just one more topic for the jdm 16 " wheels.

my ones came this morning.

will post some pics mounted and unmounted this afternoon.

hah... they re not white. extra gunmetal poweder coated :-)

one step more jdm ;-)

very glad and happy now.

 

Congrats!

What did you do with your Euro ITR wheels?

 

 

i never had these euro itr wheels

the preowner had ****** bad heavy tsw venoms on the car. never got the oem wheels.

but **** mans. i ve rotora big brake for the front axle, and the rims 7 x 16 offset 50 dont fit.

who off you guys has an idea which offset will fit then? 30 ?

 

Bring your car to a wheel shop and try out different spacers. 30 offset wheels will leave the wheels sticking way too far out. Try a 5mm spacer and then you'll be able to judge how much extra clearance you need from there.

 

hmm no

here in germany no one has spacers for 5 x 114,3 in stock.

you have to order extra..... thats the problem....

 

rim in box

205-40-17 vs 205-40-16 --- kuhmo ecsta

 

Isn't 205 40 kind of skinny?

Gonna have to kinda agree with this one.....

I believe the stock JDM 16 tire size is 215/45/16.....Not sure why you picked the Ecstas when in Europe you probably have so many different and better tire choices?

But then not everybody is after R compounds on a daily basis.....

 

Much better

 

very sexy rims

I was gonna say the same thing...

 

the tacho will lie... but i ll adapt the new size. then everything will be okay..

i m also thinking that it looks much better.
and the wheels are much lighter.

the old with tire 20.8 kg
the jdm with tire just 15,6 kg.... thats a lot fewer i think.

but to drive them i need the offset for the rotora brake

.....what wheels does rotora recommend?

 

found nothing from rotora....

perhaps spacers are necessary...

haha nice joke....



here it is...

spoon wheels and rotora caliper. but which offset does this guy use? + 45 or + 35 ?
