B.L.Z.BUB Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 and some serious guard work in order to fit the rather wide offset, albeit skinny, wheels that Beau had lined up for the car http://www.excitementcarmagazine.com/out-with-the-ae86-in-with-the-ke70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Just beware those ones i posted are 4x100 offset so FWD junk, You need 4x114.3 ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 In the photo you posted, the car is lowered more than 30mm, looks like it's got shorter shocks all round unless the springs are just cut. I would recommend doing suspension properly before buying wheels. 7 inch width is plenty for an xE7x, if you go for a Rota something more like an RB in 15X7 +4 would be a smarter option as you are on the safer side if you get around to the path of installing longer lower control arms and different diff for example. This particular seller from the states is quick to ship according to another member on here who dealt with them... damn cheap too. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/15-ROTA-RB-BLACK-RIMS-WHEELS-15x7-4-4x114-3-AE86-COROLLA-DATSUN-510-280Z-280ZX-/261051779986?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cc7e60b92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) This is mine. 15 x 7 +5 running 195/50 all I had to do was lip the guards. I have an adjustable panhard rod to center the diff though. Edited August 16, 2012 by B.L.Z.BUB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killcam Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 These are the particular wheels I had my eye on. From what I've been told / read, they sound like they'd be what I'm looking for. Like I said, I'm happy to lip the guards if need be, http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Rota-GRID-Classic-V-15-x-8-4x114-3-0-AE86-KE70-/150671618558?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2314ba71fe Was also looking at picking these springs up, as as far as I'm aware, they're going for a pretty good price, http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TOYOTA-COROLLA-AE-70-KE-70-F-R-LOW-30mm-LOWERED-COIL-KING-SPRINGS-/160763827014?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item256e455346 Thanks for all the advice guys! I'll be sure to post photos once I get it all sorted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Those springs probably wont even take the car low enough to warrant lipping the guards, will probably still be way high. I personally think the 8's may be a bit wide. You may never need bigger than a 195 tyre which 7 inch wheel fits perfectly, unfortunately the grids don't appear to come as a 15X7. I personally wouldn't buy those springs, save money for something a bit better like second hand coilovers for the front and short stroke shocks and lower springs for the rear. Those spring will not make the car low enough to look like the car in the photo you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 ^ I posted a link before, Grid v's come in 7's, it's a fwd stud pattern but i reckon they do 4x114 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killcam Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 That link you posted before doesn't post outside of the US or Canada. But if I can find somewhere that does, for that price, I'd be on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
