S1 HNK Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I know these are the most boring questions to answer, but... Just want to see peoples thought on this set-up: Fronts: 19 x8.5 et22 Rears: 19 x 9.5 et25 I want a nice semi-flush fitment but the car is on Eibach springs so nothing that will rub at all, cant be bothered with arch work. What you guys reckon, should I stick 5mm spacers all round? Also I hear people mention spiggot rings, do these usually come with the wheels as the set i've found are second hand so what do I look out for? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Id be inclined to get the wheels, fit them, and then see if spacers are required, in their current fitment they should go on without any issues... If the spiggot rings aren’t supplied they’re cheap enough to buy, no more than about £10.00 for a set of four… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers If you can avoid spacers I would mate..... but that is still not a bad set up..... could you not try and get them a little bit more aggressive offsets?

S1 HNK Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 The wheels are second hand so thats the offset they are in. I guess ideally I'd want them at +15 for the fronts and +20 for the rears but they aren't far off and I'm fairly sure my previous Nismos were an even less agressive fitment and they always looked good.

Cheers for your help! I think your right about the nismos mate... colin will no doubt be along soon to help us out. I guess with you being lowered aswell... it will help with looks So what style of wheels is it your looking at sir? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Thats not going to hit anything but I dont think its anywhere near ideal either, you could put 10mm on that all the way round without any issues - I reckon if you dont run oversized tyres Id wager that you could go for 15mm, so 8.5 ET7/9.5 ET10 and still fit under the arches. TBH if you are going to buy the wheels anyway then just get them and play with spacers until they sit perfect, its only a few mm here or there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1 HNK Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Yeah i'll just have a play, from the looks of it Nismos are ET25 / ET30 so they should look a little more agressive than those did and I never felt they looked too tucked under the arches. Dont really want to use spacers but think just think 5mm on the back might just make it sit right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
