182 Cup and 15's...

[Ali_M]

Hi,

I would like to run 15's with R888's in a 195/50/15 on my 182 Cup.

I was looking at these ATS DTC's...

I have just fired over an email to ATS to ask re UK dealers or buying direct. They offer them in offset ranging from ET 15 - 40.

I can easily get hold of the 15x7's in the UK, but with an offset of ET35 - will this cause problems with rubbing if lowered on Eibach Sportline's ?

From what I have read with using the search function, I would be better getting hold of 15's closer to the ET 42-43 mark?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers, Ali

cant really answer your question but i tried some 15" superturismos on my clio and they looked REALLY small. made it look like a monster truck. would have needed lowering at LEAST 80mm for it to look decent/not wierd IMO.

I think ET37 when lowered significantly will rub so yeah they'll prob rub. Safer with 42-43 as all 182's inc trophy are ET45

cheap tyres FTW, £50 a corner for PE2's in 15"

Did Phil put these on stoddies old 172?

 

[stoddie]

look similar.

try sending phil a pm - he might be able to tell you the offset he used.

What is Phil's user name?

Those are not the same wheels though although similar design.

I think I will need at least et 40 being a cup. Just a bit unsure about the height issue now as I don't want to spend on coilovers. Hoping it will look ok with a slight drop on eibachs.

Don't suppose anyone has any pics of 172/182's on 15's and lowering springs?

I have searched but not really finding what I am after...

Look at my profile pic. 182 cup on 15's with coilovers, lowered approx 2.5 inches

Looks nice Dan. What wheels are those?

2.5 inches, so ~ 60mm?
