Ralliart Sportback

Hi All,

Few quick snaps off my new ride, Billyboy1's ride inspired me to get one

Came with 18inch Monza black rims which are ok but would like to upgrade them in the future. Also got it with the tinted windows which is nice.

So updates, finally took some better pictures.

I've also replaced lug nuts with D1 lightweight black nuts and painted the calipers on the weekend also.

I actually like those wheels. If the fitment were a bit more aggressive they'd be perfect

Right! Depending on the width, maybe just a set of 10mm spacers (unless it's a 7" rim, then you probably want more tire patch anywho )
They look like a good 8-8.5" width, so I'd say spacers and call it sexy!!

I like the wheels too. I dont think the fitment of the front wheels look bad but the back could use the spacing for sure.

Spacers

Would the spacer effect drivability.

I actually love the wheels also, I'd keep em.
And it's pretty low if it is on springs. :O

It's the pics. The wheel is always turned, so you can't see how tucked the front is. 5-10mm spacers all around would suit it very nicely.

Spacers, if used properly, will not cause driveability issues. If you ARE going to go that route, however, keep in mind that you will either need to go with a bolt-on spacer and hope that the backside of your wheels has enough indentation to accept the excess wheel stud that pokes from the spacer; or you will have to purchase new, extended wheel studs to work with slip-on style spacers to make sure the lug nuts are threaded adequately.

Your probably right about the pics of the wheels turned I really didnt notice until you said something.

With my 5mm spacers I didnt use anything different as far as studs but my lugs kind of stick out a little where the threads start. I wouldnt feel safe with a thicker spacer though.
