Anybody buy the Corsa Velosita widened steelies yet?

Eviltwin · Aug 13, 2018

I sold my Ocean Mk18's (which where awesome) in favor of some Corsa Velocita wide steelies.

The response from the seller (Arman) has been extraordinary thus far, and hopefull on having these go on somewhat trouble free on my LSx 245.

Has anyone bought these and currently running them?

31.75mm offset on an 8 wide?

I saw a set on IG, looked pretty good actually, I think they are pricey for what they are, but I am glad there is an option for steelies like this.

Have you looked into Diamond Racing as well?

Link above takes you to a different set

5" backspacing on 9" wide

which equates a 0 offset.
that's aggressive AF.

I plan on running 225/50/16's squared.
I plan on rolling fenders, I don't think I have a choice.

Will be pretty aggressive on the front without some camber, but manageable.

I'm was thinking about having them make me a 17x8 with a 0 offset and was going to hope they clear ok.

Technically they aren't widened steelies.

They are just wide steelies

I'm at 17x8 at 0 offset in my 242 and it's fine. I could actually stand a little more poke in the front (2* camber). You will have to roll the fender lips flat so expect that.
