Got Some New Wheels

[AlexCim]

Here are some photos of my new wheels

Work VS-KF

18x10 +20 rear with 235/40 tyres

18x9 +26 front 225/40 tyres

I am still to add a 25mm bolt on spacer on the fronts. Also lowering the rear 1 circlip (8mm) and front 2 circlips (1.6cm). In these photos I have my old wheels in the boot, thats why it sits at that height (which is the one I want)

Guards are completely stock, still have the lip. I am going to lip the rears as it rubs slightly over bumps. With a lip, it wont rub at all.

Will post up photos after lowering/spacing.

Gotta love dish like that!! Just need to make the centre piece of the wheel black and it'd be pr0n ... well IMO!

nice alex

although Im not a fan of the huge wide rears

for me, 18x9 all round would have worked nicely

:sorcerer:

look half decent tho dude

[leetom]

f**k me dead alex...

looks awesome...

[AlexCim]

I am not normally a fan of chromies either, but I think they suit.

I lowered the front 2 circlips but it didn't go that much. I left the rears, I am going to both of them as is. A little lip and it will be sweet on the rear

I probably wont lower the car beyond now as I still give it a thrash through mountains and I want to avoid bump steer/wheel smashing on front gaurd. The 25mm spacer at the front did wonders!

Going to look for a series 2 Dayz kit if anything, will probably wait to get off my P's for that (April)

Those wheels are mad Alex!

The fitment is not to my taste but I am an old man and scared from too many Kingswood rims being fitted to early model Commodores and sticking out past the guards...

I do see the point though, that is some great dish.

Lovely stuff, maybe put 235/40's on front & 2?5'/35's on back? <http://www.tyresave.co.uk/tyresize.html> Looks great in any event.

Cheers GW

[AlexCim]

haha, if anything I would put 215/45's on the front. The fronts now would hit the gaurd thats why I cant lower it too much beyond where it is.

The rears wont fit anything below 235/40 as I am only lipping the gaurd, I am not flaring/rolling it at all. 235's fit perfect under the rear gaurd.

You running yours RWD now Alex?

[Lil_Bobby_260]

holy shit!!! that looks so tough!!i want some! they are a NICE looking wheel. Not over thetop but have a mean stance. Car is coming along nicely!

what happens when you go over bumps? dont you get mad rubbing?

[darrinspencer]

Hang too far out the guards for my me

You running yours RWD now Alex?

No, I am not. But I don't give a shit about my gearbox anymore. Its dieing anyway and I want a manual box (I am of the theory, don't fix/replace until its TOTALLY rooted)

Slight rubbing on the rear at the moment, I am lipping my guard tonight (just bending the inside lip up, not flaring or rolling). Once that lip is bent up, HEAPS of clearance (What I deem as heaps )

The front wheels fit just outside the guard and my front shocks are pretty stiff (SK GB), as of yet to bottom them out. Either way, both wheels camber in to clear. The tyres on the front now are pretty square, even with a stretch (tread design). The next tyres should be more rounded.

My theory about fitting wheels is get the wheels first, then adjust the car around to suit. If thats with tyre stretch, negative/positive camber, lipping, rolling, flaring etc. All I checked on these was inner clearance to the shock, of which there was plenty both front and rear.

The fronts don't scrub inner or outer guards either.

it won't hurt your auto box, it would hurt the transfer case if anything and the operation of the AWD system. But 225/40 to 235/40 is bugger all difference in height, about 4mm. Even less with the stretch on the rear sidewalls. I doubt it will be a problem at all.

mr plod will like them too I reckon, as will an insurance company if you have an accident with tyres fitted to rims outside the maximum recomended width. hopefully it never comes to that.
