17" ROH Blades on KE30

[jeremiahnz]

Hey guys,

Just looking at some mags for a KE30. They are 17" ROH Blades which have been previously fitted to a Mazda Bongo and a R31 Skyline. They are said to be approx 40p offset. Stud pattern is fine for a KE30 (4x114.3)

Rather then take a long trip and find out they don't fit, I was wondering if anyone could give me any indication if they think they will as I am not sure of the KE30 offset and whether it is similar at all to the vehicles listed above.

Cheers

there's been heaps of questions about whether or not wheels will fit lately, and heaps of good info posted in reply. have a search.

nah bro they are far from bein the right offset

Check your PM

To fit those you'll require bolt on spacers as they'll likely rub on the struts, which in turn will require certification.

Yeh theyll fit the back fine, front will hit the struts. 25mm spacer will clear it and even then theyll still look terrible and it will ride like crap because theyre just so $&#$% heavy and have a massive mass.

Hi, thanks for the replies, and yes, I did have a search to try to work out what offset wheels KE30's run.

Cheers

from memory my roh astrons were 35 offset and wouldn't fit without 30mm spacers. can recheck to confirm my offset when I get home tonight if you want.

[jeremiahnz]

Yeah, would be interested to know.

Does anybody know what offset KE30's are? The only thing I could find searching was that they are the same as KE70's, but a subsequent search for KE70 didn't provide any further information.

Cheers

a 20 offsett should be fine for a ke.too low and you'll need flares.too high and you'll need spacers

[jeremiahnz]

Sweet man, cheers for that. Good to know

also, if you put mags like those blades on a ke30, expect them to slow the thing down a fair bit. They're heavy rims and the mighty k-motor will feel it. I'd track down some lightweight 15's if i were you.

brakes will also be getting a hard time due to the rolling increased mass

Don't worry, I could just take the angle grinder to my flywheel to counteract the increased rotational inertia. It'd be sweet
