The Wheel Fitment Thread

[blair]

Can we get this thread back on track?

It's supposed to be a guide for people, not somewhere to ask dumbass questions.

The post above is almost 100% what every post should be.

Wheel specs - Diameter, width and offset.
Tyre Specs - Width and profile
Suspension specs - All modifications from standard that affect position of wheel/tyre relative to car (struts, control arms, castor arm settings, spring heights/rates etc)
Guard Specs - Stock/rolled/flared/bolt-on's/Weld-on's etc.

im running 185/60 achillies on 14x7j on the front, before that i let someone at the tyre shop choose because i had low funds and they put a 175/65, the front grip defference was rediculously comprimised with the 175, ill never run it again, on the rear, i got scrappy 175/65s atr the monent, in the dry they are fine, soon as the road is even slightly greasy its a shocking (shit enough to cost me a car), even before my locker went in its was a joke, stretch on the front is purely a looks thing anyways, stretching fronts just sacrfices everything from grip to ride, and they wear differently also.

Just got my Equip 01's on my AE86 this week.

WHEELS: Work Equip 01's
SIZE AND OFFSETS: Front - 15x8 -3 offset
Rear - 15x8 -13 offset
GUARDWORK - Lip'd and slight flare with a guard roller
SUSPENSION - Adjustable height coilovers at all 4 corners (GREDDY kit) 8kg Front/6kg rear, Standard LCA's
FRONT ALIGNMENT - Camber -2
Castor +4
Toe 0

Wheels dont scrub at this height, but my suspension is fairly stiff with my setup. The front could actually easily go lower, just haven't had the time for optimal adjustment this weekend. Can only run 195's/50's or less, other wise scrubbing/fucking guards will occur

^ good post

looks good

do the wheels touch the front bumper?

[maxhag]

Not now. When I first got the alignment with MAX castor (+6) it did. Got it moved back to +4 and its fine now....

[McLEVIN]

cheers maxhag,

good post

i'm wanting 8in and i was worried about scrubbing and all that

[Slimer86]

Mine sits very close to Maxhag's rears (15x8 -15) but have slightly more tyre detail scrubbing.
McLevin, if you want to try (testfit) the above wheels, PM me, see if you like the size and offset, and get an idea that way.

Maxhag, is that with rear adjustable panhard rod installed?

[maxhag]

Yeah, whiteline adjustable rod..... Might mention that I have an R31 rear diff housing etc, which has been slightly shortend, that said, it would make the track differant to people with a T series...

[Futal]

How much difference does it make? I've been looking at the same fitment but with-3 on all 4 have you shortened the rear by 10mm? I have a t series

-AE86 coil-overs (8/6kg)
-XT130 lcas
--2.5 camber, +4.5 castor, +1.5 toe
-~25mm at crossmember
-13x8 -13 Mk2
-175/60 F: Advan Neova AD06, R: Toyo Trampio
-lips rolled, small pull
-no rub! Ideal set-up



-AE86 coil-overs (8/6kg)
-XT130 lcas
--3 camber, +6 castor, +3 toe
-~25mm at crossmember
-14x8.5 -13 Watanabe Type-R
-185/55 F: Potenza RE-01, R: 595 Super Steel
-F: lips rolled flat, pulled as far as poss, cut guards for castor. R: KE70 front guards welded on, lips trimmed off, no pull.
-Not ideal set-up ahah -> *F: rubbed at top on bumps + top on lock. Lock > would hit in front of wheel and behind wheel, had bashed them as much as possible. Needed tubs.
R: barely 'touch' on big bumps (though very stiff dampers), Very little wheel travel (tyre 10mm from top of inner guard). Probably also needed tubs.
