wheel size help

[darcy]

Hi guy. After a long hard think I have decided to go for 17"s on my 97 1.9 zed.
As I'm going low I want a little bit of air between me and the road so....
Can someone help me with offset and width please.
I'm after stagged wheels with a small amount of stretch upfront and a little at the rear. 8"/9" 225 tyres maybe? Don't want them to poke out really just sit flush.

Hi Darcy,

Standard offset for a zed is around 40 but you could either go down to around 30 or use spacers to get it looking flush. 8 to 8.5" with 225's will give you a slight amount of stretch and you could go for 9.5" rears with 235/245 for a staggered setup with stretch.

I have deleted you double post by the way

I had a set of 18" on a audi that where 8/9 225 tyres and looked smart. Not alot of stretch but went user the arches nicely
So a et35 would be about right at a guess in 8/9 225 tyres. Only the slimmer 1.9 body (
Thanks for deleting the double post btw

This is a useful tool to help you work out off sets. Put in your current wheel sizes, and then the proposed new ones and it will give you and idea of how much room you may or may not have...

There is also another similar one which others on here have used - but I haven't!

I used the second link when looking for a set up i could live with interms of offset.
Its a great tool as said start with what you have fitted then add what you want to fit and it gives you a verbal answer and a pictorial one too.....Great tool....
