So, I have a Dodge Stealth TT in desperate need of wheels. I have done an insane amount of measuring mainly because I haven't had luck sourcing wheels for test fitting.
I can afford to lose 5mm of clearance up front and 45mm in the rear (still giving me a few mm of clearance), so I'll get straight to the goods.
I want: Forgestar F14s
F: 19 x 10 et32 Deep Concave with 5mm less of inner clearance and poke 33mm out from the factory wheels
R: 19 x 12 et47 Super Deep Concave with 45mm less of inner clearance and 43mm of rear poke.
I'm only on lowering springs, and don't plan on going to coils for a while. There's plenty of factory camber adjustment to make these wheels fit with a bit of a stretch.
I plan on running 255/35s front and 295/30s rear which gives me a 0.22% difference in outer tire diameter front to rear which is well within the +/- 3% safe zone as not to chew up my VCUs. The +/- 3% difference is what people over on the 3000GT/Stealth/GTO forums think is safe.
As you can see, it needs more.
Factory wheels are 8.5 x 17 et46 with 245/40s. 114.3
I've never bought wheels before, so I'm sure those Forgestars won't fit.
Basically in the 3S crowd, you'll get shunned for putting anything bigger than 18 x 10s. Tire stretch? That'll get you banned.
Any input?
