P500 Yet Another Wheel Question

[Macca]

I need new wheels and tires!! Yes I have read many times this is a must but after getting stuck this weekend out dear hunting It’s happening! Please someone tell me if i’m on the right track!

ITP Black steel Wheels
5+2 12x7 4/100.

2 Main Questions are.....

(Do i need to run 5+2 Front and 2+5 rear?????? or just get 5+2 all round??)

(Will I need spacers on the rear to even the wheels out)???! If i run just 5+2? or will running 5+2F / 2+5R Doaway with need for a spacer.

I want to run same width all 4 corners but have not seen anybody specifically mention 5+2 F and 2+5 R. Only people mention spacers in rear. Personally i don’t want spacers i just want the wheels and bigger tyres. No spacers. Even stance.

Any specific help would be appreciated.

Maybe 5+2's on the front and 4+3's on the rear, still might not have a perfectly even track width though. You want 12x7 4/110, not 100.

I'm running 26x9-12 ITP Blackwater Evolution all around on 5+2 12x7 4/110 aluminum rims with no spacers and haven't had any problems - true it's not a dead even track, but it's been close enough for me.

Oh man, it sounds complicated. I wouldn't mind nice aluminum wheels but sizing is a pita. I'm gonna follow this thread closely!

Wheels aren’t that complicated especially in 12” 5+2 is probably the most common offset then maybe 4+3. Really just a choice between steel and aluminum, I chose aluminum because I wanted bead locks, but nothing wrong with steel. Aluminum offer more styles to choose from, most just provide a different look.
The real (complicated) fun comes when trying to decided what tire to mount on your rims and if you want the same size F & R or staggered width.
Then to spacer or not to spacer.

See, no worries, piece of cake ​

There is some great advice on this forum from a lot of people with way more experience than me.

Does the rear sit slightly further out with this setup? and is this slightly wider overall then factory?

I only ask about the 5+2 F and 2+5 R because of this ebay listing....... Just wondered if this helped with the stance to even it out.

I think the rear will set out further with that setup

Actually I think the front is about a half inch wider than the rear with 5+2 on all four corners, I didn’t actually measure but I seem to remember a post that mentioned that.

If width isn’t a problem you could always use spacers to even out track
