So now that the bodykit is looking secure and will soon be here.... time to think about the wheels, width, offset and spacers etc..
Pukkasilvia, would you mind sharing specs on your wheels because they are the perfect look for these boxy hatchbacks... they look like minilights.. but I'd like to see the specs and prices if you have them.....
We are hoping to use 16x7 rims at the moment, as we have a shed load of part worn A032's street legal race tyres... 205/50-16 currently considering volvo s40 BBS Crater wheels, as they are plentiful and strong enough for some drifting/accidental kerbing abuse... but the offset at ET43 is pretty shallow and will need something like a 50mm spacer to get the wheel out in these GP arches which look about as wide as yours...
I am thinking about a ET25 offset and maybe a narrower spacer... although we can fine tune it later.... with perhaps a fixed (bolted on and studded)spacer at 30mm and have 8 10mm flat spacers laser cut to use to fine tune the front and rear track width, wondering if maybe we can fine tune the balance of the car by altering track width in a similar way to how you set up a gokart... might be cheaper than buying fully adjustable proflex shocks, and allow us to keep the billies we have on there now!
Thoughts...??
Mike.
