View Full Version : The Wheel Fitment Thread

There are always questions asked about wheel fitment regarding what fits, rubs, looks good etc, about time we had a dedicated thread about the subject.

Lets face it, proper fitment makes you car look gangster and can turn the ugliest shit box into something hot (ke's) :omg:.


READ THE RULES


DO NOT post in this thread to say "oh but that will effect scrub radius or performance" odds are if your running wide low offset wheels you don't care about the minimal difference it makes to your steering although i do emphasize to many that you need to chose a right tyre size before you choose your rim so you're not trying to stretch skinny 175's onto 7's to make them clear your guards.

DO NOT post up pics of your wide/low offset wheels that aren't fitted and final. This thread is for good fitment, not mexican fitment that needs "xxxxxx and xxx" done before they will fit. Wheels that have just been bolted on is not fitment. Wheels that happen to stick out the guards is not fitment.

DO NOT post anything under 7 inches wide.

DO NOT Quote 5 photos just to reply to someone asking them about their setup, delete their photos from their quote!

EVERY PHOTO must contain alignment specs, suspension mods (that are relevant), tyre size, rim width and offset (spacers also if used).

Feel free to ask about what might fit in this thread or PM me and others in this thread if you want to know more details.

how does ur car go for front guards scrapeing ?

how does ur car go for front guards scrapeing ?

The first picture is what it currently drives with (no scrubbing whatsoever). The ones with the 7.5" up front where just for reference when I was planning on getting some 8.5" for the rears.


Edit: I forgot to mention that depending on tyre brands, the rears will rub with this setup. Easily fixed with more flaring, but I don't want more than a pinky finger gap between my rear guards.

Rears are fine street driving most of the time with driver only, but once you add a passanger or start driving hard, rubbing gets more serious. More passangers.. well you'll get a chunk of rubber hanging onto your tyres and strong smell of burning rubber.

There is no way that's -2.5 camber. It'd have to be around -5!

I agree that there should be no posting of cars that arent your own.
How can you be sure of the specs of all those cars Konakid?
Could lead to an expensive lesson for someone who based their rim choice on one of those.

Both fit without scrubbing. But as soon as I lowered the camber back to -3 with the Sigma arms it touched. Flaring the guard fixed that problem.
The fronts still hit the little brake line bracket in the wheel arch on full lock, but only just. So I'm not worried.

should mention, robos front guards are actually trimmed back to the 1st crease, so they are actually the same width as stock (with a rolled inner lip) guards, but higher.

you wouldnt be able to run that combo with stock guards though, even if you car wasnt as low, because of the way the lip would interfere with the tyre.

his rears are about +20mm, but about 20mm higher too.

But when FD brakes fitted to front required 12mm spacer to clear caliper. so moved 15x9 -2 to front resulting in same outer rim position with spacer.
The 15x8.5 -21 on rear now scrub over larger bumps so rear guards will require some more modification for smooth running. Current stance:

Fairly often I ask and i see people asking about what wheels will fit their car, particularly AE86/KE70/AE71. I thought it might be an idea to make a thread to discuss what wheels will fit our and cars what are appropriate sizes, tyres and offsets. The wheel fitment in this thread doesn't necessarily have to be extreme, crazy sized wheels and tyres aren't for everyone. If you have a nice set of aftermarket wheels post pics with wheel, tyre and alignment specs along with any modifications required to make them fit . Also ask any questions you might have about fitting wheels in this thread.


Here are some examples of wheel and tyre sizes on AE86s that I have seen around the forum. All of these setups may required alignments and guard modifications.

I have stolen pics out of peoples threads so if your unhappy or have updates about your car being posted PM me an ill remove or update it.

Cheers

just showing my fitment cause i can

lolol not fitment..

for interest sake. The pic of my car back then had 210mm 8kg Tein front springs (AE86 struts), XT130 lcas and 210mm Falcon rear springs.

guards were rolled and hammered a bit. front guards had a bit of a pull

at that stage the front guards were not cut for castor and scraped badly on full lock. need bending, cutting to work

I am getting some 15x8 wheels I have flared guards and 2.5 neg camber I can get either -10 or -25 I want them to stick out but have just enough room so they do not scrub.

what would be best? or would -25 be way to much?

blair
4th November 2010, 11:37 PM
Completely depends on height of car. And how much Flare? all metal or cut and fibreglassed?

