Tommo - Lupo Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Im wanting to get some banded steelies ordered for the lupo and wanting them to sit flush with the arches but be a wide as possible, as the police round where i live give points out like candy for rims sitting out further then the arches!So im wondering what (J) & (et) sit best on the lupo without any arch work!cheersLuke Edited December 20, 2011 by Tommo - Lupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuaar Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 All depends on the offset, tyre size, ride height, camber. Got any particular steels in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo - Lupo Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) http://www.ebay.co.u...b#ht_500wt_1413bud i need to find out what offset they are.. I'm thinking 8J on the rear rapped in 195,45,13R, but would that fit with the right offsetnot sure about the front Edited December 20, 2011 by Tommo - Lupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiea7x Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 nt bad for he price but remember youll have to pay another 150 + getting them powdercoated and tyres on top so will work out quite expensive in the end, are u prepared to pay around 500-600 for steel wheels?

Newnesie Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I would say that if you want 8j rears you would want a final offset of around 30-35, add a touche of camer and you should be good to go. But as said it depends on your height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newnesie Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Your best bet would probably be 185/45's out back if you have an offset of around 30. So the stretch wouldn't be to big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
