I have been thinking of fitting ZCP comp rims, and trying to work out if they will fit? Figured someone is bound to have tried this already
, and so just found this thread from a while back.
Shimmy, I was wondering if you left these on your car in the end? How did you get on after a bit of driving? Any contact to the wheel arch on the front? Like you say in the earlier post:
Quote:
CSL rims are 8.5J and et 44 which make the outside of the rim about 64mm out from the hub face.
ZCP front rims are 9.0J et 31 so are 83.3mm out from the hub face.
im not sure there is 19mm of flexibility before you hit the wheel arch?
CSL rears fited to the fornt stick out 94mm from the hub and thye only fit at -3 camber.

Agree with all those numbers, and would additionally say that for every 1 deg of negative camber, you gain around 5mm clearance at the top of the wheel arch. I'd be running fairly std camber (-1.5deg on last KDS). So they are gonna be pretty close to touching! I guess the brand of tyre will also effect things by a few mm depending on how chunky the tread is on the shoulders.
I guess another way of asking the same Q is does anyone run 20mm spacers on std front 19 x 8.5 ET 44 rims, with std camber, and clear the wheel arch OK?
In addition to clearance, how have people found handeling with this wider front track setup?
Cheers!
