    Hey does anyone know whats the biggest size you can fit on a jdm ae86, don't know if there any different to the adm.
    I wanted to go 14inch but don't no what width i can go to before i have to modify the guards. Which i don't want to do.
    btw the guards are already rolled.

    Pretty big at the expense of good taste.
    I had 7.5 with 185's on 'em and I couldn't fit my finger between the tyre and guard, but they looked sweet as.

    Offset is the key.
    My AE86 race, street, drift build.

    if the guards are rolled how is anyone on here meant to know how wide and the offset of rim is best suited to your car without any further guard modification, plus nobody know what springs your running and how low the car sits.

    if stock springs and stock guards ive heard guys putting 18x10 +offset in the stock guards with stock springs.




    just go to a rim/jap shop and trial fit something like a 15x8 negative offset
    iif not
    get maybe a 14x8 or 15x7.5 (rather go 14x8)

    also depends on tyre size

    ie
    185/45 will fit better than a 195/50 for obvious reasons.

    kinda hard when you say the guards have already been rolled.

    best bet is, take it to a rim shop and get some trial fitments.

    or if your mates got some bigger rims or something trial fit them
    only real way you can tell.

    sorry that your a cock head that reckons you know everything.
    Its not my fault that as a teenager you were that gay kid who got bashed everyday and now your taking you "revenge" haha.
    This is not a communist site people can ask what ever they want as long as the mod agrees, and its on topic.
    People like you that THINK your better then the rest are just really worthless, its people like you that should be banned.
    Your that person that makes every one else feel like a idiot when they have a question.
    Could be dumb to you but not to them.
    And yes i did search forum a few times but i never found the answer to my question.
    So next time don't go ranting and raving, name calling!
    Cause if you were in this state youd have a hard time.
    Oh and i don't know what your on about the sr20 bit?

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (delazy @ Apr 30 2008, 12:31 AM) </div>Well arent you high achiever.
    For all your efforts you deserve a sticker.
    Good boy.
