Lovely wheels mate really suit the car

[KrisB]

The wheels are rota boosts in 17`s

[MikeyG]

Looks great! I have gold Boosts on my black Rev3 tho so Im a bit biased!

[BigBoyNinja12]

Very nice indeed.....

Fitment advice......Are they the 17x8 with 35 offset, or the 17 x7.5 with 45 offset?

Have you used spacers?

And are you getting any rubbage at all?

Thanks

^^^what he said^^^
staggered set up
do you have a pic from the front corner to see how flush they sit with the arches?
sweet rims btw

[MikeyG]

Mine are staggered yes. 17x8 on the back and 17x7.5 on the front. Mine rubbed on the front strut as I have some aftermarked Jap suspension set up so I have used 5mm spacers on the front.

I really really do like the wheels..... good choice. =D>

what size tyres?
you too krisb? tyre sizes
getting really tempted by some of these in gunmetal (almost black)

[MikeyG]

I think mine are 215/40/17 tyres on the front and 235/40/17 on the rear.

Go for it mate they look really nice in the flesh and Gunmetal is a bit different also.

[KrisB]

tyre sizes are 215/40/17 front on 7.7 inch rim and 245/35/17 on 8 inch rime tyres are falkens( were on speacial )





front are close and sit in a little think going to get some 5mm spacers MickeyG- where did you get yours from ?

[MikeyG]

Got mine from Powerhouse in Derby but I think they have caused some vibration through the steering wheel. May get some more expensive ones later. I think Eibach make good ones.

[Andy Jones]

Do like the Boost on the 2 =D> Shame the 7.5j isn't available et35-38 to fit better with aftermarket suspension

If the vibration only started when you put the 5mm spacers on chances are the wheel/spigot ring is no longer sat on the hub and the wheel studs are taking the weight of the car - Problem with the 2 (and the majority of Jap cars) they don't have a very generous hub (doesn't matter with stock alloys) but becomes a problem when you start using non-hubcentric spacers with aftermarket stuff. 3mm spacers are usually fine (depends on the taper on the spigot ring if fitted) but i've previously tried 5mm on mine a while back to try and space out the rears but didn't bother as the spacer meant the spigot ring in the back of the wheel was no longer sat on the rear hub properly and i only got 3 full turns an the wheel nuts - Not advisable to be honest if this is the case, Worst case scenario is snapped wheel studs and wheel falling off
