Hi,
Did anyone test this setup?

2 pair of ap1 16 inch rear wheels in 235/50/16 in all corners + coilovers?

I know its more easy to go on 17s and do it but... just wanted to know

kind regards.

 

try to bolt the AP1 rears on to the front hubs and report back your findings.











Or i'll save it. The set-up you're looking at will work. However, the rear wheel hub more is too small to fit over the larger front hubs. Its designed to keep people from bolting the wider rears on the front by accident and then oversteering into a tree.

To do this, you'll need to have the hub bore enlarged to fit the front hubs. You should do it to all 4 wheels so you can do proper tire rotations if you're going to go through the trouble at all.

 

The problem with drilling the wheel bigger is load capacity. The OE wheels have enough load capacity for the car they are going on. If you drill the hub out you will lower the load capacity of the wheel. Is it enough to make a difference? I can not say but I would not want to try it.

 

The way around that is to simply add a 5mm spacer to the front. Then no boring is needed because the smaller rim bore stands off from the hub. Its no longer "hub centric" but its the front, who cares. Many do this with great success on track/street ap2's

 

thank you very much guys, I did not test to put rears at front jejeje, I would have seen the diference then

Ill go for a 17s

kind regards.
