Hi all,

I have got an offer on some nice rims. They are 8,5" ET55 in the front and 10" ET60 rear. My concern is the the rims, will they hit anything inside the wheel arches? I know they will be 1,409 cm nearer the fender than original which might be OK

Please help me! If there's enough room I will buy it right away


Thanks, TheDane

going to have to get some 20mm spacers for the front I know right off cause you will hit the suspension. back at 60et is no good either. Just no. No Dane

TheDane

Argh crap.... What offset is your Sport Cross original? Mine is ET50....... Thinking about if there is a difference between the US and EU models...?

Zstuddin

7.5 et 50 front is stock i believe. your car rhd?

You will hit suspension. Stay away.

Stock sportx is 7"+50 and 7.5"+55

Mine is as Sway says. 7" +50 and 7,5" +55 (I thought it was +50 rear though) and LHD

Funny. I found an IS200 here en Denmark. It has the exact same rims that I wanted and it fits in the back, and it is lowered with coil overs. But I have made the decision that I won't do it, because the front has to be made over. Longer bolts because of a 10mm spacer, inner fenders has to be modified and worst of all; the rims is like a ball in the holes and has to be concave which I do not prefer..

But here's a link to the car, think it looks pretty cool!

Not a fan of those 19s but like the before wheels better.

TheDane

I have the other ones on my Corolla just in another color
Well, too much has to be done to make the wheels fit.. So thats not for me anyways, don't want to customize the car too much.. I've found some others I think would look cool on the car




They fit way better than the others I bought, they scraped like crazy when I had people in the back seat... These Zito Belair will fit much better The only thing about these is that they are 8x18 all around the car and not wider in the rear. Some wider rear tires is what I'm going for then!

Those are a lot better. ^

Maybe throw on some rear spacers for wider look. But it's silly to put on wider tires on same wheel spec all around. Doesn't make sense.

TheDane

Thinking the exact same But I have found out that they are produced in a 8,5" model too with ET+45.. Think that would be pretty nice as well

Nice.....well get the 8.5s for the rears!

TheDane

If i can get it, I'll do it Thinking of putting 225/40R18 in front and 235/40R18 in the rear. Not to aggressive, but just fine.. The rims have ET+45, wouldn't that be okay against the fenders? I think so though...

TheDane

Bad update here I have ordered the wheels, but then the seller checked it before he send it and it was boxed wrong at the factory! ARGH! So now, another try with some different wheels.
I have found these:


They are a little concave. Can't really figure out if they should be 8,5x18" or 8,5x19".. I know the 19" is not as comfy as 18" and I am also thinking of a set of H&R 35mm lowering springs (the comfy model)...

Any recommendations?
