So i'm looking at getting the er cf widebody especially since my front bumper is now damaged..

To this effect, some wheels to fill it out are needed.. Then some extra width in the rear.. Basically i'm after:
Front: 18*10+20-25 (22/23 precisely)
Rear: 18*10 +30-35 (34 from memory)

If 10" is too rare/hard or whatever, i'm happy with a 9.5.. And appropriately lowered offsets

If you know of a 19 or a 17 (though they wont fit the brakes i want.. And 19's are unneccessarily huge too..) feel free to add that in

I'd rather not go custom due to being 1k/wheel too

Thanks heaps!

Front wheels are too wide in my mind.

What do you think of this.
Front: 18"
Rear: 19"

I have been thinking that should i order 19" for rear, it can look better.

Currently 18*8.5 +45 et .. Geometry is spot on when comparing to stock too

Body kit is +2.5 inches per corner

I'd rather 18" front (to clear 355mm brakes) and rear 17" to put down more power and clear 330mm brakes.

That would be PERFECT for me, i like the staggered small rear look too, but the 18's look hot currently too, i'm pretty easy

The thing with 19's.. I like minimal clearane between brakes and wheel, 19's would add a full inch :/

People normally don't run a reverse staggered like that. Most guys normally do a standard double staggered. For example, 18x8.5's front, 19x9.5's rear etc. Since you plan on getting a wide body, you can get away with a 18x9.5 front, 19x10 rear? Not too sure, wide bodies are iffy. Best bet would be to put on the kit first and test wheels after.

From everyone that's put it on, my current wheel fitment, and the specs on the kit, going from a 8.5 +45 to a 10 +22 gives an Exactly 2.5" increase though lets say i'll go up to +30 front which would still clear on the inside.

The reason rear has higher offset.. Well basically i whipped out the tape measure, 1" on the rear (9.5+45>10"+34) is perfectly square track with the front given the current measurements and difference... From talking with the makers, it's pretty precisely measured apparently.. And according to them you can fit a 10.5 up front with some squeezing

Another post here has 18*9.5 +30, which i'd be willing to run if a 10" can't be found.. Though thats on a 135 (different track as far asi'm aware), and is a little sunk with no camber at all

It's the ER widebody


What's the point of doing 18" front and 19" rear? Bigger brakes in the front, smaller in the rear.. Each kg of weight in the wheel is less power to the ground.. It may look okay, but it is STUPID... Actually it looks crap, too much clearance between rear caliper and wheel.

Yeah i'll get the kit first and just test with spacers, but i've been searching for wheels for a while now with no luk hence the post

Just go with a similar setup that ER did with the widebody kit on their car... see below...

Wheels: Forgeline Competition ZX3R with titanium fasteners

Front: 18x10 +24
Spacer: none

Rear: 18x10 +62
Spacer: none

Tires:
Front Yokohama Neova AD07 285/30/18
Rear Yokohama Neova AD07 285/30/18

Suspension/Fender Mods/Camber:

KW Clubsport - Lowered quite a bit (sorry don't have exact number)
KW Upper Camber Plate (included with KW Clubsport) - Camber, secret :wink:
Evolution Racewerks Wide Body Front Fender

Notes:

Front: Will not fit with stock fender
Rears: Did not roll the rear quarter panel. Slight rub on inner plastic liner. No rub on fender. If you roll the fender, it might tuck the plastic liner higher and might not rub at all anymore.

That would be under-square by over an inch on the rear, which would be less balanced.. Stock, 135i hubs have wider track on the rear

I have 9.5 + 45 atm and for the outer edge of the tyre to be square it has to be an inch widened and 10" +20-25

Also, $1000 a wheel is what i'm trying avoid, seeming impossible
For that price would be a set of volks or ssr's new or bbs lm's etc.
