Looking For Alloys

[cfc1]

I am looking for a set of 17" black and silver/chrome wheels for my 2001 1.0l GS.

Any pics or links would be helpfull tnx in advance :)

Hi, i wouldnt advise you on getting 17's as they are a pain in the **** i had them on my car for 2 days and i took them off.All i could hear was the rear scrubbing while turning with 3 ppl in the car. So i have took them off and got 16" i can now have 5 people in my car and the wheels dont scrub.Just depend how many peolpe you will be having in your car.

Do you know what the offsets of the wheels wee ie the ET number?

i have been told with the correct offset there should be no rubbing... i got 195x50/15 on at the moment so 205x40/17 is the same rolling radius so as far as bottoming out goes it should be ok... except wen i go camping it bottoms out slightly( 2 adults 3 kids.. and 9 man tent tables beds cooker etc lol ) yes it all fitted with the help of a roofbox :)

ET40 wil apprently be best or get 195/40/17 tyres not cheap but isnt tyres your trade anyway?

[Sal_187]

You should be able to get 17's on your car considering you get the right tyre size and offset. For a set of 17's you should be looking at 205/40/17 with an offset of ET38. Other offsets may fit however this has proven to be he best for the yaris. I also agree with V_5AAD, if your always gonna have 4-5 people in the car, go for 16's instead. Here are a few designs i like, can't decide which ones to get for my own car.

Fox Racing RS-1 (picture is of 5 stud however, they are also available in 4 stud)

Arospeed RS-GT

The deepest/widest deep dish wheels you can find.. Cost you big time though..

Yes i am in the tyre trade but in just over 15 years i have never seen or heard of any manufacturer that makes them.

I know i need a 7J wheel the ET number refers to how far the wheel sits from the strut or inner wing of the car so i would imagine that the smaller i can get here the better???... so as not to foul the wheel arch... the smallest fit listed seems to be an ET of 38.

205x40/17 has more or less the same rolling radius as the following.....

195x50x15 (which i have now with no problems)

175x65/14 (which were standard)

155x13 (aka 155x80/13) also standard on aome models.

So 205x40 /17 should be ok if the offset is correct :)..

Anyone else have problems with fitting 17"???

[Ryan1985]

AFAIK its not the rolling radius thats the problem, its all about the width!

[cfc1]

Ok i have made a descision on the alloys i want to get...

i going for the newer version, the RSS-GT the difference being the new version has a stainless finnish on the lip

Nice! Can't say i'm too keen on the bodykit in that pic though...

[seveer unaek]

That body kit is !Removed! awful. Looks like it's been sat on by an elephant and squeezed forward! Nasty!

dont get RS-GT's they are common, chavvy and crap

get some proper japanese rims, more chance of being unique and will look a ton better
