forget my other thread for swaps or what ever this is the new thread.....

my 18" ultralite wheels are now for sale only! they are 18" ultralite split rim style alloy wheels painted in gold.

(these wheels had a polished edge and were a bit worse for wear, so therefore i am in the process of refurbing the polished lips but instead of being polished they will be aluminium colour, so no need to worry about laquer peel or corrosion.)

i wasnt happy selling them like they were before but once redone will be immaculate.

pics of the wheels on my car.
collection from chesterfield, derbyshire
im looking for £300.

hi there, all as i know is they are 5x100. the tyres are very good indeed and are 215/35 18. the make are toyo proxes on the rear and just budgets on the front...

there should be ET (then a number) on the inside of the wheel, that is the offset. are u able to check?

trackcar

iTrader: (1)

im unable to check at the moment mate as they still on the car.

They will be ET42 as this is the standard offset for an Ultralite Spec i have a set hence why i'm posting. Hope that helps chaps.

ok mate will await pics off them refurb but v.v.v interested...

oh BTW do you know if they will fit over 330mm brakes?

STI_Baly

iTrader: (23)

>EDIT> Not unless it's a custom caliper of some sort with spacers. No chance in standard form mate

sti_baly- thanks buddy.

will start the refurb on these tomorrow. they will deffo clear the 330mm brakes.

angusallan

Thanks STI_Baly. I think I will be need an offset closer to ET 50 for my Terzo. I tried a set 18's that my mate had on his blob eye and i think the offset was 40 on them- and they were rubbing on the arch.

Do u get any rubbing on the type r with these wheels? do u have a standard suspension setup?

If it turns out that ET42 will be ok for my car then i am interested too.

Thanks,

Angus

i now have coilovers fitted to my type r and these wheels dont catch anywhere, they sit and fill the arches lovely, the 35 profile helps though tbh

scoobydoe

will they go over the brembos on my02 sti?

STI_Baly

iTrader: (23)

I have cusco coilovers on mine and the car is decked.....i mean front bumper scrapes when going up car park ramps to the next level hehe....but i'm running 215/35/18's and no scraping with the arches.

STI_Baly

iTrader: (23)

I would suggest contacting Ian Godney and confirming that the type of brembos you have will clear this wheel in all honesty as have checked with my mate who runs the same wheels and he says they will not clear.

dilbob

iTrader: (9)

baly any pics off them on your TYPE R?

seriously tempted to get these...

STI_Baly

iTrader: (23)

Sorry to be a pain with these posts >>> But just checked with a mate who also runs the same wheels and he has confirmed these will not fit over brembos and will not fit 330mm brakes so apologies to all who may have been mislead with my information as i said it would clear 330's earlier. i did not take the curve of the spoke to the outer rim into consideration, these are a tight fit on the subaru 4 pots with 295mm discs.

You may be able to get other calipers under there with larger discs but i would say you will need to run 10 to 20mm spacers to make it happen, but best to speak to Ian at godspeed or Alyn at AS performance on what can be done.

I have this 4 pot setup on my Terzo, although its a tight fit does it clear?

if i was to buy these does anyone know if i would have any problems with clearance in my arches? i currently have the Sti bilstein/eibach setup on the car but im on the hunt for a set of coilovers or replacment Sti struts as one of my shocks is on its way out, if you's know of any kicking about let me know.

Looking forward to seeing some pics of the wheels with the aluminium lip.

Thanks,

Angus

295MM discs with Subaru 4 pots and no Spacers on a V3 Type R.......>>

angusallan

iTrader: (4)

Thanks again STI_baly.

If they sit fine in the Type R rear arches they should then technically be fine in my Terzo rear arches(hopefully)lol

just let me know if you want them so i can crack on and get them ready....

dilbob

im going to have to pass they wont fit over my brakes it close with standard four pots

thanks anyways

STI_Baly

The rears are not a problem as you will find that the calipers sit a lot further back on the rears, if you have a look at the centre of your disc you will see how deep this is due to the handbrake shoes which are within this central drum bit.

angusallan

iTrader: (4)

Sorry, i meant will it be ok in the arches- as in will the wheel be rubbing on the arch?

STI_Baly

iTrader: (23)

With 215/35/18's i can assure you there will be no rubbing and i am sure these are 7.5 wide as trackcar is using 215 tyres....some people tend to go for a wider tyre and this is when it starts rubbing.

Trackcar can you please confirm they're 7.5 x18's ???

Lol - thinking about it i should be on commission in here

trackcar

iTrader: (1)
