XXR, CCW knockoffs

[johnjohnsons54]

What do you guys think is the biggest tire size you could run, front and rear, on these wheels with minor fender rolling?

I just bought a nice e30 with a 1.5 inch drop and an s50 swap and I might be looking to put more rubber under the back end.

I was considering the idea of having some CCW's made up but like most, I don't really feel like coughing up $2500. I love CCW's......but I must admit that I do like these cheapies

edit: It looks like 16x8 et20 is about perfect to fit some 225/45/16's! Nice!

I run (4) 16x8 +20

Tires - 225/40/16 with rolled fenders.

Nice! That's exactly what I'm looking to run actually although I would do 225/45/16's if they'll fit.

Has anyone actually received these wheels yet or still waiting on the pre order?

[johnjohnsons54]

I would tend to agree that this exact wheel spec and tire size is absolutely perfect. Beautiful e30 BTW....fat and flush FTW!

Why 205? That will look quite odd...




Why are the offsets 'gay'? 16x8 et20 is absolutely perfect.




Exactly...

16x8 et20 with 225.45.16 is literally perfect and it's the exact same rolling diameter as stock. I really want a set of these... My old E30 had this spec wheel/tire and looks perfect.

Still waiting on pre order.

Does anyone know if these require 10mm spacers up front? I know some rims will not clear front brakes.

Are you on stock brakes?

[AE86]

Are you on stock brakes?

Yes sir, stock brakes.

Sometimes these types of wheels don't clear brake calipers without some spacers.

[acolella76]

Hard to say for sure since it looks like they haven't shipped any yet...

[bernzpeed]

we are arranging a group buy for it.

PM SENT!

How much of a savings are they considering?

BTW: sales rep said, 531's clears front stock calipers.

[AwakenNoMore]

Interesting, but would they clear FC RX-7 calipers? That's what I would like to know. I have a sneaking suspicion they don't and that the path i planned on taking. :/

[Aahj]
