As title, anyone got any pics? I'm considering going for it.

 

these are 10x17 rear





sorry its an wagon

 

I would def go for the 10inch rears, I remember seeing a photo of Eillmer Guido`s (sp) sapphire with them on in split rim form, was really tastey.

 

Nice one mate, did you have any problems with them catching on the inner arch? Also what offset were they?

Cheers

 

its not my car , its a mates , i think they are ET20 . the car is lowerd 40 and it dont rub the inner arch. 235\40-17.....

the front wheels is 8,5x17 ET13...............

 

Looks ace, i reckon i'm gonna go for it. Gonna have a measure up and see.

 

found this one on my computer
dont now how wide they are but i think you can find that here some where

love this car this was my inspiration for my 2wd sapph looks the bollox

 

that is awesome, that colour looks gd aswell.

 

......isn't ur a 4x4....???.........then they'll have to be the same on the front aswell

 

Yes it is mate, but i'm looking into keeping the same rolling radius. But on the other hand my diff is fucked so i'm considering converting it to 2wd too

 

i've thought about going for this 'euro' look i think its called , but i was worried about the issues with the 4x4 system . i fancied a set of borbet or azev a with polished dish on mine with 9" rears but that stage has passed lol , just waiting on my set of shark tooth being refurbed at moment .

still think wider rears look ace tho .

cheers
gaz .

 

Ellmer-autosport Sapph looks wikid

 

here are some more



LOL

 

I dont see the point in fitting 9 -10inch wheels to then stick a tyre designed to fit on an 8inch wheel. Might just be me but i think stretched tyres looks wank. If you are doing it so you can fit wider tyres i think its a good idea and will look very good[back wheels on the white saph for example].

 

agree nash- if i do it i'll be going for a 255 or 265 or something

 

Looks good then imo.

Word of warning though i have 235's on the back of mine and there's very little room left under there.

 

Have you done any arch work? Need to have a good measure and work out space tomorrow i think

 

Cossie Rich is the best person to talk to or Martin Hadland. He has 235 R888 which actually measures 243 and they are very tight to the inside, they also had to roll the outer arches.

 

you will have to flare the arch on the rear.. and the inner arch will rub like anything..it did when i ran 235's.

 

I have 235/40/18 on 8" with R888 on the rear of mine & they need a fair bit done not to rub under hard cornering or with a full load. Had my arches rolled orginally but have now had them completely cut away to clear. My car is standard road height.
