Anyone running 225s in their ITR? if so, any trouble w/ the wheel well??

 

i'm running 225/45R16 tires on 16" JDM wheels. No problems since it has 50mm offset

yoshi - who ordered tires for the Expo and now has 3 different sets of tires to ch00se from

 

hmm that's good to hear...i was planning on 225/4-16s on 16 Racin Hart Cp-35s...but i dunno what the offset on those are...doh!

(time for me to jump on the bandwagon..damn my long name!)

NBP ITR 01-622 - who cant decide on wheels dammit

 

the only way 225s will fit is w/ a 50mm offset. if you're getting like a 45 or 42mm offset then a 215/45R16 tires is the way to go. Falken Azenis in this size is only $94ea from http://www.onlinetires.com

You could get those small gold wire wheels that the vhatto's are putting on all their Caddies. Probably could fit 315's on those babies.

Anyone have a pic?

 

 

Now that...is PHAT!

 

I just gotta shake my head at that...

 

Hmm...can someone explain the offset differences to me? I've heard a lotta scare stories about screwing around with offset and how that messes up ur suspension and everything...

 

Stock offset is 50 mm but other offsets will fit too.

A 43 mm make the track of the car look wider i.e. brings the wheel/tires out of the body more - and thus you have more room for bigger calipers. But eventually the body/fenders will rub on the outside of the tire if you go too wide (i.e. 215/45 is widest you can go with 43 mm offset unless you roll your fenders).

 

I just bought a set of Kosei K1s with 45 offset and would like to know more from people actually running 225s. Here's the original post about some people running the the K1s with 225s:

I'm a little leary because one person said they had a little rubbing, but I haven't heard anymore.

The Spoon 16X7 are also 45 offset.

 

I just saw a '97 ITR Turbo at a local shop that was running 225-50-15's on stock rims. They were A-032R's. Nice tires.

 

i hope that isnt sarcasm in your voice you big phat r...oh yeah..and it is spelled VATOS!

 

Hey! Chinghana!

 

Thanks for explaining Big PhatR....now does anyone know the offset of a 16x7 Racing Hart CP-035?
