16x8 Wheel Question

[google1304]

I have a simple question. ( Well I hope it is)
I have almost finished the Ke70 and it needs some wheels.
I am looking at the Rota Grid 16x8 + 10 offset wheels.

How much guard mods will need to be made if any to make these fit?

The car is running Sprinter struts, Sigma LCA's etc.

Rear end is a sprinter.

Any helps is appreciated.

how low u plan on going is the real Q
as for simplified answer, would prob wana get 2 extra guards already lipped on inside to max, and use them for rear (prefrebly ke70 front ones) or any 80's car that has similar look, lip or flare doubt ud need them to be flared for 8's and get old guards cut off completely and line up new ones 2-3 inches higher and start fabricateing, as for fronts, flare to an extend depending on ur camber tyre size etc, should watch mr2drift's thread for how hes doing fronts maybe not sure if hes tubbing or what.

Do not buy any bigger wheels that 15 inch.

Do not buy rota wheels.

Thanks.

bah humbug!

they fit FINE on the rears with next to no flaring.

im running them with 25mm bolton spacers and simple flared rear guard.... they scrubbed a bit to start, now no scrubbing :) This is an 86 but i doubt you have THAT much less room in there....

fronts im not sure, im running s13 so im 30mm wider each side? so i have some funky shit going on :)

16 x 8 + 10 .. if u want them to sit nice, u will need to run a space, you can run a neg 10 on an 8 inch rim and still dont need to mod the guards with 230mm free height springs
, if u went down to a 200mm fee height spring u may want to roll the lip.

i was considering 16's - still am. but that will be after i try 15's.. but that doesnt mean dont go 16's.. guys on here will usuall say that 14" on a 70 = win and 15" on a 70 = OK
if its just a streeter i would go no bigger than a 15", guys racing 86's or whatever sometimes change the rear to a bigger or smaller rim to change to final drive for certain tracks.. but streeter, 14" or 15"

thats on 86 LCA's .. but u have Sigma.. still with +10... go with somethings zero offset or in the negative.. +ve really fails in the looks department.
