THE DEFINITIVE 4 LUG WHEEL THREAD

Post by **simmode1** » Sat Mar 13, 2010 4:34 am

Help me out guys. I'm compiling a list of all 4 lug wheels that would be good for 240 fitment. When asked for wheel recommendations, usually I throw up the same six to eight relatively inexpensive wheels sized 17x9 or bigger...

But here, I want you guys to add whatever 4x114.3 wheels that you think look good on an S-Chassis. 15's/16's/17's/18's, original design, replica or whatever! Post pics, specs and throw it up!

(But plz, don't be putting up no 17x7+42 mess or nuthin like that... )

5Zigen FN01RC Available in: 17x9+20

Rota P45R Avilable in: 17x9+12, 17x9+25, 17x9.5+15, 17x9.5+30, 18x9.5+15

Rota Grid Available in: 17x9+12, 17x9.5+12 & 18x9.5+15

Rota RB Available in: 17x9-13 and 17x9.5-19

XXR 006 Available in: 17x9+20

Falken Hanabi Available in: 17x9+20

Axis OG Banzai Available in: 17x9+20

Motegi Touge Available in: 17x9+24, 18x9+12 and 18x10+30

TI-7 Available in: 17x9+15

Here's my usual suspects. What else you guys got? Baller / Cheap? Whatever! Post it up!

^^^Nice contributions. Originally, I wanted to avoid stuff that would need spacers... but some ppl are ok with them, so as long as spacer specs are included, th could be helpful.

Fixed for clarification...

It is the 'offset' of the wheel. It is virtually impossible to select good fitting wheels without knowing the offset. If you don't know the offset, basically, you're just guessing on whether or not a wheel will fit right and most ppl get it wrong.

Here's a decent explanation of what offset is:http://www.tirerack.com/wheels...d=101

Pick wheels with the proper offsets and you'll be flush without having to resort to using spacers...

Thanks Panda. Question for you:

What would be the best way to go about getting the DT-05Rs and the Grenades?

I looked on Aspecproducts.com and didn't find anything. I seriously would not give a phuck about Rota if I knew where to easily order these wheels. Are they discontinued or something?

Post by **Gabes13** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 6:26 pm

Used man.Used.

I know you can still get the dt05rs from rhdjapan.com They're not too expensive.Something like $250 for the 9.5 +30But you can totally get them cheap used. That particular picture was from zilvia Some guy was selling 2 8.5 (top 2)and 4 9.5 (bottom 4)for like 8 something shipped. Pretty dope if you ask me.

The Grenades?I have no clue. Classifieds I guess. I totally remember seeing a website with all the specsand prices.I think it was their webpage.But I totally can't find it anymore. So I guess they're discontinued?Idk.It's like 1:30am here in Fl.and I'm writing a mid term paper right now but I'll totally search for it later.

I have nothing personal with Rota.They started making wheels 10 yrs after RaysBig whoop. Decent sizes now too.But I'm into different things now. I want legit things.Makes me feel better. Hell, I've been thinking of selling my KaE-TSo I can ditch these Wackmaxx'and get some dt05rs insteadBesides,They're really not that much more expensivethan some of the cheaper things out there. w/e though.End rant.

More wheels to come. Laytaz!

Found another one! 5Zigen ZR+520 Available in 17x9+27. The offset isn't so hot, but meh... whatever.

Post by **biggie** » Wed Mar 24, 2010 10:03 am

Looks like you've left off the 002, 15 or 16 x 8", 0 offset.

Personally, I don't like those dinky sized wheels so I didn't add them. But if someone else wants to, feel free...

Maybe some can also add the different little mesh wheels available for 4 lug and the different little OEM wheels that will fit...

Post by **nitsujvg** » Wed Mar 24, 2010 8:17 pm

simmode i've got a question for you.which of these clear the zbrakes? i know that we have the fitment thread but most of those are 5 lug or ridiculous fitment.i like the grids in 17x9 + 12

my current wheels dont clear my 30mm brakes so im in desperate need for new wheels :[

Post by **simmode1** » Thu Mar 25, 2010 3:31 am

^^^ Clearing Z brakes really isn't as much a question of offset as much as it is a question about the design on the wheels spokes. I think it's pretty safe to safe that any of these 17x9+ wheels with concave spokes that go away from the hub or caliper would be safe bets. Like the P45R's and Grids. I know they clear for certain... I've seen that here on NICO.

But wheels that have flat faces, like the SSR Vienna Kreis, I'd be hesitant about. Basically, there's now way I can say for certain as I have not seen all these wheels mounted on cars with Z brakes. Sorry.

Personally, I'd say just just the trigger on the set you want. If it doesn't clear the brakes, a tiny little 2mm to 3mm slip-on spacer should fix that for you and will still be safe on your stock studs...

Post by **nitsujvg** » Thu Mar 25, 2010 5:30 am

thanks man. i knew the spoke face had a lot to do with it. mine don't clear by about 10mm - 15mm.

well im gonna give the grids or p45r's a shot, just have to wait for that refund chcek haha.

thanks a lot

just ordered a set today, should be here by the end of the week.. i sure hope they fit! i've heard they don't on a bunch of other forums but those were the old 16x8's. since these will be 17x9.5 + 12 i think I'll have room.

i hope.... :[

edit: p.s. let me know if you find a thread / proof that they fit cause im worried i dropped a lot of money on wheels and tires that still wont fit.im gonna cry

17x9+25 with what I think is a 15mm spacer, so effectively +10 offset.

These are from Skilz10179 car: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3244136/2

I really don't think the 17x9+12 P45R's or Grids will have a problem clearing Z brakes. Skilz just needed a spacer cuz the +12 offset wasn't available in 5 lug...

Post by **nitsujvg** » Fri Mar 26, 2010 8:18 pm

dude simmode you're the greatest. i feel A LOT better about these wheels now. so that would mean at most a 3mm slip on spacer would make this happen (assuming grids have the same clearance as p45rs)

the guy i talked to today at the shop said they clear evo brembos, so i shouldn't have a problem with z brakes. he hadnt seen z brakes in person but heard the evo brakes are bigger.

whew. well thanks to you i will be rocking nice fitting wheels and wider rubber. no more 7.5+45 haha.

Post by **simmode1** » Fri Mar 26, 2010 10:13 pm

Hope it works out good man! Come back and post pics when you get them!

Sidenote: Found another set of wheels, but details are kind of... elusive.

These are Lenso Wide Tracks. I contacted the owner on that S13-Ute in Austrailia and found that these wheels are avaliable in 4 lug and that his set are 18x8 and 18x9+20. The 18x9+20 have some definite potential!

I'm still trying to find a distributor for these wheels in the U.S. So far I've come up empty, but apparently this company Lenso has some kind of connection with Tenzo... so I'm exploring that right now...

No problem man... there was obviously a need for this kinda thread. I was just surprised that I couldn't find one that someone had already made...

Yeah, I'm not too hot on that wheel either, but one man's junk is another man's treasure, they say...

Post by **nitsujvg** » Tue Mar 30, 2010 8:03 pm
