18" Wheel Specs ???

[Tom Mauldin]

Does anyone know what the specs are for FFR's 18" wheels that are on Dave Smiths car? Thanks!

I can't say for sure but I have seen the car in person and it seems to have the same look as my car with 18's. I'm running 18x9's in the front and 18x10.5's in the back. Tires are the issue, the biggest tire for the back in a p-metric is a 285/18/35. And I'm running a 245/18/40 in the front. The best way to get a definitive answer is to send Dave an email or call FFR direct.

Frank & Sanford,

Would you happen to know the backspace on your wheels? Pictures would be great too.

Thanks,
Tom

I am running Enkei NT-03's
1996 spindles and 1996 width Rear axle, not shortened to Fox width
Nissan and Ford share bolt pattern
I did have to flare the rear fenders on my MKII as the rear wheels stuck out about an inch too far. I wish the wheels were an inch wider for the 315's, I can stand about 3/4" more BS and plenty on the front side. Just a note, I was running 17x10's with a 7.125 BS. they fit the 1996 width and Fox width axles on my MKII

Here's my combination used on my first build in '99

Fronts are 18 x 8.5 with 5.5 backspace. They'll have 255/40-18 Pirelli P-Zero's

Rears are 18 x 9.5 with 6.5 backspace. 285/40-18 Pirelli P-Zero's

BTW, I still have one NEW front tire if anyone is interested.

Thanks Sanford and Oldguy! That helps me a lot!
I also called FFR yesterday. They told me to go with the same backspace as their 17's, which makes sense. The tech I talked to had. O idea of when the FFR 18" wheels were coming out though. Looks like we will go with the Team III wheels.
