oz racing rims on kp60

Postby diss7 » Tue Feb 21, 2006 7:15 am

Looking to put these on a kp61, wondering if anyone has tried before.
the wheels are 15x7, stock wheels off an evo 3. Same stud pattern, but fwd offset. I think its about 40p. I want to know what size spacer would keep these hitting the struts.

i have some 15x7 zs's (p40 offset) on a kp60 bugeye, the fronts will require about 20mm spacer to chear the shock you'll also need the smallest profile to prevent the tyre rubing everywhere if you car is lowered much. as for the rear a 5mm spacer should prevent rubbage on the inside of the wheel arch.
current cars:
Evo 4 230Kw atw
1971 mini.
79 bugeye 245kw atw.
Evo powered mx5 under construction

i've got 15" rims on my KP60. i think they are 35 offset. used 8mm spacers on the front with 195/50 tyres to clear the struts.
5mm spacers on the back, but the rear mags have different sized tyres (came with the mags) 205/60. not sure if it would clear with 195/50 on the rear without spacers

Correct when i got my 1st kp it had same size rims with 205 50's on it, needed 20mm at front but none at rear, was super low and rubbed at the back (top of guard) but other than that was ok. oh and with 20mm spacers you really want some longer studs as well as there ain't much left holding them on there

yer bolt ons are best, but you can stil get a cert with up to 20mm spacer with longer studs, mate running 22mm on the rear and 25mm on teh front for +42 offset rims... you can run smaller thickness in teh rear but teh wheel is inside the guard quiet a bit and itsnt the most pleasingn thing to the eye..
