An interesting wheel alternative.

wow.....that's a big wheel. Gave up on 5 x 114.3?

[chucktoo]

This is a lot cheaper to do .

 

I have been looking at an STi hub/wheel/brake conversions but I have a lot of money in Stoptech brakes I don't want to loose.

[PGT]

sure thing....that price per wheel is almost....dare I say it....cheap?

 

How does the offset work out?? Will it clear your perches and still stay under the fenders?

[chucktoo]

In an Outback - staying under the fenders is not a problem.

 

I need to look again at the clearances I have on the inside on my 8.5" wide wheels with +35mm offset.

 

I may need more like a +20mm rather and +30mm for 9.5" wide wheels.

 

I really think these are a good deal for a big wheel.

 

This would allow 275x40 18s which are 783 rev/mile which is a good match for an Outback. That is a lot of tire - over 3" wider than stock.

that is cheap for that size of wheel

how much do they weight tho!!

[daswrx]

that means that your going to cut the inner finder to clear? 18x9.5 +20 offset?

[chucktoo]

With an Outback I will just leave 2.5 in of clearance between the fender lip and the tire . I got a delivered price of $1399 which think is a good deal.

[JBLU24]

wow thats hot! wonder if they custom make the S2R's also in 19's

[Xenonk]

9.5" at +30mm offset??! dare I say it will work on your car???? I hope you're putting only 255/35/18. Lemme know how that turns out..

 

btw chucktoo, I managed to pick up a set of SSR Competitions in the same 5x100 18"x8.5" +48mm offset for my sedan and they work fine for me.. the tires that are on there are P Zero Corsa 235/40/18.

[Xenonk]

can you find out the price of VS-XX in a 18"x9.5" + 32mm? it has a wonderful 3" lip (75mm).

[chucktoo]

XX is measuring the clearance on my 8.5s with +35 mm offset. From there we can set the offset on the Works.

 

VS-XX does come in 19" with realy wide wheels if they will do them in 5x100.

 

I plan to run 275x40s unless I can get 19" wheels then it would be 275x35s.

This should be enogh tire - any more than this and I worry about breaking drivetrain parts.

 

I never saw the SSRs on my car bu the shop told me they rubbed and pulled them off immediately. So far XX has been great the techs actually build and race their own cars on road courses.

how are you getting enough camber to utilize a 275?
