I was wondering what rims you guys thought would be perfect with a rado widebody kit?


I was thinking

axis widetracks

 

Your probably going to need atleast a 10 inch wide wheel in the rear, 9.5 in the front... I don't think the Widetracks come that wide...

Do something like this... these are hot, but are most common on widebody tC's...

Those are Racing Hart RS721's
BUT, Project HER TC is running 8.5's but I'm wanting to think the Rado kit is slightly wider in the rear than the AIT. I could very well be wrong on that though.

 

find that one girl Tina "kiss_kiss_kill" its the ALL pink tC...she has the Rado WB kit...

she has 20x10 wheels....

 

i wanna keep it to a 17' 18s


20 = not down.

 

i like this one but do they have anything with out those little circle things on end of the spokes....

 

I was looking at these:


5Zigen FN01R-C Wheel




they come
17 x 9.5 and 17x10

 

RS-721

19"
Machined Black
Multi-Piece

This is a 2 piece wheel. The rivits at the end of the spoke actually DO have a purpose... Holding it together!

 

With a Widebody, personally, I would go with atleast an 18...

 

yea 18 was my first choice. but 17 is tempting =/

I dont want 19/20s =(




anyone know where I can pick up some Racinghart 18x9.5sF and 18x10sR?

 

Give Discount Tire a call... Or Kauffman tire. They possibly can get you some...

personally i dont really like the "rivits"...

 

that will not work you need 19 or 20, here is what i think it would work

19x9 in front and back 19x10 or 12 and/or 20x9 in front and back 20x10 or 12

you going to need Air ride. you going to need a lot $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$



18x10 all around

Here's Tina
20x10 in the front 20x13 (315/25/20 tire) in the back

 

17 should be out of the question in my opinion. The wheel wells are bigger on widebody kits so you're going to need more wheel to fill in the gap and I think 17's would be too small. The end result will be a sloppy mess. Your car wont feel the way it should when someone looks at it, its not gonna feel pieced together right.

Normally I think 18s are the perfect size for the tC but on a stock body. On a widebody I would go +2. 18 would be at the low end and 19 would be perfect.

 

By the way, Rado is rockin 20" HREs on his car.

 

17 or 18 is completely out of the question. I'm runnin 20x10 & 20x13 on mine & might be getting wider wheels because it still doesn't fill in the gaps all the way.

We've already had this conversation man, haha. You're going to be spending a lot of money on just wheels & tires alone. Just my wheels and tires retail 8k. No company will have wheels right off the bat that'll fit a widebody like the Rado kit. Someones gonna have to make custom forged wheels which cost a pretty penny. Also, your suspension will suck, you WILL break your front bumper. The clearance of the kit to the ground is ridiculous. Stock height won't even suffice, it's still too low. Chris Rado was disappointed with Extreme Dimensions because they made the kit 2 inches closer to the ground than what he had wanted. Before my kit was molded we lined it up to a stock height tC & the kit would've been touching the ground by at least an inch.

DON'T DO THE TRADE MAN, STAY WITH THE RS3 xB! SERIOUSLY!

 

im still thinking about the trade. I dont really care for my rs3, it gets me to where I want to be but it just misses something.

Right now, Im just making a list of pros and cons. How much the rebuild will be in total and all of that.

 

Minimum, $15k & I'd put money on that.
