camdawgs Member 49 Member For: 13y 7m 8d Posted 27/02/12 01:16 PM Share Posted 27/02/12 01:16 PM After some info on thes rims, after contacting local tire joints in Adelaide I have been led to believe the 19" version of these will not clear the brembo brakes on my phoon, where is the 20" will. Unfortunatly I have huge doubts as to whether 20s will fit on my car as it is dumped to all hell ( dont know what springs) and the 19"s only just clear as is ( currently running standard phoon rims, not the twisties or the Dark Argens).Just wondering what are my options here on getting these rims fitted to my car as I NEED THESE RIMS. they come in the followingg sizes19x8.519.9.519x10.5now unfortunately I have no idea what any of these numbers mean except the first number is the size of the rim!Is it a bad idea to put spacers on a car that you regularly give a hiding? will it affect any other mechanical aspects of the car. Will tyres for these rims be any different than that of a normal 19" rim?thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79105-vertini-drift-rims/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know vertini McLaren will fit 20 x 8.5 +36 and 20 x 10 +42. Maybe the supplier can take measurements of the McLaren. We got ours from Ozzy Tyres. It would be better to stay with a 9.5 as a 10.5 will rub and be a hasle. 19 would be better than 20s. Just get the tyre shop to order them in a test fit. You may have to run +30 on the front. When they test fit they start with say a +36 and then keep adding spacers until it clears. Then if it doesnt stick out to far or rub , you just take the spacer width away from the offset and that's what you order. EASY.5 x 114.3 is the bolt patternBelow is the offsets and sizes availiable. Size Offset (mm) Weight (lbs) Per Rim 19" x10.5" 5/114.3 25 - $348.99 19" x 8.5" 5/112 35 - $292.99 19" x 8.5" 5/114.3 35 - $292.99 19" x 8.5" 5/114.3 45 - $292.99 19" x 8.5" 5/120 35 - $292.99 19" x 9" 5/114.3 20 - $292.99 19" x 9.5" 5/112 35 - $309.99 19" x 9.5" 5/114.3 35 - $309.99 19" x 9.5" 5/120 35 - $309.99 20" x 10" 5/112 35 - $340.99 20" x 10" 5/114.3 35 - $340.99 20" x10.5" 5/114.3 30 - $340.99 20" x 10.5" 5/120 42 - $340.99 20" x 8.5" 5/112 35 - $313.99 20" x 8.5" 5/114.3 35 - $313.99 20" x 9" 5/114.3 20 - $313.99 20" x 9" 5/120 35 - $313.99 Edited 27/02/12 02:43 PM by arronm Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79105-vertini-drift-rims/#findComment-1202807 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back will fit but the front may touch the caliper. you could run a 3 or 5mm spacer , but they are illegal. Get the tyre shop to get them in for you to try. Try wheelworx. or adelaide tyrepower Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79105-vertini-drift-rims/#findComment-1203275 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy 19X9 +20 front... then if you need too, shave 5 mm off the offset to make them +25... They will clear Brembos... Run 245/35/19s and the stretch will allow them to fit fine...Buy 19X9.5 +35 rears... 285/30/19s will be perfect...

I was thinking of getting vertini savari and ozzy got then in for me to try. And 5mm is not a shave. A wheel hub is made a certain thickness with the wheel nuts recessed to give a certain cross section to bolt to. Reducing it by 5mm may dramatically reduce the structural strength of the wheel. If a wheel failed it would be an insurance nightmare. And I know as I have been asked by insurance companies to asses wheels before.

camdawgs Member 49 Member For: 13y 7m 8d Posted 28/02/12 01:10 PM Author Share Posted 28/02/12 01:10 PM I think at the moment wheelworx do not have them in stock in adelaide> and if they do its only in 20". And unfortuntely their is no Ozzytyres in SA.Im not keen on shaving anythnig on my car!!! I might go down to wheelworx and explaint he situation and see what we can work out!

Would be fine to take 5mm off their +20 as they have a very thick wall between hub and nut... I was going to do this before I sold mine Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79105-vertini-drift-rims/#findComment-1203751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