-10 will sit close to flush if they are all metal. so -25 will poke like 15mm. If you plan on running decent low, 8's won't have enough pull with a 195/185 to poke 15mm and tuck enough tyre to be non-mexican.

-10 safe option, flush, maybe up to 5mm spacer even?

-25 gonna scrub unless your 4 x 4 height.

Let me gues... steelies?

KurtHS
4th November 2010, 11:56 PM
What tyre sizes for front 15x8's, rears a pair of 15x9's and a pair of 15x10's? At the moment just tucking tyre at the front with 195 and camber, rear is just off, flare flush with stretched sidewall on 195's over 10's, not sure on profile.

Probably a piece of shit sentence, eyes are fucked, can't see, fucking hayfever.

jakel
5th November 2010, 07:04 AM
well at the moment I have 15x8 0 offset with just the hand flared guard (lip bashed out) and no camber and they have heaps of room.

and ye there sunrasier steelys.

Nic19
5th November 2010, 07:45 PM
well jakel he has sigma arms and 15x8 -4.
best bet kurt is to run federal 195/45 up front and have about -4 camber.
rear is gonna need 195 if your just running a smallport! maybe go 195/65 so stretch isnt so much.

jakel
5th November 2010, 07:52 PM
I have a T18 so not sure if it will be different, I had 14x7.5 -12 on the front with standard camber and only bashed out lip and they sat flush with 1995/60 tyres.

Kid Karola
5th November 2010, 08:05 PM
65 profile on a 15??? GTFO this isn't am aussie famliy sedan!!! I'd stick with 50 profile.
195/50 is hardly stretch on 15x8 lol and if you don't want as much stretch go 205/50 on 9's.
10's with a smallport is a bit much but 205/50's or 195/55 if you want to keep the same width.

Konakid
5th November 2010, 09:07 PM
15x8 -10 pokes hard on a ke70, sits just out on an ae86.

Only use 195/50 on 15 unless you feel 205/50 is need, maybe on a 9.

Nic19
5th November 2010, 09:15 PM
Kid karola I didn't mean on the 8, as it says run a 195/45 up front! I meant on the 10, 195/50 on them is fine IMO but I thought he didn't like them that stretched. Plus the risk of popping them off the bead.
But I guess ur a fan boy and know best so kurt listen to him not me. After all it was my car with those tire specs on it so what would I know.

Kid Karola
5th November 2010, 09:52 PM
Fanboy? :right: It's not just about aesthetics or fitment, besides looking like a balloon it ruins the dynamics for a small light car like AE86. 195/45 on 8 are sweet (but I'd still opt for 50). Above you maintained width and increased profile to reduce stretch - but I'd go a touch wider and maintain profile to do it.
Do the math (http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp) a 65 has +10% larger rolling diam than 50 - not ideal (compared to 45 -3% or 55 +3%) While a 205/50 is only +1.7% diam over a 195/50 for 10mm more width and much stiffer sidewall than 65. It would take a fair shunt to pop 205 off bead on 10 (especially on a JJ rim).

Nic19
5th November 2010, 10:08 PM
True a 65 profile tire is a bit much should have said 55 but I wouldn't wanna run a 205 on a 15x10 wheel behind a stock smallport specially a heavy wheel like a superlite. I just hate people thinking thier opinion is the only way to go and flame others for voicing theirs.

Kid Karola
5th November 2010, 10:47 PM
No offence taken or given :thumbup: I agree needs +200hp to justify 10's IMO even on a drift car and 205's are too sticky without the grunt.
For serious track car (like N2) slicks FTW but in say IPRA are resiticted to15x7or8 depending on class and Advan control tyre limits size choice.

KurtHS
5th November 2010, 11:04 PM
hey hey hey back off on Nic hah he did own the car with the exact same wheel and flare specs so he knows about this particular car!

