New wheels for S3

[DeanRX7]

Not much with a spacer but the 5's seem to have a lot more options.

Why? You really cannot find anything 4.114.3?

Deano, there's loads of 4x114.3 wheels about in all styles and offsets. You can't be looking hard enough (I mean that as encouragement, bro)

Hell, I even found 2 sets of 4x110 this week!

OK...this is where you find out how little I know about wheels. I have found some with the 114.3 but the off set is not the 20mm I need. Is it as simple as buy say the ET40 ones and buying a 20mm spacer?

What would happen if I buy the ET40 and put them one without a spacer? Can I buy the space saver wheel for the boot at 114.3 and not use a spacer on it, just to get me home or to a servo to get the flat fixed?

What width are you going for? Required offset ddepends on width.

I dare say that a 7" wheel with +10 ofset will fit. Apparently 8" in +10 fits too, but not without a guard roll if the suspension is too low and the tyres are too wide.

Mine are 7.5 and +23, fits perfect no matter how low, unrolled guards and with 205 r-spec tyres which were more like a 225, so i reckon 7" +10 with 195's would be a piece of piss.

I'm rubbish with of festa but stay with me. The higher the ET, the less "poke".

ET40s will probably hit the springs or perch. That type if offset is for FWD. I could run them with hub adaptors, but there'll be no dish, so no dice.

A 0-10 offset will give you the right look, depending upon how wide your rims are.

Here's a ET10 6.5J on an RX2 from tonight:



Tell us what wheels you like and maybe someone will find you some.

Call me stupid but i am finding it hard to find any 114.3x4 wheels with the et0 to et10 In the netherlands. Second hand of course. The space saver wheel my guess its that pretty closet to et0 so i should be able to find one of those easy enough. thanks tool for your help.

Dude, i just typed 15 x 7 114.3 into ebay and got inundated with new and old school jdm. Here is one ad i chose at random from some of the UK listings http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DARE-RS-15-x ... 4d1929f424 i cant imagine postage from UK to Holland being that prohibitive.

You're fucking welcome by the way.

Here is another link. These guys do all sorts off knock-offs of classic and JDM. Dont know if there is a European distributor. http://www.rotawheels.com/

Yes, there's a UK distributor for Rota Wheels and I've seen their display stand at Japfest. They've got loads of 4x114.3.

4x110, that's another matter.
