what lca's do you have? I had 8.5 -13 with stock lca's and camber maxed and there wasn't much room. I just put 20mm extended in and they're not going to fit at all
I have the choice to go 14x8.5 -8 (Roughly) or 14x9 -15. They are mk3's, will it be to much hassle to fit the 9's under the front guards? Im running G4 9k Coilovers And roughly -5ish camber? Would the 8.5's be a better option?

im guessing this is for ke70? 86 guards are a bit bigger. have 9-20 with 175/60s on the front of the 86 and they just fit but they poked a mile on the 70
Lengthened and boxed 86 Lca's, Will be running about -5ish camber, Just gonna go with the 8.5 lots of people seem to think it will be the better option.
Def 8.5

SSR MK-II 8.5 -7 with 5mm slip on (effectively -12)
+10mm LCA (xt130) with -3 camber
185/60 re001
should give you a decent idea of what you are in for
Pretty much exactly what I'm after, thanks heaps man! Much appreciated
Hey guys, I own a ke70 and I have come to the crunch of wheel choice. I've decided to go for some 15" Work Equip 03's, however I'm a bit stuck on offsets. I'm definately going for bolt-on flares opposed to metal flares. Something like the TopStage flares, 240z ones.
My question is- what sort of offest should i be looking at for a 9.5" wide on the rear with standard length diff & drum brakes?
and for 8.5" on the front with adjustable LCA's & AE86 front suspension/mazda FC brakes?
I'd like to be able to fill up my guards nicely
many thanks in advance!

Depending on how big the flares are you can go pretty big but the more negative offset on the front will make the steering feel a bit shit because of the huge inrcrease in track and what not.
Good choice in wheel though. On the front i would go no more than an 8.5 -20 with -2.5 camber and the rear 9.5 -20 but it all depends on how wide the flares, are, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm? What tires do you want to run size wise?

the flares themselves are around 60mm, but I factored in the extra width because I am removing the standard flare on the wheel arch completely for a nice flush fit so approx 40-45mm over. I understand how it will effect steering so I won't be increasing the track out much with the control arms. but atleast I have the option to when i put smaller wheels on.
Thanks man, I think they're such a clean design.
and thanks for the info! really appreciated
I want something with a bit of stretch but not too aggressive.
also, as I am running drums I still want the option of converting to disc (corona rears) so should I go for the "A Disc" type?
many thanks and happy endings