Oh and I ditched the Sigma arms for the moment at least, see if I need all that lock when I get a bit better, hello inner guard scrub with those knuckles, although haven't checked that yet. Might ditch the 10's then too!

Think I'll go 195/50 on my 8's and 205/50 on 9's if I get them.

Nic19
6th November 2010, 07:58 AM
I'll back off then lol. The lock will help now so u can catch a spin.
Well I had 185rwkw when I had the car so spinning most tires was pretty easy.
But if I had a stock smallport I'd be running 14s. Something light which will make it easier to spin up.

you can get 175/50R13 from a tyre dealer that sells sime tyres otherwise you can buy yokohama street legal semi slicks in that size as well. Otherwise this website http://www.ausmini.com/tyres/ sells 195/45R13 tyres, the mini guys know where to get good tyres.

175/50 is too small for a Corolla. 195/45 is too small for a Corolla.

I used to run 175/60 Trampio's and N2000's and they looked small at my height. I doubt yours will be that low to pull it off.

185/60 is fine and the only real choice. If you want stretch you need wider than 7J.

Note that I've done the 13-inch thing with gooood Japanese Trampio tyres and it just wasn't worth it.

9th November 2010, 11:30 PM
This may or may not be on topic,
but who in/around Brisbane does custom outer bands for wheels?
Reason for asking is, rims in the sizes I want are hard to find.
I've found a set of 15x7.5 +2 rims for under a grand, and If a pair were widened, to say, 8's, by just putting a wider outer band on them, that would mean approximately -10 offset, which is sweet.
And if the other pair was widened to 8.5, it would mean approximately something like -22 or -23, which I can get away with on the rear with a flair and 195's (R31 guards are pretty big).
So yeah, is there any place that does that sort of thing? And what costs would be associated?
I remember Slydar on here did something like that?

jdm70
10th November 2010, 09:57 PM
If you widen your rim from 7.5 +2 to an 8inch rim your offset will be -3 and if you go 8.5 your offset will be -8. Correct me if im wrong but im 100% sure thats what it will be because your only changing the width

7.5 +2
8.0 -4

basically if you only change the outside by 1" the offset -12.7mm, increase width by only 1/2" offset -6.3mm

I was actually going 165/45/15 on my 8's, but have since decided I'll be going 10's all round. 195/45/15 baby.


did'nt think you'd be able to get a 165/50/15...?

For sho man, but it'd be a massive pain in the ass.

Below is the same fitment I mentioned earlier. It's a perfect fitment in my opinion, but yeah, it won't be to everyone's tastes.

they come stock on daihatsu copens

are are available in bridgestone and simex I believe.

However, if you must have stretch get at least 8inch wide wheels.

Dont try and stretch on a 7 and dont run 165 tyres on a corolla.

There are always questions asked about wheel fitment regarding what fits, rubs, looks good etc, about time we had a dedicated thread about the subject.

Lets face it, proper fitment makes you car look gangster and can turn the ugliest shit box into something hot (ke's) :omg:.


READ THE RULES


DO NOT post in this thread to say "oh but that will effect scrub radius or ultimate performance" odds are if your running wide low offset wheels you don't care about the minimal difference it makes to your steering although i do emphasize to many that you need to chose a right tyre size before you choose your rim so you're not trying to stretch skinny 175's onto 7's to make them clear your guards for obvious reaosns.

DO NOT post up pics of your wide/low offset wheels that aren't fitted and final. This thread is for good fitment, not mexican fitment that needs "xxxxxx and xxx" done before they will fit. Wheels that have just been bolted on is not fitment. Wheels that happen to stick out the guards is not fitment.

DO NOT post anything under 7 inches wide.

DO NOT Quote 5 photos just to reply to someone asking them about their setup, delete their photos from their quote!

EVERY PHOTO must contain alignment specs, suspension mods (that are relevant), tyre size, rim width and offset (spacers also if used).

Feel free to ask about what might fit in this thread or PM me and others in this thread if you want to know more details.

Post away

Run skinnier tyres than what your car came with factory? Are you high? Dont even think about stretching until you have at least 8J wheels. The point of stretching tyres is to clear guards with wide wheels, something you wont have a problem with on 15x7's.

