Low offset rims

[vspec]

I'm driving Toyota Mark X 250G. Not sure about tire recommendation, maybe can try GT Champiro HPY, there's already a good review done by VR2 (one of ZTH active forumers), and he said it's very good value for money. I myself is now using 17' Goodyear Eagle F1-D5 which is quite good but a bit noisy. My first choice at the time was actually Yokohama Advan Sport but turns out a bit more expensive.

You also driving a monster there lah bro

i'm using lancer gt. Bought a set japanese use rim with size 18x 8.5j, it come with 225/45/18 tayar...but 225 look like not wide enuff for 8.5j wide. Adjust pls.
Thanks

225/45 for 8.5J rims is maximum width, best is 7.5 to 8. 235/45 can but overall diameter is slightly bigger and for 245 have to use 40 series as in 245/40R18. Better check whether enough space in wheel well. Rear for scrubbing and front for full turn.....

Thnx n rgrds

Conversation to 17" must be of right tyre size. If only 205/45 stick to 7J enough....

Secondly, when you mention current rubber, do you mean 205/45R16, then cannot as rim size is different.

no need la... can still use 205 with 8jj.

there are even people who use this setup for track.... if i get 8jj oso ill be running 205 n will be using it for track oso....

can check here for an example of 15x8 n tire fitments

http://949racing.com/15x8-6ul-black.aspx

by the way....where to find 15*7.5?? got ah? wats the offset?

if can find 15*8 +35 would be damn nice...but all the 15*8 taiwan rims here come with stupid offsets :(

Many like to bloat their sidewall that way, but it will wear more of the shoulder pattern faster.
Moreover, you seldom can get wide tyres in 15", 18" of course will have wide tyres.....

bro 6UE5t , thanks for ur info. May i what car u r driving? any recommended tayar if i wanna change to 235/40/18. budget around RM500-RM650 per piece.

Yup, GT Radial HPY have that size, and maybe Archilles ATR Sports 2

Bro ur too modest...d car's got d looks n d go....

Btw....wats ur opinion aka advice if:
- 7.5jj
- 8jj (mayyyyybbeeee)
- 9jj (tho x likely).....

Looks maybe ok lah, but not so much go, still quite slow actually (that's why the wife still approves!)
Probably 7.5jj max.

You also driving a monster there lah bro

Aiya, seriously, still slow car lah bro, no where near real monsters like Evo etc.!

Well that regamaster in the link is 16 also. :)

Anyway yeah, 7.5jj max already if you still want to use your 205 tires. Actually it's easy to calculate.
7.5inch x 2.54 = 19.05cm. Add about 1cm of lip thickness , then you got around 20cm of rim width. So using 205 tire (20.5cm width) is just even already.

For 205/45R16 the best is 7J, min 6.5J and Max 7.5J
Why this is so, because you have 45 series aspect ration sidewall which is shorter or less, so cannot bend too much in or out.
For example 205/50R16, best can be 6.5J or 7J, min can go until 6 or even 5.5 but max still 7.5J

hey guys.
i just bought a new preve. thinking wanna change a new rims. I always love rota coz of the concave look.

plan to buy 17x9jj 35offset. i wonder will it fit in without any trouble in preve arches? thx

 

[DanzEterna]

offset 25 or 35? should be 25 rite?
u need a set of adjustable suspensions.

For FWD, 35 should be level with body or slightly out, 25 will come out.....

I think it's too wide for your car.

I think it's too wide for your car.

9J cannot get the right tyres to fit....

 

[DanzEterna]

mine 9jj offset 37 sits right in my perdana fenders. but now having 8mm spacers behind,
previously using 255 40 17, when hit a bump it wont knock the fenders. now using 245 45 17 it does hit the fenders when masuk
pothole.

Huge rear tyres, most of the VR4 using 235/45R17 only....

 

[DanzEterna]

but i prefer the 255/40 rather than the 245/45........

Aquaplane or not with 255 size?

 

[avaultz]

yea.. i doubt that 9jj can fit in my preve.

but rota only offer 17x9jj.. this is bad.. if got 17x8jj offset 35- offset 38 would be great. at least i still can get the concave looking rims.

any suggestions or tips guys without interupting the handling and comfort? been using adjustable for past 6 years, now seeking for comfort ride with cool looking rimx =(

found this pic on the net,but too many modifications needed such camber,roll fender,spacer for this big size rims and stance looking.
