Hi there,
First of all I'd just like to say what an awesome forum you all have going here. The search function here has been the mainstay of a lot of my research for my current project, but the time has come where I have become so over whelmed with all the info I need to ask for your input. Before I get into a few questions for you all to have your input (as I am having a really tough time with wheel selection) a bit of background on the car. 2008 VE SSV 60th anniversary in silver. Bought this just over a year ago and have enjoyed it as is with kingspring SSLs and the factory optioned 20" supersports. Since joining the JC forum I have decided to get involved and get some agressive stance happening.
After reading all the threads around wheel fitment and offset it seems I have become more confused than ever, so my main motivated on asking for all of your learnings and advice when undertaking such a project is that I would like to do this once and do it right.
So, to begin with, I have install OZ racing adjustable coilovers (BC racing/Pedders by any other name). Now has come time to select wheels to get that right look.
The wheels I will be buying are BBS LM as I love the look.
Option 1
BBS LM 235/40/19"x9.5" +20 all round (I think that a 19" may be a bit of a compromise?)
Option 2
BBS LM (staggered fit) 235/35/20"x9.5 front and 255/35/20"x10" or 10.5" rear (what offset would be best?)
Option 3
BBS LM 255/35/20"x10" all round? (offset? +20?)
I haven't put any offset against option 2 and 3 as I am unsure what maximum offset can get away with on such big wheels.
Would you go for a staggered set up? Or would you keep the same size all round for the ability to do tyre rotation etc? Camber doesn't worry me and I'm more than willing to run -2deg to get the right look.
What issues has everyone had or tricks that may be useful?
Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing your feedback.
Jonathan.
