Questions about 18x8.5s on Bugeye


Bugeye01WRX

Recommended Posts


Hey everyone

 

I've been in the market for new rims for a LONG while now. My Bugeye still has these awful and ugly 17x7.5 rims since I got the car and I just haven't upgraded yet for various reasons.

I decided to go 18x8 as I like the 18 inch look.

 

 

I'm after a nice concave (not insanely concave), with the smaller spoke design.

 

Kudos Tokyo are my favourite wheel as an example of the style I like.

Anyway, I have not upgraded as I:

 

1. Can't seem to find a wheel I want in the right size, width, offset, stud pattern and color.

2. Am a bit stuck on how big I can go, in regards to rubbing, clearance, etc etc.

 

So, I was wondering if I can go 18x8.5 on a Bugeye without modding, or with minimal modding?

I'm on stock ride height currently.

 

Also, I've been adverse to going TOO big or TOO wide because I kept hearing about performance loss due to heavier rims/tyres and a greater rotating mass.

 

How much of a performance difference would 18x8.5 be compared to 17x7.5?

Cheers!

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
