Will these wheels fit? - Saxperience

Vinootje · 19th June 2018, 18:07

So i want to buy these wheels and paint them white.

The sizes are:
4x108
2x 195/40R16 80V
2x 165/50R16 75V
ET:31

Will they fit/do i need spacers?

I think you will need spacers as they are wider tyre than the originals, i would get 10mm spacers to be safe, and you will need longer bolts

I think they will not rub, the rears are going to be the 165/50 ones?

Thanks for your reply, i dont have experience with widened steel.

Well i think i need spacers to, but only if the wheels come with spacers + bolts i am intrested. well i have no idea of the 195 goes to the rear or front, most logical for me to put the 195 on front.

Well is there anything i should know about widened steel u can tell me?
i will ask where the wheels are welded, how long ago etc.

195 better on the fronts, because rear they will rub i think.

If you get spacers get them hubcentric trust me they are more expensive but better in the long run. 10mm or 15mm should be fine. Depends on how wide the rim is also.

I got 10mm for mine and 50mm long bolts to go with the spacers

Be careful of widened steel, they dont have the same strength as normal wheel because they are holding with a weld in the centre, if you hit a pothole or a big hole in the road the rim will likely break and it will be a potential hazard.

Its only my opinion anyways, its your car

No no just no. very little knowledge. Banded steel wheels are just as safe as normal steel wheels if done correctly.

zetecmk2 · 23rd June 2018, 19:00

normal steels are also welded

I made the conclusion to not buy them, they asked 200€ for the whole set including spacers. to good to be true in my opinion and the seller could'nt tell me how and where they were widened. so that is a no go for me. I have a question regarding indianapolis rims

Anyone knows if these fit on a saxo 8v vtr 99 without spacers?
What the ET and J sizes are?

Youre right but that is if as you said "done correctly" , if you didmt do them you dont know how they were done but you have a valid point yes

You would love to have a set of indianapolis rims? well i searched 2 months for them and found a damaged set, did my best with restoring them and painting them white, i must say when my window banner is removed and with my original grill with the emblem painted white my car looks darn clean.

Jonathancilia · 25th July 2018, 18:05

Woah i really love that look! Would love to find a set one day
