Picked up a set of ESR SR01 wheels in 17X9.5 +20mm for my T/A in the 5x120mm bolt pattern. Works out to about 5.28" backspacing.



Going to be running 1le hubs, just have to wire the power to my lathe to get that up and running. I bought a cheap chinese 1le rotor to pull my measurements from and will be cutting the hubs from 7075 aluminum. Just unsure whether to convert my bolt pattern to 5x120 or convert the wheels to 5x120.65.

Re: New Wheels
Mine at 17x9.5 with 0 offset and just do touch the lip on the strut , I would thing +20 would be way too much, Im also running 1LE stuff.

Re: New Wheels
I thought it was 5.25" backspace needed?

Re: New Wheels
I see I calculated my backspacing wrong. It's about 6.04" backspace, so with the 1le spacing, I'll probably need a 1/2" spacer.

I'm mulling that over right now. Will be wiring the lathe up today or tomorrow. Still need to pick up a switch for reversing it's direction.

Re: New Wheels
These wheels were not going to work because of the centerbore necking down smaller than advertised. Now I have a set of 18x10 XXR 521 wheels coming.
