Running 17 on front of ke55

[ke55pig]

hey im just wondering how much will it affect my steering driveabillity and control running 17x8s up front
reasone being as i already have the 17" and am looking for a cheap pair of rims for the front for drift. as i run 13 14 15 x 6 on the rear.

dont flame me its just a question i want advice with as i see this as being my cheapest option

[blair]

what tyres would you run? lollllllllllll.

did you not understand eveyone in this thread? (http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/showthread.php?t=416&highlight=wheel&page=5)

17" tyres are not as cheap as 14 or 13inch tyres...

[Delazy]

why???

sell the rims and buy something more suitable :thumbup:

[ke55pig]

225/45/17s i got a set here they fit without scrapige and all that just want to know if it will be suitable as i dnt wanna sell them either.
My other option is can i run 13" on the front and any other size on the rear is that ok cause i got 13x7 +8 on the front and there cool but the ones id run on the bak will have to be 13 14 15 x 6
Any it wont go throught tyres often

dont bother, get 14's for the front, a pair of 14x7 will be cheap enough. If not 13's then 15's. 17s are massive. havnt we been through this in another thread about your car or something?

[ke55pig]

well i came to the conclusion of for the moment im going to run 13x7 up front and 13 or 14x6 on the rear till i can aford some larger width rims for the front. i just want to get out there and have a go for the moment

widened steelys? thats what id do for cheap rims

[ae71]

eerrmm... why dont you just try them?

i ran 16x8s on my kesev, they felt nice to drive on, no tyre roll at all that you could feel so it would turn in quite sharp.

maybe you should just save for a better car? ke55 isnt the best base to start from.

[ke55pig]

yea tax time i will purchase another car but want this to play around with give me rough idea of what to do.ive got all the suspension sorted new shocks and springs alrround bout -2 deg camber heap of caster .Also hopeing for around 65 rwkw so should be enough to slide with as all interior is stripped and im on a diet to lose some weight just to make sure i can get it to slide lol

[ke_70]

what motor are you running? 65kw is a fair desent no. for a 4k

[ke55pig]

4k block,4k bigport head with bowl work exauhst ports just cleaned up a little.268 deg cam for 3000-8500,Twin carb manifold with twin asians on top rejetted.extractors and electronic ingnitoin with 103octane petrol until i can get some touline and run 110

[redsprinter]

running 17s front and 14s rear will throw your car's handling out a little. you'll have to much tyre wall flex in the rear if your are gonna try and even out the ride height out with the tyre size..

run the same rim and tyre size all round regardless if they are 17s or 14s.

[ke55pig]

yea fer enough ill be sticking with my 13" for now i really need tomake sure ihaveenough power to spin them up to start with ill get it going and then go from there just want a car on thetrack to boot around with until tax time were im looking at getting something more jap

[Rice86]

running 17s or anything different from stock will effect the handling of any car as the stock suspension were designed for the stock rim size

but thats obvious hence why people mod suspension =p

[boost+k]

the twin asain carbs are useless, you'll be far better off with a single webber

and the electronic ignitions don't run enough mech advance, points ftw

Yep.

Watch the guys in R33's with 20" chromies and 15's on the rear, all they do is spin out.

[ke55pig]

I had a single webber but have chosen to go twins which i may end up running small webbers on top then put charger on the side and boost it.
It will be on points dizzy and then elec on the dyno to figure out what ill go.

[keimeier]

fuck the 17s sell em man as jus bout every one else has said

13,14,15 max
