What 'cheap' wide wheels are people using?

Im looking for options on some wide wheels that dont cost a fortune, ideally sub £1000 and with a minimum of a 10j rear although an 11j would be preferable.

My current wheels are staggered 9.5 fronts and 10 rear but the aggressive offset means i cant get a proper tyre on them which for the time being isnt so bad but come spring next year im hoping to have my big single build underway using a TT head on a GE block and aiming for over 500hp which is not something i want to put through a stretched 235 40 18!!

Eventually il look at a nice set of CCWs or WORKS but with the cost of the turbo build thats not something i can consider at the minute.

Iv found some really nice 11j xxrs but the et20 offset means i still cant get a proper tyre on, need it to be something like et35.

Id like something with abit of dish too but that might be asking too much considering.

Roto or Japan racing! Doubt you will get them under a grand though

The new line of Japan Racing look good, if you go 18s you can have them under a grand but including tyres I doubt it.

Tbh for your budget you need to keep an eye on the secondhand market. I bought my weds wheels for a bargain with new rubber but we're in an awful state. A solid month of my free time saw them looking great by the end. Quality wheels for less than a price of cheap cast wheels

I have a quality set of Wedssport rims for sale for less than a grand mate. Check my sig for the link.

These are a square set-up, same 10" width front and rear. It helps reduce understeer, which is something Toyota built into the car, with the use of a staggered wheel arrangement.

JamieP runs a similar set-up on the M3. It is a well-known method of improving the front end's behaviour when you need to be sure of its ability.

I was going to suggest xxr as I've had a few sets on previous cars

As above keep an eye on the driftworks forum. they have a for sale section just for wheels and there is always some good stuff on there

Just get the works dude I think driftworks do finance options if that helps?

Dont tempt me dave! I have already been on the phone to driftworks about there finance options and very nearly just thought fuck it but then my more sensible self prevailed.

Il check out the driftworks sales section squiffy, thanks

I've bought 11J ET35 rear wheels. With an 305 tyre. Arch needs flaring, but I knew that before I bought them.

For an 11J you'll need an ET45 and a rolled arch.

what would be the perfect offset for 11 inch wide - wondering if its possible an arch roll its avoidable..iv noted the massive lip but i wouldnt roll it up id flapper it out tbh

whats the width limit up front and rear with standard arches?

interesting thread as il be after some wide work meisters shortly so good to see some offset and width info flying around

Something in the range of 45-50 offset for 11", after my own measurement CCW do the 11.5" in a 52 offset (they aren't official figures though so someone may correct me). But you would need to cut or role the arch lip.

This thread might be of interest

My arches are all rolled completely flat which is a massive help.

I want a 295 tyre on the rear so an aggressive 11j with a small amount of stretch would be fine

You can go wider of you want

 

I have all my arches cut and the rears are 11.5j with a 315 tyre with no problems and fronts are 10.5 with 285

Have you thought about going 17s on the rear?

Ive been looking to do this late next year, 11.5j with a 305 or a 315 tyre on the rear. dunno how big a wall but bigger than a 18 would have so more grip. Just a thought.

Can I ask how flush your fronts are, any rubbing or other issues and are your front arches stock or rolled?

Same specs as me if you can remember the car from DB dude, front arches are rolled and on HSD coilovers. No issues with scrubbing at all.

As Style said I have all arches cut back and Tein coilovers and had no problems with rubbing so far. Though I have only driven it once with the new wheels on.

I only have a couple of pics with the new wheels so this is the only pic where you can kind of see how flush they are.. I still might lower the car a tiny bit yet too.

That's good to know.

I've just bought 9.5J ET20's and 255 tyres to go with new Ridox front arches which I'm hoping are 15mm wider as claimed as according to http://www.willtheyfit.com my wheels should stick out 11.3mm more than yours.

That should be spot on then mate ...
