How to fit 15x9 on ke70?

[slowKeto]

What things do i need to squeeze in the 15x8's in my ke70?

[s13 james]

huh?15 by 8 with 0 offset will fit just bash the square lip flat so it dosent slice up your tyres and use 195 50 15 tyres,15 by 9 will need a bit of pull 15 by 9 is a big wheel on a ke

These are 15x8, idk the offset.

Will they?

[s13 james]

jack your car up and see ,i duno, hope they do and look sweet,bit risky buying shit not knowing the details

[sundee]

Just measure the wheel, then take your wheel off the car, put some bricks under the LCA so it's at ride height, measure distance from hub mounting face to guard flare, and compare to wheel specs worked out, done.

If its a 15 x 8 , they look around a zero offset,
If not , it won't require much guard work to make them
Fit.

8 up front and 9 on rear is nice IMO

[sundee]

Ps those achillies atr's need to be pumped up hard, sidewalls are very flimsy! Even when stretched

[Jacobxxx]

as said, 15x8 -+ 0 is easy, lip guards. Done

[maxhag]

They look like the China steelies that I am seeing alot these days.... They are 15x8 0 offset...

Thats an example pic. Lol

probably will get tires that can handle small stretch and fit with the stock struts

[sundee]

yeah just thought id let you know... i tried them at my last track day, you can feel the sidewall flex under you, and when compared to my re001's ( when both not fitted ) its apples and oranges... could have made the achillies side walls out of a good orange jelly... would have been just as affective, just tasty ;)

That a joke?

EDIT: Wait, your not using them on the front are you?

[s13 james]

why is the title 15 by 9 on ke70 when your asking if 15 by 8 fit?

[nichy]

pics of fitment? have been thinking this but still unsure about 15inch on a ke.

Typo

[s13 james]

fair enough

[sundee]

No no, no joke, and definatly not using them up front,
I'll post a little vid to show you what I'm talking about

That's 15x8 on my old KE it was ridiculously low!!
That was after 'pumping' out the guards with a baseball bat.. Haha

[sundee]

offset on above pic?

[Seventy]

offset on above pic?
pretty sure they were 15x8 -+0 and obviously on the rear

[sheppo]

Yeah no offset just 15x8 +0 and yes on rear.. Fitment is better on my new KE as it is higher

[sundee]

Here is a vid of what i was talking about with the sidewall flex.
1st tyre is the achillies atr sport... im about 80 - 85 KG, im not even pushing hard to make the side wall flex

at about the 40 sec mark i head over to the Re001,
When i lean on it with my palm the 2nd time i put all my weight on it ( hence the grunt )

watch to the end, you can see the best comparison i think.
yeah its done by feel but its accurate enough.

and even when its a 195 stretched on a 10 and pumped up to 46 psi i could feel them flex under my butt,
at least they dont delam.

Lol cheers for the video,

But yeah, the tyres are what option1garage have as an example.
If i get the wheels, they wont have those tyres

[matt99]

I think you missed the point, your comparing a $60 tyre to a $130 tyre, what did you expect. That aside, I absolutely love the Achilles and will continue to run the ATR sport on the rear and will be testing the 123 on the front soon.

Slowketo, your shit will fit, just might need a lip and slight pull if any.

Ah there is no "point", just a sidewall comparison. i think you didnt read the whole thread, i was just letting him know what those tyres are link and that is all.
you like them, i think the side walls are flimsy and shit. they flex like all hell, running them on the front would be the most epic fail in the world! unless your running stupidly high tyres pressures and then thats fail because you are just reducing your contact patch
tyres must be cheap in your neck of the woods
cheapest ive got them for is $85 and i brought 20 of them... retail in sydney is $120/tyre for a 15 or 16"

[Archie4812]

im running 16x8s on my ke70 and they mint, will require some gaurds work at least

This is how 16x8 -0 sit on my car, tyres are 195/45

Yeah, there was a point, you cant throw those two tyres into the same basket, one is renowned and hi performing, and the other is cheaper/Chinese/Indo/budget performer. You get what you pay for.

Yes, they are cheap, visit Inverse tyres on facebook. Will be about $75 to you I would assume, cheaper if you buy 24, matbe $65ea.

I ended up with watanabes.

[nichy]

In nice sizes? Jelous

steelies are a great way to figure out any fitment issues and are also a cheap rim, beats going out and spending heaps on "real steelies"

[s13 james]

steelies are balls,there is more than enough information on this site about what can fit on 86,70's without purchasing steelies to test for fitment issues?

[Jacobxxx]

Im pretty glad i crushed that car

[jay70]

how could you do that to such a fine piece of automotive engineering?? lol

finally the nightmares may end
