9.5J Wheels?

[George Murray]

Anyone running 9.5j alloys on an is200? I've seen a set i quite fancy, but i'm concerned about the width, especially on the fronts. I'm just waiting for the seller to get back to me with the offset

[Monster-Mat]

i run them on the back no problems, i think you will seriously struggle to run them on the front without any issues, the widest i use on the front is 8.5

[Medlar]

If your car is lowered like mine 60 mil 9j up dont have a hope of fitting without cutting and rolling the arches.

Standard i couldnt see a problem with them fitting.

[George Murray]

Cheers guys, think i'm gonna give them a miss this time

[George Murray]

How about these then?

Set of Work Equip alloys

Offset 22 i think. The guy who's selling them said he doesn't know how wide they are, due to no stamps except a works one on the wheel itself. I think, judging by other wheels i've seen, that the front are 17" x 8j, and the rear are 17" x 9j. Fronts are fitted with 235/45/17, and the rears 255/40/17. Weird that the fronts have a higher profile, but they need replacing anyway

Came off a 95 supra

offset of 22..these WILL NOT go in a is200 with out arch extensions!!! offset of 35 sits flush with the arch so i would hate too see how far out a et 22 would sit..

[George Murray]

Turns out that they're not et22, and he doesn't know what they are. Its really frustrating, as these would look perfect on my is, but i dont wanna buy them if they stick out of the arches. As said above, they came off a '95 supra, but don't they have pretty huge arches?

[ormi]

tell him to stop being lazy and go have a look on the back of his wheels.....its normally stamped on them..

and yes the supra has huge rear arches

[George Murray]

Apparently no stamps, but thats the second set of Work alloys that i've been told have no stamps on the rear. I really want these, but whats the likelyhood that these will fit? I know its hard to tell without the proper measurements though

[ormi]

ask the boy if you can go and try them on?

[George Murray]

Too far away unfortunately. Think i'm losing patience with him tbh. Have found another set of wheels which i'm leaning towards and are much more is200 friendly

17" x 7.5J fronts running 215/45/17 tyres ET35

17" x 8.5J rears running 235/45/17 tyres ET38

Just have to see how everything pans out

[ormi]

why not 18's??tbh i wish i'd have got 19's as the 18's still look small..

[George Murray]

Same old story, nothing really about that i like, and that are in my price range

[trackerman]

There's a set of "Buddy Club" wheels on E**y at the moment,8x19, E.T 38,a similar style to the Aero rims in silver with a polished lip,brand new for 499 !

[George Murray]

Don't want 19"s though, and buddy club are more a honda thing arn't they?

[trackerman]

Not so much,more Jap and don't forget the car make isn't important,the spec of the wheels is the most important.
