Size For The Rims

[mrfai]

I just want to know 17x7JJ, 5x114.3 PCD and possibly a +42 offset from m35 rim and tyres are 215/55/17 will fit in my S2 or not.

Thank you

i have 18x7.5JJ +42's on my s2 and they fit fine

but they sit in the guards a bit (rs4s, narrower rear cradle) so they will fit but will not fill the guards much

I think they'll end up too far inside your guards with that offset, won't look very nice, I'd look for something with an offset of at least +30 and around 8" wide.

[mrfai]

So can someone tell me what is the offset rate for my original S2 rims which is 205/55/16

[mrfai]

Also i can see the original Rim sit inside the guard but it is ok for me. So if i put the rim with +42offset will ever worest or it will be same at the original rim

[lachlanw]

it will look disgusting . like stupid . you factory wheels would have been +30

[pistol-pete]

they wouldnt even fit i dont think. theyd probably hit your strut towers

[QWK32]

they will fit but wont look too good. my car came over from japan with 17 x 7" rim and around a +45 offset. tire was a 225 50 R17 and i had no trouble with the tire hitting the strut so a 215 will be fine. the fronts sat in the front guard by a mile lol. the rears where better but still sat in a little.

so to answer your question, yes it will fit. but if you have a choice hold off for a rim with a better offset. i'm now running a +30 offset rim and they sit in the front guards ok, rears sit perfect once lowered. car is a auto S2.

[mrfai]

thank you for everyone. And i install the rim already and and i think is not too bad coz I get the rim so cheap. i am happy with my new rims.

Just yesterday I fit 19x8s on the front wearing 235/35 with no dramas at all

19x9.5s fleshed the back sporting 245x35s.

Wouldnt fit with standard springs but the coilovers allowed for them (just, I put on an 8mm spacer to stop the rubber skimming the strut on corners, and only because I couldnt source a 5mm spacer)

Steam rollin!

With a lip roll on the back there will allow enough clearance to slam it down another 20mm (stock ride height atm)

You might have problem with different rolling diameters front to rear. . . .

[Oddy man]

rolling diameter should be the same?

Just widths are different... proving a smooth ride so far..

sorry mate but the rolling diameter will be different. having a 35 profile tyre means that the side wall is 35% of the width, therefore if you have a wider tyre, the sidewall height increases in proportion with the width increase. 235/35 = 82.25mm sidewall. 245/35 = 85.72mm sidewall. which means you have a 7mm difference in tyre height. this may be enough to cause trouble.
