what size wheels are possible fits on ae86's? - Drifting forum

PeterT · 14-05-2008, 10:54

Just looking to get some new bigger wheels, and wondering when the point of arch rolling comes into play? theres a pair of 15x8 -15 bad boys, but i reckon theyd need serious enough rollage?

theres also a set of 15 inch 8.5J +7 for sale, with a good bit of stretch could iget away with it??

OPINIONS!

you could get away eith those, but the bigger you go then you start fouling the strut. there are so many different wheels floating about you just have to test fit.

suspension makes a difference too. nice and bouncy limits your choice. make them rock hard and you can go wide.

aye i get ya. mines fairly feckin stiff, and not on bumpy roads too hard to often. Ive coilovers on the back which i know is not that commen on 86's, they see quite close to wheels already compared to the front....maybe spacers if needs be? then id need to roll though eh

put it this way. 14x9j +6 i think. i had to back space them 25mm or more iirc and they hung out. but they didn't rub as my suspension is nice and stiff.

Arches have been rolled and lower suspension arms at the front have been extended.
