Wheel fitment thread- post your will this fit questions in here

cool website man

Finally the time has come for new wheels.
Looking at TE37V's
Front - 14x9 -15 185/60/14
Rears - 14x10 -25 185/60/14
Don't mind flaring and rolling guards.
Also main duties for this car are street and drifting, so will there be any detrimental effects of running these sizes?

Is that enough tyre in the rear? Some brands of wheel don't like stretch and won't hold a tyre too well. I would make sure you can run the tyre size you want because with a 10 in the rear you can't afford to run a huge tyre

I'm not sure, that's why I'm looking for other peoples experience. I'm looking to stay 14" and from other people's setups choose those specs from the Ray's website as they seem close to what others have run. I don't mind stepping down in width or upping tire width if the sizes I've put up are too much of a compromise in handling.

Here is the spec sheet for the TE37V's

8's up front and 9's in the rear will sit nice. anything wider and you will definitely need bolt ons or major guard mods. even 9's will need quite a roll. and with the different rim depth between the 8j and 9j it will look great imo

[jay70]

depends what height you're at bro but the 10s will take a lot of work to fit

if i was you 14x8.5 all round with 20mm extended lca's up front (and watanabes instead of te37s but i'm a little biased haha)

[Konakid]

Forget 10's. 9 will cause heacaches up front at big lock angles too. That much stretch would feel like shit to drive on too.

8.5 -5 is a sick size and as big as you would want up front, i would just go these all round will only need to flare guards slighlty with 185/60. bigger than 9 on the rear looks retarded with such a small tyre but 185/195 / 60 is about all you can get for 14 these days.

[JJRC]

Thanks for the advice guys, I'm going for 8.5 up front and 9 in the rear. I'll decide on tyre sizes when they get here.

Dont know if this is the right thread but it seems appropriate enough. i've got 15X7-1 on the front now and i've increased the track a lot to try to make it clear on full lock, but its still scrubbing on the front.










what would be the best offset rim in a 14X8 for a car with a fair amount of lock? Also trying to get more lock. I'm looking at getting some equipe 01's in a 14X8 -18. what do you guys reckon? the next offset up from -18 is -28 which think would be impossible to fit and drive like crap.

Also looking to go pretty low with the 14's as well, hoping to get the guard about an inch or so off the rim when on the ground. The car is used as an all rounder track car. I know having the car that low wont be very functional but am planning to raising the car and using some 15X7's for racing and street use.

the way those lca's work is a bit silly, should be extended after the caster rod mount to get more clearance
