What size are these wheels ?

[MAF260]

Yes the FD rims are wider, and I am fitting 245/275 tyres instesd of the stock 235/265 to mine.

Get those rims on your car, Mike! Dying to see them.

I think I will go for 19s with 35 front 30 rears

Just finding a set now!

Def go wider rather than bigger...19's max.....

Have you thought about GT wheels? I quite like the look of the trident multispoke type, and with spacers the rears should fit (unless someonen here knows different??

Think il keep them to be honest, not sure how long it will take me to find a set I like... I keep finding sets online but the company's are not sure if they will fit over the brakes , hmmmmmm

With the different bolt PCD and thinnest spacer would be 20mm.
With the offset of the GT wheels, they would stick out too much.
Saying that someone in Oz has fitted QP wheels to a GS, but I think major work was carried out on the wheels not a simple bolt on adapter. Never did find out what was actually done.

Mike,
How much wider than the stock ones are the FD rims and is there a good choice of tyres in the size..??
Cheers

IIRC, they are half an inch wider front and rear. Tyre choice is great; you can keep the standard 235/265 (as I did) or you can opt for the recommended 245/275 which is what I might do when I change the tyres in the very near future.

On the list to do!

Correct half an inch wider front and back.
They are also very light compared to the original rims.

I don't think FD have sold many in the UK to be honest, maybe, they might now catch on...

I've got 19" rims on my 3200 GT, they fit perfectly aided by some spacers. I think 20" would be too big to be honest.

I think the rims in the OP is Work Varianza T1S and that they are 19", a very nice setup.

Here's a pic of mine:

It's not lowered at all, and that's why the rims may seem a bit small.

 

[hodroyd]

They look nice Alecci, were you forced to put spacers on for clearance, or was that just an option you chose..??

Spacers were required for clearance at the front, but not at the rear. I put spacers at the rear as well as track would otherwise be wider at front, and because of looks obviously as I want the wheels to be flush with the fenders.

Only needs lowering now...

 

[hodroyd]

Looking good, how much are you going down...10mm, or more..??

More than 10 mm I think, something like perhaps 30 mm or thereabouts. Will use coilovers when the time comes, however, not the OEM items.

 

[hodroyd]

WOW, 30mm, that's quite a chunk..!!
