altezzaclub Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I don't know if they would fit, but remember you don't have power steering. Even 14x6 zero-offsets were heavy in the steering when we used them, and you have a lot more tyre sticking to the road. Do you have a motor big enough to turn them? Also, get a weight of tyre and rim and compare them to what you are using. There might be a lot more weight pounding up and down on the suspension. I ruined my Lotus Europa with a set of Dunlops many years ago, compared to the Pirellis I took off they were banging on the steering over every bump and rattled the car body all the time. 205/50 would be close to stock, but by the time you get to 225/50 it is pushing the diff ratio up by over 5% Still, it will look pretty good if you can get them on!

Brodie day Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 yeah fair call just a work out each time you go for a ride. i haven't even looked at that but i think the best way is to put them on and then see if i need the power to help me turn i think they will look sick if i do get them on my production is that i will need to lip the gards but i am keen to do that as it will look even better i really want to know if they will fit is there anyone you can ask for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 15x8 zero all around on a ke70 with 195/50 will work if you get agressive with a hammer on the guards. My old car with those wheel specs. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fdgb54o4k5ujanj/1473631879560959.jpg?dl=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 My old car with those wheel specs. Jeez!! You hit every part of the whole style there! http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=115592 What did it drive like? Would your auntie or your granny like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Everyone has a different opinion on what "fits". 15*7 +10 with a 195 50 r15 is as big as I would go with reasonable Street suspension, ie softish. Didnt matter how I drove it it, the tyres never rubbed on anything. No point fitting wheels and tyres that are so close to the guard that you are scared to throw it into corners for fear of rubbing tyres.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 I replaced those with 15x9 zero and got a bit more happy with the hammer and it never scrubbed. Cambered front and decent suspension helped. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dmti6upin4woxns/1527252250865588.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/em5m4q0o3yoh2ua/1479637095627104.jpg?dl=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 My wheel were Rotas. Doubt you'd get massive dish with 15x7. Depends on the wheel design, and offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie day Posted August 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 so it has taken some time but i have now got the 8S and they fit nice need to roll the gards a small bit at the front don't know if they turn and i don't think they will go up into to wheel well but i know the fit good 15 8 0 offset don't have them on yet i will need to do the front gards and front weel wells so it will turn and also springs but the bottom line is the will fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
