Light wheel options


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, what light weight wheels are you guys running in 18x10ish? 5x100.

I'm in the market and looking for option's. Currently running 17x9s with 35p.

Or can anyone recommend someone to deal with for them? Something I've never really dealt with.

After light as possible.

Thanks

18x8 is widest I've found in 5x100.

Anyone ever run with success the 20mm converter spacer? 5x100 to 5x114.3?

Yea youre right special order I think. The later hubs are stronger iirc tony/dtech was saying something about it a while ago.

Yeah they are stronger. I kinda went about it the stupid way. Whenless I brought the 6speed sequential I had billet stubs made so I didn't have to change hubs. But now I want to go wider tyres and back to the hub problem. Should have dealt with it at the start. But again, then I'm messing with struts and brakes etc etc. Headache much

Brakes arent an issue with swapping to 5x114 hubs (v9+ STI), brake discs will need to be redrilled or replaced but the caliper mounts are the same so your current stuff should swap straight across.

Suspension strut clevis is wider but it can easily be milled down and the top hole welded up and a new hole drilled. Not complicated...

Thankyou. Doesn't sound as bad as I thought actually.

Are the 5x114 hubs pretty rare? Something I haven't ever kept an eye out for

I had to wreck a whole version 9 to get my set :/

that was about 6 years ago though, I'm sure they will be easier to find now.

Hopefully it doesn't come to that. I actually got quiet a few parts out of Oz for my sequential from a late model sti. Sure I'll find something

Thanks

Are GRB hubs compatible for the swap or are they different to v9 v10?

They are a little different (ABS sensor location, and I think height of steering arm is lower?), but still usable for this application as BLKREX's car has adjustable bump steer bits so would just need adjusting to suit the new set-up...

Wouldn't Enkei do custom order, work wheels do? So you can specify exactly what you want. it's what im doing with my work wheels but im not bothered about lightness.

Yeah I'm sure they would. I'm just trying to decide what to do whether custom wheels or hub change. The entire car has been built around weight so I'm fairly keen to keep it at its 1034kg ish if I can

Light wheels are better all round.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
