i have gone for 4 times 9.5j x 18. The 1M has a bit of understeer with staggered setup. So i went for 255/35/18 all-round semi s. I think it wil have a good balance.

Front wheels need no spacer but it needs a center hub ring to fit. They are 12mm wider then original wheel front. Rear 9.5 j x 18 need aproxx 15mm spacer with bigger hub ring.


Alex shop did you use a front spacer also and what tires sizes?

with the current suspension / alignment setup 1M didn't have any understeer with the staggered setup. It actually felt very good

We used 5mm front and 18mm rear but it can go up to 7/20 as well ... tires are MPSC 265/35 295/30

Ok

The more camber you have the more extreme you can go with spacers. I will go to 1.5 a 2 degree camber.

You can actually use spacers in stock configuration without changing the camber.

Since this is a Track wheel and not a Road wheel you would naturally want to adjust your suspension setting to street/track use.

We have 3 sets coming in the next few weeks. 2 of which are already sold. If you are interested, we can take your order and make all the necessary hardware to make them fit your car.
