My Custom Made Iozzio Classic Wheels.
 
Just thought I start a new thread in my One Off Custom made Wheels.

We are calling them Iozzio Classic Lightweights

Can’t wait to get them. They should fit my project perfect.

Specs are

18x7 with 5.5” backspacing
18x9.5” with 6.0” backspacing.

9.5 w/ 6" back space is ET19, They will fit fine w/ 255/35 or 265/35 tires, maybe 285/30

fronts are off a bit, they sit inboard too far

for a 911 7 front you want ~4.79" of back space, which works out to be 7 ET24

what you really want for an SC/Carrera is 8 Et25-30 front and 90.5 ET19 rear

Thank you for the information. But I had the actual owner of the manufacture company here to specifically measure offsets nd widths to my set up to my liking. And the tires you mentioned are WAY wider then I will be running.

Thank you very much guys. Can’t wait to get them mounted. Can’t really set up my suspension without the wheels.

good luck
just FYI regular 911 Fuchs 7 w/ ET23.3 have ~4.77" backspace, your proposed wheel w/ 5.5" back space sit that much more inboard

David 23 08-11-2018 05:47 PM

Curious about your choice of 18"? Not the typical fitment.

From my hub to the fender lip is 2.75 inches I gave myself a 1/4 gap for spacing non rolled front fender. That’s my “front spacing” subtract that from the overal 8” wheels size (lip to lip) and I have a back spacing of 5.5.

There is no way I would be able to tuck a 7” wheel. 8” overal lip lip inside the fender with a 4.77 back spacing. That gives me a hub to outside lip spacing of 3.23. That’s outside my fender itself

This is his test fitment wheel he brought over that is a 18x7 with 5.5 backspacing. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1534041812.jpg

Never been a guy to follow.

I hate 15s. 16 and 17 don’t fill up the wheel arch very well IMO. 18s tuck nice, give the stance looks i am after. Huge tire selection at great prices. 19s have a limited tire options and more expensive. 20s just seem rediculess IMO.

Wow..very cool! Looking forward to seeing them installed

Munky King 08-12-2018 06:22 AM

Wow!
Hats off to you sir for doing your own thing.
Love it!!!!
Can’t wait to see how the car pans out when it’s finished. Looks like it going to be staggering!

AG81 08-12-2018 06:36 AM

I have always been a fan of doing your own thing............ Well Done.

I don't know what suspension and hub you have but for a standard 911 from '68 to '89, a standard oe 7" ET23.3 Fuchs has ~2.93" of frontspace and 4.77" of backspace, overall is ~7.7", the tire on that rim is what interferes at times. The usual tire fitted is a 205/55 x16 this tire size on the 7" Fuchs has an OD of ~24.9", a front space of ~3.12"(+/- depending on the specific tire) These can interfere at the lip depending on ride height and suspension.

The largest wheel/tire is going to be 8ET25 225/45 x17, these have an OD of ~25", front space of ~3.44". These just barely clear a shaved lip when a little extra negative camber is used. The biggest tire on that wheel is a 235/45 x17 which requires the above + raised ride height. OD here is ~25.4" w/ f/s ~3.64".

In summary f/s of ~2.95" is pretty comfortable but does require some car w/ tires( shorter being easier to fit) and possibly lips, ~3.5" is a max w/ height restrictions, the more under 3.5" the fewer height and suspension restrictions.

With respect that’s great info for someone that’s running factory Fuchs. Thank you. However as you can tell these wheels are far from factory! I am VERY confident in my and the manufacturers measuring of offset to fit my set up. We have measured and measured for proper fitment for my car. I CANNOT fit a 3.5” front spacing within my fenders regardless if it’s trimmed or rolled unless I over roll the fender
