Wheel advis & pic request

[capri.kid87]

Hi all I'm thinking of running a set of 8 x 15 on the front and 9 x 15 on the rear of an x-packed capri (once finished) I'm struggling to find a company other than image that will do 9 x 15 in ford fitment and Image are too expencive for me at the moment. Does any one know of any other company doing minilites in these sizes.

 

If I cant find another company I will run the same spec in 13" wheels.

 

Could any post some pics of x-packed capris on either of these wheels sizes.

3 piece BBS E30's ( Genuine Ford BBS )

Front 8,5 X13 ( 3,5 in & 5J outershell)

Rear 11 x 13 ( 5 in & 6J outershell)

Ohhh and 235-60-13 all around (little bit German style on the back )

How about revolution? They do their five spoke in 15" 8 & 9J in a 4 x 108 PCD and a variety of offsets

If your not specifically after split rims, try compomotive for their minilite style wheels or try John brown wheels.

 

I think the latter are very reasonable with thier prices....

[capri.kid87]

Yeah I have looked at JBW but they only do the two sizes in 13" I was hopping to get 15"

go on ebay mate theres plenty of companys selling 9x15s and 8x15s from memory i think there around £120 each for the 9s

[turnover]

hang on i might beable to get you a set of image splits there not minilites but lovely wheels as new and 8s and 9s x15 think there around £650 with new tyres ,let me know

[jamie956]

Compomotive 15'' ML's 7'' and 8'', There are 9'' s on ebay but try get tyres for them not easy.

Jamie, did those wheels take a lot of chopping arches to get them to fit?

[jamie956]

Fronts went on ok rears needed the inner lip taking back if you order direct from Compomotive you can have what offset you want, im now looking at putting 10x18's on the back of my Mk2 2 door cortina

OK so with the standard X-pack kit what are the widest wheels I could get under? Can I have ppl's thoughts on wide 13" wheels and how they look...

front 8jx13

rear 9jx13

 

3piece graku wheels

 

 

The problem with 13inch rims are the tires mate,I can go up to 300 at the rear but cant find them,so fitted 235 tires with 9cm inners

I would look for tyre avalibility before byeing rims that will be the deciding factor on what you go for, my 8's have Toyo TR1 225 50 15 couldnt find anything for 9's there prob is somthing somwhere but wont be much choise.

i run 205's my 8's and surely 225's are ok for 9's ??
