wheels for hachi

[jnr 13b]

hi all

has anyone here ever put S13 wheels on a hachi.

I need 16 wheels for my car.
I wanna put R33 brakes on my car.
because 16" that fit my car is very hard to find even if i have the money.

so what will i need to do to fit 16x7 +35 front( i think it s13 wheels)
and 16x8 ( not really sure on the off set)

I know I might need spacer. but then do i need to do ant thing to the body work?

i have seen hachi with 17inch+ wheels andeven wider the 8inch.

I just need a nice set of dish wheel for my car.

IMHO 16 is too big for a sprinter, however Jon's (raceflo) car has 17s on it at the moment I think (you can see pics on his website) and the car looks nice =), but I think for that sort of car (ie uber powered) tyre diameter is far more important than a bit of reduction in wheel size for rotating weight reduction

I believe that R33 hubs are 5 stud and s13 wheels are 4 stud...

Maybe you should think about running s13 coilovers if this is what you really want to do, then the s13 wheels will fit
You will also get some quite adequate brakes...

skyline stud has nothing to do with the brakes

I just wanna know what do i need to do to fit s13 wheels on my car.

just to fit s13 wheels on your car you need a 5mm spacer for the front or they might touch the strut, depending on what size tyre you put on.. they sit under the car..they don't come close to the gaurds, and kinda look quite horrible..get some 20-30mm bolt on spacers and you should be ok..

the ultimate tyre/rim combo for a hatchi still running a full gaurd, i belive is 195/50 R15 x 7 " with 0 offset..perfect...

i was thinking of 16x7+32 all round.another set is
16x7+35 all round.

I don't really want to have pump gard.

what do you think?

my old sprinter before i got it, the previous owner had it on chopped springs [3.7" drop!!] with 17's and there was no rubbing. So as long as you don't go too wide and pick a crappy offset.

+32 and +37 may be too much offset for the front and rub your struts

[crazy86]

If you go 16 your going to have to fork out for expensive low profile tyres, otherwise you will get rubbing. Thats why most drifters go for 14, to 15 inch, cos the tyres are a little cheaper (that and other reasons)

you should put 19inch chromies on it man.

33 brakes are overkill on a car that weighs 900kg...

^^^ true that!

i think over kill is the plan.

plus I like to have better brakes anyway.

I don't know how much power i want out of my hachi roku.
I might find $20G one day and decide that i want a 250kw sprinter

but i'm only dreaming.

I think 16x7+25 should fit on the front with out doing anything specail to the car?
can anyone comfirm this?
please

thank guys
