Hey guys!

well I found a company of e-bay that seems to sell really good rims, at really good prices:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Bl...16355728QQrdZ1

I called them up since I saw that in the add it says they have staggered sets avaliable, and they can get different offsets in all the wheels they make.

So my question to you guys is:

1. Should I get them in a staggered set (front 18x8.5 Rear 18x9.5) or just the normal front and rear set 18x8.5?
2. What offset should I get them in? considering that I want to get beefy tires (front 225/45/18 rear 245/45/18)
3. what do you think about these at all? worth it or not?

P.S what is the overall proper offset on the jag?

 

Staggered FTW, since it is RWD! I'd say go for it, but make sure that 245's on 9.5" rims in the back fit!

 

Ok I am trying to get into contact with these guys..

-bigdreams what does FTW mean?? lol..

Overall what offset should I get on them?? since they custom make the wheels?

I don't want rubbing or any of that..

LMK

 

FTW-For The Win!

 

245 will fit just fine. I have 245/35r20's and i don't have any rubbing in the back. It's the front that rubs a little. Easy enough fix though, i just roled the fenders and haven't had any issues. Go for the 245's, you'll want all that rubber on the road in the back end.

 

GUYS!!! WHAT offset SHOULD I GET!!! I need to order the rims today.. and I am not sure of the offset!!!

Please lMK ASAP

Thanks,

Cooool! Can't wait for the pics!

 

Hey guys


So my rims came in today!

There is one problem with them though. they are rubbing against my freaking brake calipers,,, and I have the stock V6 brakes that are considered "small"

So I am going to have to get spacers now.. i think 5mm should be enough to get them cleared on the front and like 3mm should be enough for the back.. Any reccomendations you guys have on the spacers?? and also will i need longer wheel studs or no?

any link for spacers or wheel studs are deeply appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

For 3mm, or 5mm spacers, I don't think so, but I'd double check and make sure that the stud is long enough to have the wheel be securly on!

 

Are longer wheel studs avaliable?? where can i get them,, and how hard are they to put on?

Thanks,
Paul
