banded steels

[steve01536]

basically i want to put some banded steels on the sax, atm it has vtr wheels but at the back the tyre is sitting in the arch by about half an inch. Would i get banded steels with about 3 to 4 inch band on without the tyre hitting the arch due to the sticking out a bit?

[saxo_singh]

If you have stretch tyres then should be fine.

[mirrorblanks]

depends on what steelies you use to start with, offset after banding aswell and overall width

[steve01536]

im wanting standard citroen steels realy, what sort of offset do you think?

[mirrorblanks]

well they are et15 or thereabouts to start with, they will end up negative et by the time they are banded

[steve01536]

[steve01536]

will that be ok then, if i band a et 15 steel by about a 3 inch band will it clear the arch?

[mirrorblanks]

depends how wide they are to start

[mirrorblanks]

with banded steelies the band is 99% of the time put on the outside, so just fit the standard steel to car and get a tape measure and measure 3 inches outwards from the lip/rim, you'll see if itsdo able or not then

maybe you should look in threads that aren't in the styling section, thats my area of expertise

[samueljonburgess]

thats his for sale thread for a set of steels :)

[mirrorblanks]

chris keeps changing his mind wether he wants to sell them or not

[samueljonburgess]

atleast his got someone to ask that has an idea about pokage tho....

[mirrorblanks]

i know about poke

[steve01536]

do like i said with measuring and get stretched tyres

[steve01536]

Thats how it sits at the min if that helps?

[mirrorblanks]

pics of wheels now have no relation to where they will sit tbh, you'll need a steelie to fit and then measure

[mirrorblanks]

pretty wide tho lol


only 7.5'' and 8.5''

[steve01536]

can you tell by that pic or is it defo a measuring jobby

[steve01536]

ah ok , is j same as inches?

[mirrorblanks]

no point with that pic becasue they are vtr wheels with big tyres on, its a measure job, easiest way

[mirrorblanks]

ah ok , is j same as inches?

pretty much when it comes to wheels

[samueljonburgess]

only 7.5'' and 8.5''


thats all he wanted to know ;)

[mirrorblanks]

thats all he wanted to know ;)

what??

[samueljonburgess]

is how wide he can go before having any trouble...

my wheels are 7.5" and i have 20mm spacers on the back :)

[mirrorblanks]

you can go wider than 8.5 though, quite a few people running 9'' rears and seen 9.5's on a belguim saxo

[samueljonburgess]

thats all he wants to know is how wide he can go :)

[timmythechef]

i think 8.5 on the arse is plenty of poke myself, stance is stop on IMO

[steve01536]

lol you reckon they would squeeze under then ? his looks lower than mine in that for sale pic so should be ok plus the tyre stretch would help, wonder if he still wants to sell

[samueljonburgess]

pm him mate only way u will find out :) if he doesnt want to sell iam sure he will help with sorting a set out :)

the steels i have are 7inch's mate with out being banded :)

[steve01536]

iv pmed him, im thinking if the thread is inside his arch it would be same on mine then the poke sticks out just under the arch
