    wheel experts only please ...........


    Will a 10.5" wheel with an offset of +35 fit on the rear of a t/t without problems :confused:
    Guard lips are rolled,car is dumped low on Tein coilovers and i dont mind running decent camber as the zed is just a toy,not a daily driver

    My 10's are +45 and they appear to sit about right. Haven't got tyres on them though.

    I'll check my

    rims, I have 275x18x35 on the back= perfect fit! Is the offset marked on the rim? if so i'll have a look.

    Mine are 20x10.5, offset is +40 I think. 285/30 tyres, if they were the correct diameter they wouldnt scrub. Shouldnt have an issue with 18's.

    Will fit fine, wouldn't want much than a 295/30/18 on there though. Might scrub your inner guards a little on big bumps, but on the 2 seater thats acceptable. Put a 275 on there if you want a little more clearance.

    I'm running 38 offset with a 295, and can run up to a 35.

    My point exactly :p Just because it says 'racing' in the name of them, doesn't make them racing rims :p

    Weigh the 3peice rims and post the results :)

    hey Simon
    I'm going to run 10.5 on the rears of my 2 seater ,but I'm going to have upper and lower adjustable arms (so can play with offsets).. still think you need a slight quarter pull to get it to fit ,especially if low

    I have 18x10+38s and they sit right under the edge of the guard to the point that if I lowered it I would probably have to pump the guards.

    I have -1 degree camber on the rear so if you are prepared to go higher than that then you will have more clearance than I.

    If I were you I'd probably try to get them with a +45 offset in the rear. Gives you a little more room.

    I don't think it will fit fine, my rears are 10" +30 and they stick out beyond the guard, currently have 265/30/19, i could get a 275/30 under there. :D
    LOWZX i think yours will sit similar to mine as yours are slightly wider, though you have a higher offset.

    Post pics of the rims and hubs you may be able to machine say 5mm off so it sits better on the car especially as its a 2 seater, more room in the guards.
    Though having 10.5" rims with 35 offset = perfect dish along with say a 275/30 or 285/30 tyre bit of stretch will = awesome. :D:D
    Just hope there decent rims not that chrome tempe tyres rubbish