On a 14inch wheel run no less than 185, 15's a 195, good place to start.

195/45 on 10 will drive like an absolute sack of shit not to mention finding someone to get the thing on the rim. That much stretch doesn't even look good anyway.

The point of stretching is yes, for clearance AND for multiple other reasons. In a lot of cases, it's mostly about the way it looks.

A 195/45 on a 10 will drive like a sack of shit? I'd dare say most of us feel every bump on the roads already, a heap of stretch won't make much of a difference in terms of comfort (or lack of). Also, I'd like to refer to your own rule :
DO NOT post in this thread to say "oh but that will effect scrub radius or ultimate performance" odds are if your running wide low offset wheels you don't care about the minimal difference it makes to your steeringThat's just it mate, I don't care about the minimal difference it will make. Please don't post such a narrow minded view in this thread, thanks. But yes, finding someone to fit them would be damn hard, I agree.
But what made me feel it so necessary to reply was that you stated that, that amount of stretch wouldn't even look good. Mate, that's your opinion. In mine, it would look pure sex so your opinion is invalid to me. Good day sir. I said GOOD DAY.

Yeap, you'll get that a lot on forms dude. Most are unhelpful and rude.
15x7's running 165/185 isn't necessarily a bad choice, just depends what vehicle they're going on and how your car sits. It can work on a KE70.

Sorry for interrupting the absolute bullshit erupting from your keyboard, in the thread that I created, aiming to help people with no idea like yourself work out some sort of wheel and tyre combination that is both functional and stylish for your vehicle.

Anyway.

Have you had any experience stretching tyres or driving on them? It sounds like you have had none, i guess thats the reason you are posting in this thread. Stretching only looks good on appropriately wide wheels and when combined with suitable width tyres. I have personally put a 195/50 on a 10 and seen it driven on. A large stretch but also relatively safe. A 45 profile would be ridiculous, especially on the front. You would have limited grip through no compliance in the sidewall and the bead will almost definitely fail if you drove the car hard and hit potholes. It will not make a minimal difference, the difference would be huge, not to mention dangerous. I have had a tyre come off the bead before, not fun when going around a tight corner at 60 let me tell you.


But of course im just being unhelpful and i dont need to tell you any off this so be on your way and build your 'cool' jap' ke70 with your mad stretch and 10 inch wheels to please people on the internet that you will soon stop driving because it will either be defected or you will be sick of having such an impractical car.

23rd March 2011, 11:06 PM
i think i might chuck in 2 bob worth here

firstly, running a 165 up front is not a safe thought on a ke/ae, it simply doesnt provide an adequate contact patch for 95% of the cars on the roads today, let alone on a modded corolla

secondly, i think you will find that most members are actually very polite and helpful to everyone on here, but some of us do occasionally get alittle bored with answering the same question repeatedly

and lastly, i can certainly say without a doubt that a 195 on a 10 does comprimise ride comfort considerably more than most think, and it really doesnt look as great as i initially thought it would...but hey thats my personal opinion

bottom line i think comes down to educating people on the safer options

23rd March 2011, 11:26 PM

thats all i was after was some useful info and maybe some piks? as i've already searched and rumaged thru alot of shit on here...

all in all, i'm new to the ke70 and drift scene so please excuse my ignorance for being a n00b.

basically a safe option for 7's is a 195, would a 185 be ridiculously unsafe?

a 185 would be sweet, the fact your running s13 gear with sigma lca's means plenty of camber generally, so to go smaller would give very little tire to contact the road

im running 185/60 achillies on 14x7j on the front, before that i let someone at the tyre shop choose because i had low funds and they put a 175/65, the front grip defference was rediculously comprimised with the 175, ill never run it again, on the rear, i got scrappy 175/65s atr the monent, in the dry they are fine, soon as the road is even slightly greasy its a shocking (shit enough to cost me a car), even before my locker went in its was a joke, stretch on the front is purely a looks thing anyways, stretching fronts just sacrfices everything from grip to ride, and they wear differently also.

Just got my Equip 01's on my AE86 this week.

