Wheel and Tyre Question/Information Thread

[BI65ND]

Not 100% sure who would do it, never looked into it. It wouldn't be a normal tyre shop though, I think it would be a pretty specialised place to do them though, because it wouldnt be as simple as lining them up and drilling straight through like with rotors. You would need the holes to taper in from the face.

Does anyone have a pic of a white MR with white 15" wheels, preferably with 205/50/15 tires?

Volk Rays... if you're looking for the $700 ones you need to search for Vork Ravs. Genuine Volks go for 2k upwards. Shoulda got in quicker, Res just sold a set for cheap.

Price guides for sizes/inset

FYI current market is $1=83.3YEN so 70,000yen is $840 a wheel so x4 is $3,360+gst so $3,696 +shipping so roughly $4k to get them to australia.

Re: Mitsubishi lancer ce wheels

CE Lancers have a stud pattern of 4x100. Just make sure you get a set that matches.

Re: Mitsubishi lancer ce wheels

What is the offset of the rims for correct fitment (especially when putting 16/17's on from 14")?

 

[Res]

Re: Mitsubishi lancer ce wheels

what do u consider "correct fitment" ?
flush, poke, regular?

flush = approx +30
poke = approx +20
regular = approx +40

***does depend on width tho

Re: Mitsubishi lancer ce wheels

Something that does not rub the crap out of the inner guards when turning is a good start

Currently looking for something a little bigger then the 14's so thought I would ask (not a hijack)

 

[Res]

Re: Mitsubishi lancer ce wheels

17x7 +40 is a very safe bet
its also a common size/offset wheel
