this is what I wanted to know thanks.
so an 8" +36 will be flush (or 101.6mm - 36mm = 65.6mm) therefore on a 7" id need a 20mm spacer on my +45 7" to sit flush?

i'd go a 25mm spacer and dial in about 2d15' camber on the front and 1d15' on the rear. (roughly)
personally i'd get the correct offset rims. |

I have 8" +38 and that's fine. Close, but fine.
Could easily go a +25 at the front due to tucking the top with camber.

there is no max legel size for wheels in qld, it all has to do with the tyre. +15mm rolling diameter and +33% width. fit whatever wheel you wanna fit to that, as long as the top of the wheel+tyre is inside the guards/arches from above view.
15x8 +36 rims fitted with 225/45R15 tyres is legal with 2-3mm play space using 1d30' camber could go a +25 rim, will need to add 1d45' camber to keep the top of the package inside the panelwork. Last edited by project.r.racing; 25-07-2012 at 07:54 PM. |

yeah sorry, you do have the requirement of the track being +25mm max. so yes legally you can only go as low as a +33mm offset wheel.
19x10 is legal, as long i can find a tyre that fits the above requirements, (which i doubt). |

Do not exist. 15x6.5, 16x7 or 17x7 is it.
You should have bought those 16x8 +35 MS-0Fs i had.

Correct. I should have grabbed that set off Dan. So I wait until another set comes up I guess! I'll pump the guards anyway before I paint the car so there's no real rush but I was just curious as to what would fit.

correct. i had a browse on IM as you can use it virtually as you would ebay in english which is nice. a few options in the ideal rim specs. nothing took my fancy. is there a site with rims from some of the larger manufacturers with a "find me a rim in these specs or close to" search? i looked at rays but it was fairly light on details/options listed

Hope do you guys think a set of 15x8 +25 would fit?
More specifically these: Guessing a guard flare would be required... Last edited by himynameisbunny; 19-09-2012 at 05:23 AM. |

8" +35 is the most you can go without major work. Stock is something like 6.5" +45...
If you care, the above is the max legal width too. I did do the calculations only a few weeks ago.

And a quick eBay search shows that you can have any decent 15x8 wheel you like - as long as it's +25 or less Last edited by himynameisbunny; 19-09-2012 at 07:04 AM. |
