sportmax wheels - anyone used them

[16bit]

these are only going to be a street wheel so they will not get that much of a workout. stay tuned for when they come in.

who did you end up going through 16bit? JDM will be dropping their prices soon, so i have been told.

Thats an 8 +12 with pulled guards, 8 +0 Sportmaxx would sit even further out



8.5 +6 (sits the same distance out as an 8 +0) with reasonably stock guard, but it was still sitting on the jack, so I guess they'd tuck in a bit more but you still need to pump the guard a heap to get them in neatly I think

ADAM! what a tease!!! show us some shots of those jems!

what tyres you running, is there any scrubbing etc and how much lower is your can from stock

They're not Sportmaxx's, just wanted to show a similar offset since people were wondering how they'd fit

My car is looow. Not as low as it could go, but I wouldnt want to drive it any lower on the street

I should have my new combo in about a month - you will just have to wait and see.

just want to add that those pics are with no camber as the car is up in the air, they'll tuck in quite a bit when the car is back on all 4's

at least that's what it looks like, if you can correct me please do

Fitment looks good.
Whats your centre to fender distance?

[Adam_NAclubman]

No idea, I had it fairly even all round before I started rolling the guards but now I need to set them all again as I had to extend the coilovers to get the guard roller in, then when I brought them back down I dont think I got them even again

I got the 9.5kg weight from this ad. Maybe its a slightly different style sportmax, hence, extra weight.

spokes are quite a bit thicker so probably correct.

what size tire are you using?

[Adam_NAclubman]

195/45/15 front, 195/50/15 rear

[16bit]

sh*t me they tyre stretch a bit. would that compromise handling?

[Sheck]

streching the tyre makes the sidewall stiffer, so it should make handling better

But you need a bit of flex to grip, good on the back if you slide.
