Does anyone on here run 8x17 on the front and 9x17 on the rear on their 3dr?

At what ET?? running the width of wheel isn't always the problem it's the OFFSET that has to be right, type of wheel and brake set up

Calibre wheels mate, not sure what the offset should be 30-35? Im running standard stoppers.

Seems like everyone with a 3dr is buying these wheels at the min as their is threads opening up all over the place.

I think someone should open a thread in the general section and have a discussion then you'll all get the right wheels.

Personally i think the new 17" Lenso look better and they do them in an array of colours

But if you go for the Calibre then

ET35 WITH 8 FRONT AND 9 REAR

Same as mine but you will have to cut your front arches right out and trim the plastic arches right back as mine running as low as i do used to touch on the front until i stiffened the coil overs right up. Same as the rear with 400+ it squats hard and drags the rear tyres so the arches have to have major surgery

Mine runs ET30 front and ET22 on the back with same dimensions as yours

i wasnt going to run it too low, but ive got a arch rolling kit to roll the archs when i fit them along with ive trimmed the kit thats not needed

These are a one piece wheel right?

Do they make them in a variety of offsets?

rsmark86

iTrader: (3)

yes they are mate can order what ever you want mate

TCR

Ok.

So if they are one piece, how do they do them in any offset you want?

Surely they would have to be manufactured with a certain offset?

rsmark86

iTrader: (3)

no they are have them in blanks and just need drilling to correct stud pattern and maching to your offset....

check out my 3dr cosworth rebuild thread in restorations on here theres some pics of mine in the boxes

TCR

Oh, so they actually machine them in one piece to whatever offset you want?

Wow, I would've thought that'd be a very expensive process.

BTW, nice job on the resto

TCR

Hey Brammer, Are you running 17x8" rears or 17x8.5" rears?

BRAMMER

8.5" rear and 7.5" front

TCR

Ah ok, I thought I'd read somewhere else that you had 8" rims.

They are some of the best fitting wheels I've seen yet.

Thanks.
