I got a set of 15x8 +25 coming as we speak. I'll let you know on fitment once I get it haha. Car's lowered 2 1/2 inches too so it will be interesting.
Hi mike yeah that would be fantastic seeing how yours will fit,defo would like to see a pic or two and how it fits,what wheels are they or is it a secret lol
Managed to find one pic of cmoo,s car although car did look really raised up but was looking for more of a drop with wide n small wheels
Will have to keep on searching if I find anything lol
They are the Enkei Apache2 :D
Just had a look very nice wheels,interesting to see how they fit and look once you get them as il be goin for same specs :)
What wheels are you looking into getting?
Ronal turbo jbw os4 :)
My wife said 9.5" is enough...haha!
Plus it doesnt count if your car is not on the road yet!! ;)
If you were looking for track/performance I would suggest the 6UL Wheels - build quality, weight and price are all pretty fantastic. Different aesthetic though...

nice wheels. i may have to order a set!
Right change of plan,think I'm goin for et0 16,s 8j with arch rolled in and some slight camber,
Mike have you got your wheels yet buddy?
Thanks
My wheels come in on Tuesday or wednesday according to the tracking number!
pics of em on your car please!!!
I got my my wheels on now 15x8 +25 and this is how they sit. Fronts poke out more then the rears. With this set up it actually doesnt rub at all because of the tire stretch vs my old set up with 15x6.5 +38 with a 6mm spacer. So I think you might be able to get away with having 16x8 without having to do too much extra work with fitting them. Car is lowered 2.5 inches.
Nice,is that on coilovers? Will you be goin any lower than that to close the gap abit between tyre n arch?
Il be goin for 16 8j but with an 0et,I know they will stick out with 0et but hopefully the coilovers will adjust the camber as iv seen another members car on here who had xxr in gold wheels
Yeah I might drop it a bit more. The new wheels sure made it a bigger gap because of the stretch. Its on BC coilovers.
Double post
Still having doubts that a 16inch wheel et25 8j will clear the struts and not have any problems due to fact that its a 16?
So in other words just if anyone knows if a 16 8j et25 wil be ok and not touch against the struts.
Thanks
can u take a photo of the backspacing to the coilover spring and spring mount in the rear
i ran 16x7et42 with a 3mm spacer in the rear. that was a little close. looking for a set of 15x8s for a track setup.
Yeah if I have some time then ill throw it up on the hoist at work and take some pics probably lowering another inch in the front and another 1/2 inch in the rear
