wheels
so the time has come for me to start looking for some new wheels for my car..
Requirements:
1. has to clear spoon calipers
2. has to be bronze
3. 17" and with good width/offset but not requiring other mods (guard rolling, excess camber etc) and no scrubbing/other issues.
4. same specs front and rear to allow for rotating of tyres
5. made in jap and costs less dan 2k
Choices so far:
1. Work 11r in bronze
Preferred sizes: 17*8 +35 (semi-concave), 3mm less inner, 23mm extra outer
17*9+38 (full concave) 18mm less inner, 32mm extra outer
specs sheet
2. Work xt7 in bronze
Preferred sizes:
17*9+38 (full concave) 18mm less inner, 32mm extra outer
(17*8 is flat face so dont want that)
specs sheet
offset calculator for your reference
Also, was looking at tire sizes using this tool
my best tyre option looks like 235/45/17 which can fit 7.5-9 inches. Any wider and its 3% more than my orignal diameter and therefore apparantly affect brake perfomance. is 235 or 225 better option?
Will also need to get speedo re-calibrated after all this, so was wondering where and how much?
If you have any other suggestions for wheels (must meet all requirements) let me know. Awaiting your inputs!!
