Yeah, I'm on it.

Toilets clogged, still got more flushin ta do, lol



215/40/R17

17x8 et23 with -1 deg camber and guards rolled, 225/45/17 seems to be the magic numbers for my st205 with bc coilovers

Anyone ran 9.5" on a 6th gen? pics? modds required?
My guards have already been lipped and rolled years ago, and yes I have suspension work and currently neg 3 camber.

I'm looking to get some wheels, and I'm tossing up between 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 all round, wheel make and model will remain a secret but they are the only two widths available and the offsets available are

18x8.5 are: +45 +38, +30mm
18x9.5 are +12, +20, +30 +38mm

cheers.

im thinkin of getting some xxr 530s for my st205, will 17X7 5x100/5x114.3 et35 fit ??
and what tires should i get

thanks

They'll fit.. But I recommend going a little wider if I were you. Just for the extra beef.

Yes go wider like 17x8 (225/45/17 tires) or 17x8.5 (235/45/17 tires) leave the 7 wide for scooters.
Another option 18x8 (225/40/18 tires) or 18x8.5 (235/40/18 tires)
Offset 35 is perfect dont get a higher offset than 35.

ok well these are my options right now


XXR 530 17x8.25 Flat Black 5-100/5-114.3 [+25mm]

XXR 530 17x8.25 Flat Black 5-100/5-114.3 [+35mm]

XXR 530 17x7 Flat Black 5-100/5-114.3 [+35mm]

XXR 530 17x9.75 Flat Black 4-100/4-114.3 [+25mm]

17x7 not wide enough
17x9.75 too big and offset too high. Front wheels will stick out and our cars are 5x100 not 4x100/4x114.3
I would go with the 17x8.25 +35 or 17x8.25 +25 both will fit fine but the +25 will be more flush to the fenders.

Would you consider 18's? Because the 530's are available in 18x8,75 +35 for the front (might need a small spacer), and 18x8,75 +20 for the rear. That would look great.

alright thanks everyone, i thinkk ill stick with the 17s so which tires should i get ? for 17x8.25 25offset

225 would be just a little streched but looks good or 235/45/17

Just a quick question...

Can a 17x7.5 - ET42 fit on a ST205?

I am thinking of using 225/45/17 Tires.

I want a Flush look, so what would be required?

et42 will be very sunken in. 25mm spacers in the front would make it flush but for the rear you'd need around 30mm+ or so

much better going with 17x8 et35, there are lots available. then if you want flush you could do 10 mm spacer front and 25 mm rear.

x2 This is really one of the best options for us, unless you want to make the change to 5x114.3. Then the mother lode of width and offset combinations shall be unlocked.

Question!
Does anyone know the depth difference between the front and rear on a stock Gen 6?

my best guess is 10mm

Hectors right! I test fitted my friends xxr 521s the other day. he's 5x114.3 so it didn't fit. but we put itvas close to the studs as possible and slowly lowered the car. didn't go all the way down since the car was on the tire. but these were 18x10.5 in the rear with crazy low offset. wish I was 5x114.3 so I could buy them.
but I would have run crazy negative camber so I could actually be as low as I am right now

Can someone confirm this?

Basically if you have had a set of wheels front and rears with different offsets and they both fit perfectly then I want to know the difference.
eg:
Front ET 25 and Rear ET 40 so difference it 15mm.

edit

First post just confirmed it.
at 6.5 wide,
front is 0
rear is 15

so difference is 15mm.

Now whats the best way to space the rears for 15mm? Use studed spacers? Then the nuts won't sit deep enough and will obstruct the alloy?
Hammer out the studs and use longer ones and have a 15 spacer? Can I do that without removing the hub?
