Different size/width rims on the front & rear ?

[AMG.EUROPE]

What happens if we have thinner wheel like 7j in the front and wider 8j wheels at the rear? Also I have seen for lot of sports carspeople use 17"front 18"rear. Is it good for our indian cars? Any one tried ?

For most Indian cars it is no good since most of the cars in our market are Front Wheel Drive. This staggered wheel/tyre size practice is best used for high-performance Rear Wheel Drive cars, hardly any of which are sold in our country.

If you do want to try it out you can but I must warn you that it will exaggerate understeer to a major level on most FWD's.

Thanks for the commment Iraghav.

Can you please tell me the specifications I can go with honda civic in 17 inch wheels. Rim size front and back, PCD-114.3?, Offset-?(+43.....), Bore dia - (...), How much lip I can get..etc

[autopsyche]

you can go with 17 x 7.0 or 17 x 7.5 on the civic, bore dia should be equal to the stock wheel bore dia which you can measure with a scale. Offset can range between +38 to +43 depending upon the wheel design. Also, lip depends upon the design. The most common tire size youll find for the civic is 225/45/17

As pre orders have started for rays wheels, Im looking at some of these wheels for my civic.

Most of them fall in 17, 18" - 114.3, +42 - +45, 7.5j-8j. Most of the wheels have different rim widths(lip as we call) and ofcourse custom colorscan be ordered. I wanted the ionic color in pro 57, 57 max

In addition I am getting custom center cap & bolts

The alloys look great but where in Hyderabad are you getting them from?

No, rim width is not referred to as the lip. The protruding area of the rim on the edges after the spokes is called the lip.

And what is a set of 17" in that design & finish costing you landed?

Yes RAYS INDIA is Mauto.
In catalogue it mentions RIM width is lip, we can get so many lips sizes for same offset, pcd, design and size.

Yes Thats correct about lip & rim width, here in catalogue its denoted like that. I can get 2 different lips for same size wheels & design.

57 PRO - 1.3 Lks + 40k for ionic color with vat
