New 15x8 wheel coming!

[Massive Lee]

Hi Joel

It is true that the aluminum rim will be closer, but...

Don't forget that wether it is mounted on 7" or 8" wheel, both with the same offset, the center of the tire remains at the same place as the offset has stayed the same. The mid shoulders (where usually rubs) also remains at the sam place. It is only around the rib, that it moves.

Bingo. Offsets, wheel widths, and section widths get complicated when you want to cut it close. Hence why I'm so abused around here.

I never knew/realized that........!!!!


and it makes sense.


( Did you/any1 ever confirm if any of the e30 BBK's work on the 7.5 et25 ACT LS?)

THANKS

Any consideration for a 15x9 wheel? I'm sure there must be a market for it since 6UL/949 makes a set.

What type of rubber do you expect to mount on 15 x 9 and how many do you think are interested in another 9" wheel. As you pointed out, the 6UL/949 already exists. Is there really a need for another one?

The 6UL just sucks for the offset in 15x9. The 15x8 here will clear your massive race kit Lee, though for better clearance (more than 3mm) its best to have the wheel weights moved away from the edge of the spokes.

So he can run 275 rubber at the track!
What a fag. :(

Wow. Great news. Do you have any picture? I have a long list of trackers who would really appreciate knowing for sure if the 15" x 8" TRM wheel and Race kit are "good friends".

TIA

i would be interested in 16x9's.


needs spacers. 5mm up front, 10mm in the rear. if you want flush, that is.

they wont by chance be making these ET0? IMO the offsets are still too high.

I agree. Too wide for 225's and not wide enough for 275's (better than 8" though)

Here's a 275 on a 15x8 rota with 1/4" spacer LOL
