres. 195 49 r16 on both 8 and 9j.
Et's work negatively, so if you add a spacer the ET goes down. A wheel et40 with a 20mm spacer makes it et20. An et10 with a 20mm spacer makes it ET-10.
Re: Fitting wide wheels - Daniel306 - 19-03-2012
know how to work out Et from this?
Front wheels are 210mm wide and are 120mm from inside rim to mating face
Rear are 235mm wide and 115 to mating face
Re: Fitting wide wheels - cwspellowe - 19-03-2012
ET+5
ET-2 (ish)
To calculate it, you want to use this equation:
(distance from inside wheel to mounting face) - (wheel width divided by 2) = offset
So front wheels 120 - 210/2 = ET+5
Rear wheels 115 - 235/2 = ET -2.5
So they'll be pretty much spot on at that offset and wheel width mate

:romance-heart: :romance-heartbeating: how much are these little butes?
Re: Fitting wide wheels - Daniel306 - 19-03-2012
Not sure, i got them when i bought that car, but it wont be going back on the road for a while so i though i put them to some use, but when it dose go back on the road it will have genuine dimma alloys, so far i have the two rear just need to front,
Re: Fitting wide wheels - kingy - 19-03-2012
are they reps? if not, are they for sale?
Re: Fitting wide wheels - cwspellowe - 19-03-2012
If they're 3 piece splits I doubt they're reps mate
Don't like them much myself tbh. But if you're fitting them to a 306, those tyres ain't gonna fly
Re: Fitting wide wheels - Daniel306 - 19-03-2012
those tyres have been flat since 2004 so they are not going on anything, just the rims im using, need to get tyres for them
the dimma alloys? the ones in the pic are genuine, they dont make them anymore tho http://www.imagewheels.co.uk/
Re: Fitting wide wheels - kingy - 19-03-2012
for sale?
Re: Fitting wide wheels - Daniel306 - 19-03-2012
i wont sell them, i dident like them much when i first seen them buy they have grown on me
Re: Fitting wide wheels - cwspellowe - 19-03-2012
If they're 15" i'd go for 195/45 front and 195/50 rear tbh. Or if you're hardcore go 195/40 for both, but would take some serious lows to pull that off with 15" wheels.
