First of all Im looking to get these refurbished. Then either planning to colour code the centre and have the rim polished or go for diamond cutting. Can anybody advise on these two as Im a bit clueless as to what looks good.

Also, after that I have been instructed to get new tyres and ask for a bit of stretch.

Then Im planning to roll the arches, and add a little bit of camber on the wheels , apparently.

Will a little bit of camber significantly increase the wearing of the wheels?

If any one has comments for some or all of the above , I would much appreciate it as always,


Simon

 

p.s. does anyone know what accessories i can get for these wheels i.e. advan caps etc, and where from in the uk?

Thanks

(so many questions..)

 

We can't tell you any of those thing without the wheel specs.

 

Advan SA3R. all around in ET38. 8J Front, 9J rear.

 

17's or 18's? This will change the complete tire spec.

As for the refinish I am not familiar with diamond cutting but I personally am not a fan of the polished lip on wheels. I do like when the lip is either the same color as the face or a contrasting color. For instance.



As for the fitment you will need to orll all your fenders and run about 2 degrees of camber all around. Do that and you should be able to run a 225 front and 255 rear.

 

apologies! 17 inch.

 

Will that camber wear the tires more than normal?

 

Cool. So 225/45/17 front and 255/40/17 rear for the tires. You could also run oem ap2 sizes for a little more clearance which are 215/45/17 front and 245/40/17 rears.

 

Yep great I had 215/45/17 front and 245/40/17 rears.


thanks

 

Here's 2.8° of camber. ~7,000 miles of driving and 3-4 track days. You really won't notice THAT much of a difference.
