Question is what size tires do I need so not to cause any tc problems ??

 

There 18x9 front plus my 25 mm spacers

And 18x10 rear plus 30 mm spacers

 

Any help would be appreciated :)

I run 18x8.75 and 18x9.75 with standard tyres. Reckon thats the limit stretch wise but each alloy is different - ie they might state 10" rim but when you measure two differing brands there may be difference.

FWIW If i keep mine, I'll be swapping to 275 back and 245 fronts when (if !!!!) my tyres need changing.

Can take a side on pic if it helps shpwing standard tyres on above rims?

What is the offset of the wheels themselves? if they are less than 35 you will definitely have contact arch problems with those spacers.

 

Was waiting for someone to ask this vital question...

 

I am assuming they are weak as he is using a 30mm spacer, but we would need to know the ET to comment on tyre sizes.

Dish/lip like that on a 10J has got to be offset of -20 or even more, youll need the spacers to clear your brakes and then youll need severe arch modification to fit the wheels under as well. Comme ca:

Thats 10J ET -16 running with a 25mm spacer, and it only just clears the brakes .......... you may also notice the 70mm odd arch extension that was needed to make it fit as well ;)

I think youre a little wide of the mark here TBH mate - if youre buying wheels brand new then why not get better offsets and lose the spacers, and I still maintain theres no way a 10J ET22 will have 5 inches of lip like in that top picture - a quick fag packet calculation suggests that the midpoint will be 127mm from the face, if you then take 22mm off for the offset it leaves 105mm which means even if the mounting face is only 30mm deep (which it wont be) youve only got 3 inches of wheel remaining for the lip.

 

A 10J ET 22 with a 30mm spacer is effectively 10J ET -8 anyway which would require a fair amount of archwork to get it to fit as well, Id head back to the drawing board for a bit before you go shelling out any cash ;)

There +22 rear

And +30 front

Godspeed omega rims

 

Still waiting email back to confirm shipping but there 8 hrs difference so should have email later tonight I hope

 

 

Are you sure they are positive and not negative offset? Z wheels are normally negative offset.
