Title: Aftermarket Rims
Post by: Patt93 on Mar 26, 2013, 10:32PM
Hey guys,

Still fairly new to everything but i was looking to buy some after rims off a mate interstate
and was just wondering what the maximum width i would people able to fit (without modification) on a stock u12 pintara.

Cheers

i think the largest wheel i see most of the time is 17x7 with a decent offset and either 205/40 or 215/40 profile tyres. anything wider than that, or a different profile tyre to that, you will need to roll the guards.

pretty sure you can go 17x7.5 with the right offset and tyres that have a little stretch.

17x8 +32 is a good size on 215/45 or 225/40

I'm having slight issue on 17x8 +25 on 215/45

On a TRX, maximum width you can legally run is 1" wider than standard, so 7" is the maximum width you can legally run.

On any other U12, because they came with 5.5" width wheels from the factory, technically you can only run 6.5" as the maximum, but you can be sneaky and grab a tyre placard sticker from a TRX and stick it in the glove box, replacing the original one.

i have had 17x9.5 +30 all round on my car but it rubbed a touch, ok a bit. now i have settled for 18x8.5+30 racing harts on gold yes i know its a 13 but they just as hard to get wheels for, i have a set of 17x7.5 in +22 in black and 4 stud if anyones interested.

i have 14x6.5's on my u12 right now and there really close to rubbing on my front fenders. my rears have 25mm wheel spacers and my fenders are rolled to shit, i mean seriously they look fucked. wich i wanted to ask, anyone run bolt on overs on here? i could use some and i need to know what chassis to get them for.
