jimser Posted April 10, 2009 Author Posted April 10, 2009 http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html - Give that a hurl Jim cheers stephen,just wondered what width classics run on 17's.8.5 inch equates to 215.89 mm so would need to be 225 minimum
frank c Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Might be worth a look over on 22B.com Jimser. I'm sure i read a thread on something similair recently. Stunning wheels btw, thought about a set myself.. Lucky man
jimser Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 whats wrong with the wheels on your new car jim cheers frank,doesn't look good.probably have to sell them wheels on the new car are fine gareth just don't see the point of having the rays sitting about unused
jimser Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 well no chance of these fitting on a standard classic so what is a set of these wheels worth?
ANDYJDMSTI Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Get a big rubber mallet and some black nasty tape and MAKE them fit!! Show them who the daddy is!!
jimser Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 Get a big rubber mallet and some black nasty tape and MAKE them fit!!Show them who the daddy is!! a wish i could mate,in fact i feel like buying another newage just so i can fit these wheels
colin_ross Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Get a big rubber mallet and some black nasty tape and MAKE them fit!!Show them who the daddy is!! Thats exactly what I did with mine (running 225's)
arch Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Really cant see these fitting. I have 17X8's with 235 tyres with rolled arches and I have issues
jimser Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 Thats exactly what I did with mine (running 225's) same size/offset?
jimser Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 Really cant see these fitting. I have 17X8's with 235 tyres with rolled arches and I have issues cheers arch,i take it 17x7.5 with 225's is about max for a classic?
colin_ross Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Defo 17's and defo 225's but not sure if 8.5. Think they may be 7.5 but as they're rays there will be a sticker to check. I'll get back to you.
jac Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 well no chance of these fitting on a standard classic so what is a set of these wheels worth? £100... will i pay you cash on collection or paypal
jimser Posted April 13, 2009 Author Posted April 13, 2009 £100... will i pay you cash on collection or paypal £100+your ugly bug and you've got a deal

G.T. Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Will these fit a hawkeye sti with a set of whiteline lowering springs? I love the wheels! Just wonder what I'd get for the standard sti wheels?How much tread is on the tires? Stoo the wheels wont fit your car they have a different pcd yours are 114.3 pcd jims are 100 pcd as for selling your sti wheels dont expect too much for them as they only fit 05STIs and newer.
thewelsho Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 the wheels wont fit your car they have a different pcd yours are 114.3 pcd jims are 100 pcdas for selling your sti wheels dont expect too much for them as they only fit 05STIs and newer. And MY05 STi's already have them, so you really wont get much.
jimser Posted April 14, 2009 Author Posted April 14, 2009 wheels are 5x100pcd but pretty irrelevant now as it looks like they're sold
