Alloy wheel size help?
Can anyone with struts confirm if I can fit 8.5j front and 9.5j on OEM struts?
Or if 9.5j can be fitted to rear coilovers?
Can anyone help or point me in the direction of where to look?
PS If anyone has any decent 17" JDM wheels, PM me pls
Thanks :thumleft:

It's the offset (ET) that matters in this case, any of those sizes should fit depending on the offset, this may help you to visualise it https://www.oponeo.co.uk/blog/wheel-wid ... -explained

Stick with what you have but go for a colour change maybe? Seems less of a headache Andy

It calculates using standard struts, although you have both as an option so doesn't matter rightjuliankv73 wrote: ↑25/07/20 12:29Hi, Thanks for that, Ive looked on the calculator, but doesn't say if that's struts or with coilovers. I looked on the US sits and they go proper mad on there with modifications to fit the widest, craziest wheel combo's.Chris69 wrote: ↑25/07/20 12:24 https://91mr2.com/wheel-and-tire-calculator/index.html
This link should help.
If there were more choice of wheel, I'd stick to 8J et35 front and 9j et 35-38 rear and be happy, but there's just not the choice anymore :(
There is no "it cant be done" only "I cant do it!"
