wheel fitment advice
i know there will probably be scrubbing but i can get the arches rolled. I just wanted to make sure they won't foul the suspension struts or have problems on full lock etc.
cheers.
Hi i'm looking at getting wheels that are 18 x 8.5 ET35 as was wondering whether they will fit an IS200?

If you are at stock ride height, you may not even need arches rolled, as long as the tyres are not too wide.
Just out of interest, what size tyres would you run on them?

ad: It was a tough call to make, but the Supercharged IS200 is being retired. ad:One thing is for sure, you should not have any problems with fouling suspension, Bounty runs 9.5Js all round, and Sam B runs 10.5J rears (with a TONNE of camber and massive stretch) and they seem to clear everything OK. (Both those guys with arch rolling too, of course.)
ad: It was a tough call to make, but the Supercharged IS200 is being retired. ad:Well I have always been told you can get 9.5J on the rear without rolling arches, but will need arches rolled if also lowered. I think this may mean you can get 8.5J on without rolling, even if lowered. Though this would depend on how low you are (-50mm is about what I will go for, though nutters like Ormi run at -100mm!) and also on what tyre you run. You can get up to a 255/35 width on the rear, but to maximise clearance you might want to run a slight stretch, 225/40/18 or something like that.

I've got money saved up to pay off insurance in a lump sum next month and after that i should have enough left for the wheels i want. it needs them desperately because it's lowered and has the legana bumper the rubbish offset on the standard wheels looks terrible lol.

Yeah, same here. I think winter will ruin them! Which wheels did you have in mind?
