too small!

[DaveW]

are 8x13's +4 offset wheels going to be too small for my 86 drift car

Of course they are man!!

Despite the fact your car now has 17'', dont forget that the AE86 came from the factory with 14'' wheels.

Plus, judging from the pics of your car the i think the engine isn't what people call stock, isn't it?

So...

[DaveW]

thanks for confirming my thoughts, Banzai magazine fitted them to their project car, i guess i should be after at least a 15 then?

Steady on,,,,
You could put 13" on the car, it will look nice, on the deck but it will oversteer like mad & the ride will be rough, 14"/15" will do the trick,
As for Banzai they havent got a clue about ae86s,,,,,
Here comes the bandwagon,,,lets all jump-on & have a feature ae86 in our mag.

You the guy with the formula Atlantic engine?????

Those ones could be great for drifting, as the rotating mass is greatly decreased from OEM 14'' steel wheels, and they look good.

[DaveW]

what size tyres on the 13's then

[mark]

These rims are great for mine ke30!!!

DS, dont forget that this size also meen LESS traction for the front wheels.
Yes, rear wheels will lose grip easier, but also will the front ones

Damn, I forgot that they are to be put in front too... That's 100% true, thanks for the correction. I suppose that an optimal combination for drifting with a near-stock AE would be 14'' rims with wider front tires (185, 195?) and narrower rear ones, like 175...
