RIMS :D

Post by MikeFTO »

Hey guys, I have been looking at a few rims lately and apparently if u get the dimensions wrong it will scrape on the body kit (which is pretty obvious) I was just wondering what are the correct measurements and dimensions to overcome this problem.

i am looking at 18-20 inch tri spoke advan rims for my fto, they look something like this: http://wheelsyo.com.au/wheels/wp-conten ... 933020.jpg

i would also like to know everyones opinion on how they will look on a white FTO

Thanks a lot guys :)

They could look good on the FTO but you would be pushing to get a good smooth ride due to the fact that you would be running rubber bands as tyres.

They don't look too bad... not a fan of chrome though. I think black is the way to go and I would prob be looking at 17" rather than 18's or 20's.......... I'm looking for wheels atm aswell for my VRX... DRIFT TEK :P

Any higher than 17s and like Aza said, not a big enough tyre profile will fit into the hub and youll get a crappy ride. Get some nice 17s
I fix cars.
