Design 90 Wheels?

[JamesE]

Hey Guys and gals,

Ive just bought some design 90's in 6 and 8 inch with a 52mm offset in 16's,

What other thing would i need to get them on my cupra im a bit new to this so any help would be greatfully recieved!!

I know i need hub adaptors and thats about it so which ones and what else do i need?

Thanks

James

I also have 2 7.5" design 90's which im lookin to sell so if anybody wants more info on the PM me

Fk adapters are what i bought. I got mine from venom motorsport, thought it would be safer to get a new set on there.

I've got 7j fronts and 8j rears and bought 20mm adapters, i dont get any rubbing but it depends how low you go.

You will need to buy some new wheel nuts as your standard ones can not be used for the d90's. They need to be m14 x 1.5 and have to be radius seated. The length all depends on what spacers you used, i think mine were 23mm from the bottom of the thread to the collar.

PM a price you want for the 7.5j d90's. But if i was you i'd put them on the front.

Hope that helps

Thanks for that mate very helpful, so u put 20mm spacers all round? wont the 7.5j rub on the front?

James

 

[lm_gauci]

Yeah 20mm all round, still looks like my front wheels stick out further than the rears though.

There was a fella on here with 8j all round. All depends how low you go and what tyres you've got fitted.

 

[JamesE]

Cool so what size tyre would i need 2 get for the 6 and 8 inch wheels so there not stretched but look good lol because the 50mm wall looks poo!!!

James

 

[lm_gauci]

I have 195/45/16 on my 7j rims which is a slight stretch and then 205/40/16 on the 8j rears which again is a slight stretch. I dont think the tyre walls are stretched too much to be honest. Have a look on the 2nd page of my project thread theres a few close ups of the wheels.

 

[Reuvers]

You'll need atleast 20mm spacers (or hubcentric converters or whatever you call them in english) as 52mm off set is 17mm change from stock (more to the inside).

As for the front being 6J, don't you think they are very skinny? And getting your 211hp on the road on those little tires might be difficult. WHy not put the 7.5J with either 205-45-16 or 195-45-16 (little stretch) on the front and the 8J's on the rear?

 

[Robbie C]

That's what I'll be doing with mine 7.5J up front and 8J rear

I'm thinking of running 20mm adaptors up front and 30mm on the rear but not sure if the extra inch on the back may push them out too much

 

[Reuvers]

seems to me when running 8J rim, which is already quite wide, a 30mm spacer would really push it out a lot, if not too much

 

[JamesE]

Thanks for the input guys i think id get 25mm for front and rear should look ok then.

why do you have 40 profile on the rear and 45 on the front IMGAUCI

doesnt stretching the tyres make the handling worse?

James

 

[JamesE]

What sort of price do you guys think the 7.5j would be?

They have just been powdercoated in satin black so in good condition just been sat in the bloke i bout them offs garage for a little while.

James

 

[JamesE]

Another question do i need spigot rings?

 

[JamesE]

any help would be great?

 

[Reuvers]

I have no idea what a spigot ring is mate lol...so sorry

 

[matsportline]

put the 7.5's on the front with a 20mm spacer and a 195/40/16 tyre and put the 8's the back with a 25mm spacer and the same 195/40/16 tyres happy days won't rub give you enough stance!

 

[lm_gauci]

why do you have 40 profile on the rear and 45 on the front IMGAUCI

doesnt stretching the tyres make the handling worse?

James

I was looking at the overall turning radius of the wheel and tyre. Because the rear wheels where bigger and i didnt want to stretch 195/45/16's on it i went for the 205/40/16's. When calculating all the tyre profiles this had the smallest difference compared to standard.

Hope that makes sence

 

[alan_n]

With the 7.5J rims, i believe they only came in 65mm offset, so you would need quite a large adaptor. I may be incorrect, but this is what i found when i had a set for my cupra

 

[JamesE]

Yeah the offset is 65 on the 7.5j thats why im goin 6j on the front because ive already bought the 25mm adaptors... so im not sure they would look right.

Hey guys do you know what the size the hex is on the standard bolts as i want to try and get the same ones for the new wheels?

Im gauci what size hex have you used?

James
