mycarsux Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Ok chill with making 4 thread of the same topic. You'll get a response when someone who knows the answer will respond. Making 4 threads is NOT going to get you a quicker answer. You could have have the answer by now if you did the research yourself instead of giving the mods trouble. Go home.

zimmy709 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 stop the anger... if you are still here man... there are a lot of things to consider when choosing wheels more than just size... it all depends on what your intentions are for the car. if you are going more for the looks of it then you can do about whatever you want to compliment your cars look. I personally (my car is built more to autocross) would look for a light weight wheel about 16" is perfect imo (yea i know i have 17's... ignore that i wish they were 16, i WAS planning on going with Wilwoods, not anymore) its not too much tire that you get sidewall roll in turns and its a good way to save unsprung weight by having a smaller wheel. Offset is important as well. depending on how low you plan on going you will have to have an offset that will alow your wheel to tuck under your fender. otherwise there is a thing called "dave point" im sure there is a better name than that, however that is what i have herd of it being called. this is the imaginary line that continues from the center of your coilover to the ground. the ideal place for this imaginary line is to hit the very center of where your tire track contacts the ground. That is the best way to find the ideal wheel offset for your car (assuming the ideal offset is possible on your car without making tires rub wheel wells... etc. another thing is traction... off the line traction is going to be higher with the larger sidewall tire as the sidewall may flex easier to give you a larger contact patch but basically as far as the ride quality goes... bigger wheel= smaller tire sidewall= rougher ride/more responsive handling. Smaller wheel= larger tire sidewall= smoother ride/less responsive handling good luck with your wheel choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
