Thanks guys, Jamsey does have the SSR SP1 mine are wokmiester S1, very similar wheel though, only visable difference is the studs stop in-between the spokes on the SSR but go all the way round on the Works.

marcAB10 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) What was the damage on these mate if you dont mind me asking...pm if you dont want to post it up!? I am wanting to get a set of Work VS-XX pos from MVP and just want to get an idea!? $3469 delivered, so about £2150 ish. there will be import tax on top of that too and then buying tyres.

Westy Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 i think i was around £2k tpft on honda delsol VTi when i was about 19... insane money really, i would never pay that now for a honda but at the time if it's your pride and joy you just accept it. I don't regret it, so i guess it was ok. and i agree that phoning direct is how you get the best quotes, online always seems way more expensive. Wrong thread I think bud!?

Westy Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Sorry bud! Price seems fair tbh. Do you have any idea what the import tax will be!? What rate is it at!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Nice choice of wheels, with regards to what size tyres look stretched it depends on the tyre, ive found falkens come up very skinny where pilot sports are very wide for the stated width.

Yup, totally agree. Falkens are way under their specified size IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I emailed Falken themselves regarding this and got said email back Thany your for your email, the size 275/40R18 fits on a 9.0-11.0J rim so that would be one fitment that would be ok. The dimensions on this are Overall diameter 676mm and rolling circumference 2060mm with a section width of 275mm. We also list 275/35R18 9.0-11.0J OD 653MM RC 1990MM SW 277MM 285/35R18 9.5-11.0J OD 657MM RC 2005MM SW 285MM I hope this is of use.

So i guess if people are saying i'd need to run 275/265 to avoid rubbing then if i get 275 falken 452's (if they are a little skinnier than usual) then that would be the best option?

The ones on mine are Falkens bud. If you are looking for exactly the same stretch as mine you will need to run the 285 falken equivilant (25.4mm to an inch, yours are 1" wider meaning you need approx 25mm more, 20 is the easiest compromise), for more or less you just adjust accordingly. I think 265s should sit flush on 10" (254mm is 10"), not sure what falken are playing at really. If going with a different brand you may be able to go as low as 265s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 This is a falken 275 on a 11" wide wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
