15s on KE70 ??

[vince_869]

know most people would say that 15s looks too big on ketos!
bt does anyone have some flush looking pictures of stretched/15s
or even 14s 8j 8.5j+
am contemplating on which rim size to purchase for skids vs looks
please show me your pictures..
cheers

i run 15s, just 7 and 7.5 need more offset

was 215/45 easy to get?

[Kid Karola]

195/45 on 15x7 (or wider) would be sweet on a E7 but 14x8 is max win.

[Mouwt]

I'd say keep it 14s for the look and dorifty fun and 15s for track/control/feel I run 15x7 on my charmant (Same thing as a ke70) and it handles really well, have some negative offset too so they dont look huge, one good way to make them look less MASSIVE is to lower the piss out of your car. That is all.

[DAN-86]

But they dont look massive :S

Had 15's on the KE70 i had, now i got 15x7.5 +4 mesh on the front of my KE55 and i think it looks hot. waiting on a wider pair for rear

[driftke70]

14s, if you want more grip, get semis.

[86coupe]

Mine looked hot as with 15's! :yeah:

[Clinton]

you cant get a decent height with 15s on a ke70. it just doesnt look right.

slanty fronts can pull them off ok though i guess...

leave 15s for kits

[anastasios]

yeaa u need some offset on that bitch

[Instigator]

Ageed, but it's down the list of priorites at the moment. The car I posted needs a new motor and I just finished a 20v conversion -> AE95.


leave 15s for kits

wtf are kits?

[todd]

body kits.

15s just dont look right on ke70. leave them for the 86 boys :)

[45KIDS]

13's and 14's win. Im not a big fan of 15's... can't go low enough.

Real ballers roll on 13s. ;) Here's mine.

I personally think to pull off 14s, you need lower tyre profiles. Look pretty monster truck like otherwise..

[rthy]

That's cool. Where are your wheel nuts at?

marvis.

real ballers dont use wheel nuts

[Golberg]

14's = looks
15's = performance

Well said.

[benzo]

15s = looks and performance and allow bigger brakes which again = performance

14s = looks and thats about it

false

as has been said FC calipers fit behind 14s, and the difference in performance is very minimal

Ueo, a previous D1GP champion, has always run 14s on his 86. He seems to perform 'ok'

14s are best, look tough while retaining grip

15s can suit slant front, but I'll have 14s anyday

[ke_70]

15s r good 4 daily spec i rekon like mine has a good mix of lowness vs cop attention
but 14s if u wanna go that little bit lower

[rthy]

tyre = performance
wheel size = looks

imo = personal preference
thats why we have ns and http://www.hyundaiperformance.com/

[Ryan]

That's cool. Where are your wheel nuts at?

marvis.

It was just a test fit of the wheels after painting them. The finish was still a bit soft. :)


real ballers dont use wheel nuts

Haha. Something like that, I guess. ;)

[shinobi]

Both 14's and 15's look dope.. 14's slam the car too much and defect city..

[Kid Karola]

To fit 14 or 15 in an 8 you're going to have to pump the guards to fit and get a decent stance.
Also lol at performance advantage, considering more then likely crappy 2nd hand tyres will be fitted regardless.

[corknose]

13 ftw

[driftke70]

not that much height difference in a 195 55 15 and a 185 60 14 hey

[Konakid]

195/50 and 185/60 have same rolling diameter within a few mm.

[Kid Karola]

yeah like 0.3% difference in Overall Diameter between 185/60R14 and 195/50R15 (might vary a little between tyre manufacture or tread style) just tyre profile and stretch will effect fitment and guard clearence.

