I think you will find they are flush to the arch , plus ill be be putting a 165/50 tyre . So dont you worry Sharpy...

 

[Sharpy]

What width are they ?

 

[Ollie133cup]

One for Sharpy....Flush with the arch .. et20

I absolutly love em. Cant wait to get coilies back and get the zenders refurbed and some 165 tyres.

 

[madmatt]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN REFURBED!!!

They're Immaculate!
Are they 7" or 8"

I'm toying with getting ET20s but they would be 8"

 

[Ollie133cup]

Ah theres some scuffs etc up close that i cant live with , be nice with a scim and clear coat.

There 7" , et20 is probably the most you want to go as it is literally inline with the arch lol and i love it .

 

[Courtney]

They are so nice.

 

[Sharpy]

Wait until the tyres are on

They will rub for shoooo. Depending how much you lower it by obioussly.

 

[gsidave]

Well let's just say if it don't rub it ain't low enough.

What choices do you have for the tyres?

I see Nankang do a 165/50 :lol:

When I first had a look at these rims on the floor I didn't like them, but seeing them in the arches looks awesome.

Can't wait too see the outcome mate!

Bridgestone Potenza - 165/50/15

Bridgestone Potenza - 165/50/15

Cool. It's certainly going to be lower than standard. Even without being stretched onto 7" rims, the new wheels/tyres will drop you 20-22mm before changing the suspension as the radius is less than standard.

Obviously you don't want a 50-55mm arch gap, so you will be dropping a fair amount on the coilovers.

Be carefull with the amount of grip you have. A stretched tyre will be stiffer (* Although it may be more flexible than the 195/40/17 with reinforced sidewall*), and your loosing 30mm of width across the tread, hence you will have less grip. This may be counteracted by the drop in ride height unless you go for a stiffer spring setup as well, but it is certainly going to handle differently

 

[TripleJay]

165 for real? doesnt seem right to me... :? 1. if the wheels are 7 inches, even OEM 195 widht is minimum (already in A shape), 2. lostst in the grip will be huge IMO

 

[Ollie133cup]

Have you ever heard of stretched tyres......

Im not doing it for handling improvements .......... Im doing it for the looks ...

Obviously people are oblivious to this.

 

[TripleJay]

Looks are nice, but you will kill handling... I am just saying, not trying to flame or anything. Wheels as such are awesome

 

[Ollie133cup]

I dont think it will kill the handling, it will just be different .

 

[jra3d]

You got any further on tyres then fella?

What coilies you gone for?

 

[Ollie133cup]

Bc racing are developing a set using my OEM setup should be getting the test set next week .

As for tyres ill be ordering them next week and getting tge fronts of the alloys skimmed and clear coated, but ive just came across a powdercoat thats a silver chrome , but might ruin the look of the alloy as it has a machined face.

For those that haven't seen how serious tyre stretching can go:

The Potenzas are damn good tyres from what I've heard

Look forward to seeing the BCs, it's about god damned time someone sorted some rebound adjustable suspension for the 133!
