What happened to the price of wheels? I'm looking at $750 rims alone (for rota too!) plus $200 a corner for cheap **** tyres! I'd love D1Rs but I've got 17s on my AW at the moment and the ride is ****, most of the cool 5 spokes are 17+ and the ones offered in 15/16 are crap or the width of my thumb.

Yours too mate ;) I think the only thing different between our cars cosmetically is your hood and my black indicators.

Paid $1100 wheels and tyres from Taleb Tyres, delivered to my door back in 2011.

I also have the D1Rs on my car - love them, until I gutter-rashed one of the front ones :(

I have the 17x8 +33 (215 wide tyre) for the front - fairly flush, and 17x9 +35 (255 wide though) for the rear. No rolling of fenders required either.

I have the D1R's in silver,
17x8 +32 on the front and it clears my Tien SuperStreets by 1mm :P
17x9 +30 on the back and I had to roll the lips and try to flare it when I painted the car so I could get the rims to clear, to much rubbing.

I know this is really old but I just had to post... that was my old SW20. Those Lenso's fit perfect, I used the website I've posted half a dozen times to get the right offset; They didn't scuff or scrub anywhere, under any driving condition but it was stock suspension.

I always wondered what happened to that car, ended up the same as SIKCVC by the looks of things.

Better days:

Ah ok, I must have misread when he wrote "some might be less than 8 inches in width", thats not possible for an 8 inch wide wheel. Either way the diagram shows some good info for wheel specs.

Thats pretty much what he is saying.

some 8" wheels with the lip will measure in excess of 8". others a little less. it all depends on the wheel.

Isn't the wheel width the inside dimmension between the flanges? The outside width can vary for same wheel width due to different flange width/design, but can not be less than the wheel width (plus a bit to allow for minimum flange width)?

Shocks on springs actually have more clearange than coilovers because where the wheel sits, its below the perch, so no spring in the way. coilovers the spring comes down past where the perch is on standard strut/spring combo so will foul in more cases than standard (hopefully that made sense).

As for the some wheels of that size fitting and others fouling, NOT ALL WHEELS ARE THE SAME. some 8" wheels with the lip will measure in excess of 8". others a little less. it all depends on the wheel.

So the fronts will almost definately hit on shocks and springs if there just fouling on coilovers at +33?

I'm running the same offset on the front of mine with my gramlights. You would NOT get any closer than what these run with my JIC coilovers. The inside of the front right wheel has the slightest scuff ring around it from where the tyre has distorted under weight and has rubbed on the collar. Hasn't been enough to take any of the rubber off the upraised words though. But that's very fine with +33. Rears you will be fine.

Hell yeah they look awesome. Id probably have gone something like work meister's but for the price and weight these are a brilliant wheel.
Does that other thread mention what sizes etc they are running or if they were running coilovers as well?
