darkhorse1210 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hi all tryed searching and found nothing ...What sizes can u fit on fronts and rears of lupos?ThanksI'd recommend you run the same size of wheels front and back...unless you're considering a Hot Rod conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippa Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I'd recommend you run the same size of wheels front and back...unless you're considering a Hot Rod conversionI was thinking 8j bt 8j won't work on front would it?

marcusgrant Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 There isnt really a definite answer to this. There is lots to consider, not just the width, such as tyre size, et, whether you have camber, role your arches etc. Best just to research, see what other people have fitted, how they look and go from there.

Dazz Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I had 15 x 7's on the front of my old 1.4 with 175 50 15 and they worked well, arches weren't rolled and they never scrubbed. Had 195 45 15's on the back and they scrubbed like buggery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAZ 8203 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 it will depend on the et of the wheels aswell so it would be possible to run an 8j wheel on the front if it has a high et so there is alot to consider not just the width Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty_82 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Have you worked out widths and offsets yet ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippa Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Have you worked out widths and offsets yet ?not yet ... im planning on doing the hub work first to make the hubs 5x100 see if they will scrub the inner archas standard with out the 25mm adaptors on ... if they dont then i will have the dish coming all the way to the edge of the arch possibly a little poke not much though i guess its all down to the fronts tbh backs shouldnt be much of a problem i hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Surely the first thing you should have done was to see what people are running width and offset wise before you send the wheels off to be done and then work your extra lip around those figures researched .Sticking an extra 2 inches on the lip and then being undecided as to if they will fit with 25mm adaptors on or having the hub driled is a dam expensive gamble , sit and work out the maths and see if they will fit in theory first .
