These rims on an AU

Moya · 05-10-2005, 04:06 PM

Anyone got an AU with these rims, or similar?

Also, anyone know how much the stock 16" steelies weight on an AU2? Are they 7 or 7.5 wide?

Thanks.

They (**edit** stockies) are 16 x 7 - no idea of weight, sorry.

Gives more incentive for a "big brake" upgrade :evil3:

Anyone wanna photochop them onto this pic?

I've seen them on late EFs which are lowered, and they definately look hot and have the muscle car look as opposed to the gay chrome look.

Another question, tempe on the site have "$1800 Wide Pack (Deep Dish on Rear)" - Does this mean the front rim will be this but the rears will be these? If so, won't that look weird? Is 8.5 too big on the rear of an AU?

Depends on how far I go with under the hood

I was thinking of getting these with the 9.5 at the rear. No stock at the time lol....
They look great but they do look small when used to 5 spokes etc going to the very end of the rim.
With the right offset 9.5 at the rear is no worries have tried some and watch this space hehehe

they didn't have 9.5 rears going back 4 weeks ago - my mate these exact rims for his skyrine. he had to settle for 8.5 all round with 235 front and 255 rear.
DO NOT go for this setup. the front tyre is not wideenough for the rim, the rubber rim protector is behind the rim of the wheel on the front 235's and is extremely open for scratchs and scuffs.

Different size offsets front and back? Better talk to your insurance company before purchase. They might not like it. Had this problem with an XB I owned a while back.
