lol bueller?

nobody knows of any 17x10s or 17x11s?

 

I've found a very small offering from Weld and a couple other places but the cost is around $550-$700 per wheel. Id love to be able to shave that down a little, lol.

I have the coilovers covered and the body work to create the actual flares already paid for, just need to get the wheels sorted without completely blowing the budget.

 

Just throwing it out there, but what about having wheels widened?

 

Don't know if you'll like the look, but American Racing Torque Thrust are cheap.

 

yeah, don't like the torque thrusts for this build.

I did find some Enkeis that won't break the budget, PF01 and they come in 18x10.5 with our bolt pattern for about $250 each.

it's amazing how difficult it is to find shit that fits our cars and is wider than 9" lol

 

Don't blame you there. I bought TSW's for my camaro, but I don't think they go as wide as you want, definately not in 17" diameter.

 

Apex makes some wide wheels. not sure they have an 11inch wide one though

 

I like those Apex wheels, their website says all sold out of damn near everything though... anyone have a lead on a reputable reseller?

 

I found some cosmis racing wheels, 18x10 et20 for all four corners. i am a COMPLETE tard when it comes to calculating offsets, can someone advise?

I need them to come past the fender lip by a few inches, is the et20 going to push them out or bring them in toward the suspension?

 

push them out by a bit more than 1 inch from stock location. then when you account for the fact that they are 1 inch on each side wider than stock, it will be 2+ total inches outbound from stock location.

 

if our stock 18x8 wheel has offset of 48, with a 20 offset im going to be pushing the wheel out toward the fender by 28mm, right? then we add the additional 2 inches for wheel width and I'm going to be sitting with a wheel about the same as a stock wheel into the wheel well and 2 inches further out than the stock wheel.

right?

 

yes, you got it.

 

holy shit i feel like a new man. A man who understands offsets.

THANKS!

 

 

Have you considered running a adapter from the 5x120 to a 5x114.3? I think you will have more options in that size of wheel with a 114.3 PCD

 

FWIW my car runs a 17x9.5 up front with rolled fenders and a effective offset of +29. I do have a 235 on the front.

 

Rears are 18x10.5 with a effective offset of +43, that is a 265/40 on the previous picture/post

 

thanks, Nate. I'd rather not use an adapter because the wheels are going to stick out so far already, don't want to have a weak spot and risk bends/breaks.

Your setup looks great but I'm going for something different and will actually need the wheels/tires to extend beyond the lip of the fender by a couple of inches.

The 18x10 ET+20 are going to be 53 mm or just a tick over 2" out from a stock wheel. The front wheel on my car is 1.5" out. The inner clearance on mine is the same as a stock 8" wheel. I don't think the 18x10 ET 20 is going to fill up wide body flares is what I am getting at.

 

I look forward to seeing the result. It seems like a good idea, as your fitment is going to be excellent, with that scheme and offset.

 

This is a better side front shot of how the wheel fits in the well. This is a lowered car, and in this shot the suspension is loaded on the drivers side (I am turning in right in the photo)