WHEELS: Work Equip 01's
SIZE AND OFFSETS: Front - 15x8 -3 offset
Rear - 15x8 -13 offset
GUARDWORK - Lip'd and slight flare with a guard roller
SUSPENSION - Adjustable height coilovers at all 4 corners (GREDDY kit) 8kg Front/6kg rear, Standard LCA's
FRONT ALIGNMENT - Camber -2
Castor +4
Toe 0

Wheels dont scrub at this height, but my suspension is fairly stiff with my setup. The front could actually easily go lower, just haven't had the time for optimal adjustment this weekend. Can only run 195's/50's or less, other wise scrubbing/fucking guards will occur

greenmac80
8th August 2011, 07:50 PM
ok no way to the 185/55 it smaller than my current tyre. my external rolling diameter is small enough..
so if anything i'd like to go bigger on the rlling diameter.. fill the guards a bit more.

i currently have 185/60/14 with a diameter of 22.8"
if i go 195/50/15 it has the same diameter 22.8"
since i want to go a bit bigger then i have a chioce of

195/60/14 with a dia of 23.2"
205/50/15 with a dia of 23.1"

the extra contact patch on the 15 will give more grip but the extra sidewall of the 14 could promote more as well.

What will a 195/60/15 should give you enough side wall? But 15s would look a bit weird on a ke30 I think.

I'm confused what it is you are actually trying to achieve... First saying your primary goal is grip, then concerned about the aesthetics of 14's vs. 15's when you are planning banded steelies based on stock rims??? Then you are talking about benefits of stretching a 185/55 on an 14x8 or 195/50 on 15x8. Then keep referring to overall diameter as a comparison profile and sidewalls :/

More than anything the mechanical grip of the tyre will relate directly to width (hence contact patch) and the type/compound of the tyre itself. The sidewall/profile and construction will effect the way the tyre behaves to an extent, but so will many other things from tyre pressure, temperatures, suspension setup and the dynamics of the car itself. Remember a wider wheel & tyre is heavier, more work to rotate/stop and on a light car can compromise handling.

You mention it's for a KE30 with 4EFE? So we're talking about a 750ish kg car and a 1.3l motor with maybe 100 odd hp... Leaf spring or 4-link rear? Coil-over or std strut front?? IMO you could run even 13x7's and semi slicks (appropriately sized to get the rolling diameter you want) and have more than enough grip, equal to or more than either 14's or 15's. If you are thinking of skimping on alloys with heavy widened steel rims, are you going to use cheap tyres or second handies and expect grip?

Have a look at the Sharp boys in IPRA (KE30's with 20V 4AGE and 3SGE etc 160-200+ hp) They run Advan A048R's in 185/60 on 14x7. So your thing will handle great on a similar setup and look good too. You could run staggered sizes 7's on front 8's on back with 195/60's if you're really concerned about grip. But with 100hp it will be way over-tyred (even with street-sport spec rubber - not even semi-slicks) Likewise 15's & 50 profile will give a firmer feeling ride with stiffer sidewalls but may look big on a KE30, but that wasn't the question... or was it?

well tyre size is important and also has a alot to do with wheel fitment those are crazy sizes the 225/40/14 would be the best but i'll need to see if i can get them..
a 225 is more appropriate for an 8" problem is a 225 anything is hard to get for a 14 or a 15. the fitment does look good on your rd car for the fronts. but still 235 and larger is for 9"

Toyo t1-r's can still be bought in 225/40/14 they handle epic my car simply wont understeer in the dry unless im being retarded but the sidewall is too low for stretching imo' it doesnt look right and makes the car sit too low but there the widest 14 inch tires available so fu*k it im gonna go for 185/55 potenza's if i can get em perfect for what i want if i was grip racing id be getting used slicks or something that would properly fit the rim ive also used 195/60 ao48s on 10's and again there fine depends on what your using the car for i guess

Just got my Equip 01's on my AE86 this week.