[AE86DORI]

13 ftw

haha ftw

185/55/14 WINNAR!

they do... i didnt mention anything bout fc brakes

i was referring to fitting bigger brakes as in, you will fit bigger brakes under a 15 than a 14

u can fit z32 tt brakes under a 15 inch rim, apart from the fail of offset and big bolt on spacers u have to run to fit wheels over the caliper as it sticks out lots it will pull up on a dime

i think 15s look better on most but 14s look ok

i prefer the higher ride height and smaller guard/tyre fitment


then its practical and still looks good

[rthy]

i lol at everyones uber failness

[Bonsai]

on my KE I have some of the ugliest 15 by 7 at the front with horrible offset so have 5ml spacers. They stick nicely to the road but got full lock(got lock spacer too) on the track and possibly a bit of body roll and ripped a strip almost all the way around the tire on my chassis rail. Never had that running all 14's. Any takers as to what caused this?
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/7/9/0/14736.jpg

Have 14's all round on my Ae71, looks good to me. Agreed on the monster truck look without low profile! (mine need lower profile)
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/7/9/0/12089.jpg

[ae86]

i recently just moved to 185/60/14 up to 195/50/15's id post a pic but 86 wasnt what was requested, its more of an illusion i think tha sometimes the 15'sjust appear to make it look like theres lots more gap for you to lower your car so really doesnt work unless you have a kit which i now need =(

[Robo86]

14s. if you cant get enough grip with 14s your either doing it wrong or you have 200kw. /end thread.

[ae71neo]

Agree robo. I have plenty of grip using 14's. If its drifting try other shit like pinion angle, tyre pressures, brand of tyre etc.

My front 185/60 adrenalins grip fine.

[driftke70]

14s. if you cant get enough grip with 14s your either doing it wrong or you have 200kw. /end thread.

:worried:

[ae71neo]

Or go semi slicks...

[Konakid]

yeah word up!

[sundee]

who ventured into bankstown to take that photo?
ive been thinking.. (note just thinking) of going 16's on my car.. eventually.. with the bigger rolling diameter i should get more out of corner acceleration at higher speeds..

[Robo86]

i think you gotta put some things into perspective, saying things like i should get more out of corner acceleration at higher speeds is a bit much, considering there's barley anyone on this forum who actually goes to the track (not having a stab, just stating) let alone someone that has a car setup thats so developed (and a driver thats good enough to lay down perfect laps time after time) that you can gain 0.2 of a second by running 16s

14 looks better, handles fine.
15 looks oversized without a kit, the only plus is what brendan said about wheel fitment

[sundee]

thats a fair call i guess, but it all depends on what purpose u want your car for.. really this topic could be split into road or track, ive seen 1st hand the effect of going to 16's or even 17's on a track car ... and it makes alot of difference... anyway each to their own

[Robo86]

oh yer of course man, but this is to do with OUR cars (basic coils/diff few roise joints etc).

[corey70]

its just personal preference really, dependss wat sorta look your after. im running 15's but my car is built for me so its what i like not what someone else prefers... look at some pics of cars with the different sizes, choose wat you like best and go with it :)

[n00bvak]

nothin beats 15's

and who says you cant get them low!!!!

I posted a couple shots of Tetsujin's old KE on page 1 that were on my USB, but I found the shots I was looking for. Perfect stance and wheel combo. 14x8J -12ish Falken 185/55/14 - It is wicked decent!

All those poo-pooing 15's Roo's car looks rad with 15's, maybe a touch lower at front -1/2" and +1/2" at the back to even out. Nip tuck.

but they changed to what looks like 14x8.5 -13

[sundee]

pure perfection!!! im in love

[rthy]

one thing that shits me about 15's is they make the brakes look small, i know the brakes are small but the 14's give them the not so small look lol

[R&D Mechanical]

The only reason to add bigger wheels is to clear big brakes.

I wish i got 14's but you need the right size tyre on a 15 to make it work

while a ke can still look awesome with 15's i can't see hwo anyone can say it wouldn't look a little better with a nice 14, unless you've got brakes that don't fit or want to get in competition driving whether it's drift or circuit type stuff 14's ftw

you cant beat 13's for style/lowness

195 50's on that pair, i have another pair, 10 neg 38 centerline style that run 205 50's aswell.

You prefer the 195's or the 205's? I've gotta get new tyres for my 10's might stay 195 but with a lip protector.
