Lowest offset / widest wheels on ct....post away!
I posted this over on the ct200h forums but got very few replies.
I've now seen a few pics of low offset wide wheels on the ct. Please post up your fender mods, along with the wheel specs.
I have some f sport tridents coming for now but I'd really like some of the new work emotion Kiwami wheels....
17x9 +38. Concave face

The thread i posted on ct forums
I saw another thread where someone with spacers and Tridents was essentially running 17x7 +11 and +21. So the x9 +45 would work. (outter Clarence, not positive on strut to inner wheel)
And the 17x9 +38's should work as well...,again depending on inner clearance. But as per another thread where someone was running 18x10's in the rear with -4deg camber, I'm pretty sure the 9" wide wheel will fit even with a lower (30ish mm) offset.

Fits really good, handles amazing and the whole stretch look on the back was way too much of a gamble on my nice rims. I needed to protect the lip from curbs as much as possible. I'll post some pics but it didn't change much excluding a proper fit and meaner look.

The lip of the rear rim is within mm of being perfectly flush with the body and the tires do not stick out at all. Last night was the first 15 miles on the set up. Full tank one passenger a few dips. No rubbing no hitting the rear fenders and the car feels glued on 65mph+ overpass turns. I should be able to post some good pics today. It fits almost exactly like my oem Isf wheels did with 285's on the rear. The weight can't be much more than what was already there but obviously additional.

You gonna rock 9.5 all te way around? Size and offset Should work fine. You will be basically 12.5mm wider on the inside and outside of each rim compared to my set up, but your offset will be +7mm more going towards the brake assembly. Any other offset options?

Yeah no point in staggering the setup, I'm never going to track the car. Wheels would be strictly for looks.
The only off the shelf 5x100 x9.5 raijin is listed as 45 offset. I'm sure custom drilling can be done on lower offset wheels if they are ordered right from Enkei.
Yeah I'm willing to order and try out the combo with 245 tires. Don't wanna go too wide and add too much unsprung weight...

I'm pretty sure it would be 13mm closer on the inside. Can you grab a pic with the suspension compressed of the inner clearance on your setup?
