2 Lost In Transit's "Toaster Build"

[Justdont95]

Why not for some other wheels? I don't think I understand why wheels are so hard to find. Especially in europe it's not a very rare bolt patern or so.

I think there is a lot of other cool wheels to find in the same bolt patern.

Maybe this will help you, yes they ship worldwide on high responsibility.

I don't get why you make finding a wheel so hard...

Even 17x7 is a size, well yeah, 18x8 is much more common...

If you have/want to work with a spcial platform you may need to do some
custom work to it...

Here you can see which car has the same pcd and centerbore.

Also look at other stuff with a bigger cb, a centric ring can be mashined by
about any good machinist...

Why not wooble bolts.., 5x110 isn't that common but 5x108 isn't too.

Why not run a adapter, this way you can fit everything you want.

If you have studs and lugnuts, and want to run a Volvo alloy rim, just get some
Volvo lugnuts to.., they are M12x1.5, s40/c30/v50c70 have the exact same
specs with a 50mm offset, just run a 5mm spacer and extended studs and you're done...

And i break some more news to you...
Most aftermarked rims have a 14mm bolt hole.., some even have 16mm...


I know i may sound harsh...
But jesus, don't overthink that stuff...

Okay so if the wheels are not DOT approved, the warranty will be voided? and this wil be the same situation with the spacers?

Further more I think I missed a lot of info. If it would be your own car and not on a lease nor loan I can't even think why they are so strict on this.

Why not just find the wheels you want in a 5x100 and have them re-drilled?

Check out www.VRWHEELS.com you'll have a much better shot at getting the right wheels, and getting them redrilled properly.

[RedGalant2k1]

Have you tried going on www.TireRack.com or www.Discounttire.com ??

[P78]

why don't you widen those steel wheels

[RedGalant2k1]

Btw, I checked on the 2012 Ford Focus wheel, it is absolutely a +50mm offset. The way to know the offset of a factory wheel is look on the back of the spokes, it is stamped in the wheel itself. In this case as shown in the picture:



The "ET50" is the wheels offset.

Also, what type of discrepancies could TireRack have had? They actually fit all the wheels to actual cars. They are very conservative in fitment.

I can't believe this shit.

You aint made to mod a car. Don't touch anything jesus you can't even do wheels.

WHEELS GOD DAMMIT

WHY IS THAT NOT LOWERED YET ANYWAY?

I'm not usualy so twitchy, but wheels, it's just wheels. Get some Diamond racing or basset or some shit you'll get exactly what you want. Holy hell. Get some stock ford transit wheels from a transit connect Titanium they look good and are EXACTLY THE SIZE YOU WANT. they are 215/50R17 7Jx17 ET45 5x108 M12 x 1.5 bore :63.3



Kthxbye.

Seen it, love it, but Ford isn't willing to allow us to go that extreme

Ford can't tell you what to do to the vehicle.

Step 1: lower it. Air or static, who cares(just do it)


Step 2: Widen the steelies


Step 3: Drop some panties



Seriously, the stealership won't even cover anything suspension related anyway besides OEM shocks and springs. If you damage a control arm even on stock suspension, it's going to be an insurance issue or something you will deal with yourself.

Just buy and mount some wheels! This is no rocket science

[storey618]

i **** to say it but theres to much thought going into this. why does it matter what tires are suggested by ford?! what pl43 said is spot on. you are way over thinking this. you drop it, then you find out what wheels you can run, then tire size.

[FunfGang]

I'm thoroughly confused by this build, the end goal and all of the thought process involved.

glad I'm not the only one lol

Some people just aren't made for this side of the car world
