Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 2m 8d Posted 18/03/13 10:11 PM Share Posted 18/03/13 10:11 PM Put a deposit down today at ozzy for some new rims and rubber, just waiting for the rubber to show up now. I must admit it was a hard choice on which rims to pick as there are so many damn choices these days. But I ended up going with the Vertini drift in black chrome 20 inch, fronts are 8.5 and rears 10 so staggered, with Pirelli P Zero rubber. Dont ask me what type of Pirelli P Zero's they are cause I don't know.Finally my car wont look stock anymore lol, can't wait.http://www.ozzytyres.com.au/store/wheel-tyre-packages/vertini-drift-20x8-5-5x114-3-black-wheel-tyre-package-1.htmlYea I heard they're a bit of pain to deal with, I haven't gone through them fortunately enough!What offsets did you get and what size tyres?

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 2m 8d Posted 19/03/13 02:32 AM Share Posted 19/03/13 02:32 AM Bit of stretch hey lol! I would have gone opposite on the offsets, because your rear will be flush n front will sit in heaps, not sure if its too late?I had the exact same tyres up until 2 days ago when the fronts were changed! Going from a 225/35 to a 245/35 the turn in is so much better and get way less understeer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He showed me today a F6 ute with the 255 rubber which looked good. As far as the offset goes he told me that it would be done by the guys in sydney they have done heaps of these before and would give me the best offset for the car. Am I convinced! not yet but we will wait and see. Also not sure weather or not the staggered rims would make any difference as far as the look with the offset?

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 2m 8d Posted 19/03/13 09:30 AM Share Posted 19/03/13 09:30 AM Mate I have 255/35 on the rear at the moment. I'll be at work 2moro night and you can have a look if you want? I don't like it, I'd rather 275//30 for more gripWell if you went a +25 or lower on the front it will look more flush all around but becomes less practical because you need to roll guards etc. Im 95% sure you won't ever be able to fit a 245/35 on the front with a +40. I put a 5mm spacer on my +42 and just got it on.Think about it. Stock rims are 18x8 +35. So a 20x8.5 is 6.5ishmm wider each side, so why would they go 5mm closer to the inside when the rim is already 6.5mm closer in at +35? I highly suggest you ask for a +35, that's a very good/safe offset for good tyres etc. As for the rear I would go +38 or even +40 so if you lower the car and have big tyres there's less chance of rubbing on the guards.I'm just speaking from experience. My wheels were bought at ozzy and I guarantee they did to the guy I bought them off what they're doing to you. They made +38 rear and +42 front on my vertinis and the front should have been +35 but the buyer probably never suggested the offsets.Anyway like I said my car will be parked near the restaurant between 6 and 11 2moro night so feel free to have a look. I have 245/35 +37 on the front and 255/35 +38 on the rear. 3sl front, 4sl rear and rear guards are rolled and pumped. Front -0.7deg camber, rear -1 deg camber. All things I think that need to be considered when choosing wheels and tyres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking 19s with a bigger sidewall for performance, I'm interested in corner speed over straight line but still prob 275 rear if possible.