WHEELS: Work Equip 01's
SIZE AND OFFSETS: Front - 15x8 -3 offset
Rear - 15x8 -13 offset
GUARDWORK - Lip'd and slight flare with a guard roller
SUSPENSION - Adjustable height coilovers at all 4 corners (GREDDY kit) 8kg Front/6kg rear, Standard LCA's
FRONT ALIGNMENT - Camber -2
Castor +4
Toe 0

Wheels dont scrub at this height, but my suspension is fairly stiff with my setup. The front could actually easily go lower, just haven't had the time for optimal adjustment this weekend. Can only run 195's/50's or less, other wise scrubbing/fucking guards will occur

Do you know what center disk those 01's are? A-Disk or O-Disk?

Cheers
:)

Assumed it was -12 (it's only 1mm difference, as rims are usually sized to 1/2" 12.5mm may round up or down)

Hey Guys,

Just wondering how a 15 x 8j -0 will fit on the front with xt130 arms
and a 15 x 9j -13 on the rear

Too much poke for the street without flairing the guards? I want to kinda keep it the guards stockish, rolled lip of course.

Also it's on an 86

Cheers

Chris

The 8 0 will sit perfect flush with the guard with a bit of camber maybe -1 or 2 degrees

The rear will sit about 20mm out of the stock guard, would need a small flare.

All with 195/50 tyres.

If you can just go 15x8.5 -6 on the rear (or all round!) with 195/50 guards will still need a small pull out maybe 10mm on the rear

it depends entirely what you want the car to be used for...

id be going 15's personally, but thats because i like the performance options better

Jimmee1990

14's for looks, 15's for better tyre choice and brake clearance. Depends on what you want to do with the car?

14's for looks,street and drift,15's for circuit, need to run semi's or big brakes,im not a pro but federal 595 on my 14's are sweet

some 14's fit over RX7 brakes, there big enough, i would personally go with 14's

shift_rook
30th July 2012, 11:22 PM
If you plan on running reasonable ride heights i'd recommend 15's just for a better guard to tyre clearance, also tyre choice is much wider in 15's. Unsure on the future on re001s in a 14

apparently they are bringing out re002's in 14's, hope so

15 is best for looks and performance due to tyre choice and for street driving.
14 for easier skids, cheaper tyres and pretty much gay unless 14x7.5 -5 or more

i'd say 13's/14's look better and anything under 7" too narrow personally

^lol, but bang on. 14s work just as well on kitted 86's

i fit 280mm 4 pots under my 14''s
tyres are still good in 14's, can get 595's for next to nothing and are pretty good street/steer tyres, and can still get heaps of semi's for 14's if needed.
god i wish they made r1r's in 14's though :(

Can anyone confirm how much positive offset you can run on a 15x8 rim before it hits the strut?
If buying a set of 15"s x 8, what is the preferred offset with lightly rolled guards?
Thanx

Jimmee1990
11th February 2014, 10:44 PM
What car are they going on? I have 15x8 0 offset and I only have 3-4mm from the strut to the tyre. I'm running bigger diameter strut bodies though.

gazae86
11th February 2014, 10:48 PM
Standard ae86 strut, Ajps rx7 brake conversion. Will prob do a coilover conversion in the future, but that shouldn't change the clearance much.
I was think of 15x8+5, from my measurements a +15 would be too close!

drift kid
12th February 2014, 05:13 AM
15x8 +/-0 sits perfectly flush with rolled guards

hansgti
18th December 2014, 01:47 AM
The 8 0 will sit perfect flush with the guard with a bit of camber maybe -1 or 2 degrees

The rear will sit about 20mm out of the stock guard, would need a small flare.

All with 195/50 tyres.

If you can just go 15x8.5 -6 on the rear (or all round!) with 195/50 guards will still need a small pull out maybe 10mm on the rear

What about 9x15 with 0 offset?

Konakid
18th December 2014, 06:53 PM
Will sit the same position as a 15x8.5 -6

so, this is a super-old thread, but I figure I'd post anyways, since so many of the photos were for looks, with stretch, and not for performance. And, I'm finally getting time to work on my car again, and cruising the interwebs.

14x7 +8 (celica/supra wheels)
225/50-14 Hoosier A4 (actual measurement 220+)
at the time, I think the standard 4/6kg/mm, -2.x° camber.
I do not remember if there were or were not 5mm spacers on the front.
