Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 13y 11m 5d Posted 28/05/14 11:00 PM Share Posted 28/05/14 11:00 PM I would go +25 front and +40 rear. They're only 18's so you shouldn't have any guard issues but if you lower the car heaps the guards may need a slight roll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BongoKongo Member 19 Member For: 14y 14d Posted 29/05/14 03:32 AM Share Posted 29/05/14 03:32 AM Thanks for that info guys it was a big help to us.Anyway my son is ordering a staggered set of machined silver with polished lip D1R's 18x8.5 +37 front18x9.5 +40 rears fitted with budget Achillies ATR sport 245/40 rubber on the front & 265/40 rubber on the rear.They come with caps, wheel nuts, fitted balanced for $1875 delivered to his door.It would have cost him $2518 for the same size TSW Cathage with the same budget tyres driving in & buying them from a retailer.But the retailer said that he would only fit 8's on the front & would not fit 8.5's.I will post a photo when he gets em on the old girl.

BongoKongo Member 19 Member For: 14y 14d Posted 29/05/14 07:36 AM Share Posted 29/05/14 07:36 AM (edited) Just an Update:I spoke to George from Rollenso wheels in NSW & he gave me the name of a guy who owns a Tyre retail outlet up in Brisbane that he deals with.So,,, "to cut a long story short" After speaking with the guy in Brisbane ( who then phoned George at Lorennso Wheels) we managed to work out a good deal & we will now be able to get the same D1R's from him (in Bris) & not have to pay any freight.All up for the exact same wheels & Tyre deal will now only cost us $17300 for the set fitted.That is 2x18x8.5 +37 with 245/40's for the front and 2x18x 9.5 +40 with 265/35's on the rear.A pretty good deal considering some of the stooges we spoke to tried to charge us $450 bucks each for the same D1R wheel without tyres.And I don't care how good TSW are, I couldn't justify letting my son pay $500.00+ dollars for one Cathage Alloy wheel.ATR has been known to split at the side walls. Can you get ATR 2Yes I can get ATR 2, but @ extra cost I would think. although I doubt that there would be a great difference in price between the two.

Its meant to be $1,730 or One thousand seven hundred and thirty dollars.Come on guys I may not be up to scratch on sizes & offset but surely you would have realized it was a typo especially when I said that we had purchased them cheaper than the $1875 that I quoted in my previous post.lol8.5+37 is a horrible offset, to the point where its going to look like a mistake....... yep like factory rubbishso what offset would you suggest I put on a BA front & still keep the wheels inside the guards? I was told that the 5x114.3 18x8.5 D1R's only come with either +25,+37 or +42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
