I have a 07 Elise...

Looking to get these wheels:

XXR 530 15-16 Intense

Would I be better off doing 16x8 in the front and 17x8.25 in the back...

or doing 17x7 all the way around?

Car is on stock suspension - these will be street use only - will most likely use stockers for any track use

If you go with the 15" fronts, you cannot install the 308-mm BBK...

I'd like to go with 17X8 up front and 17X10 or even 18X10 in the back... I just couldn't find any that are forged and light enough. There is no reason for the wheel to be heavier than 10-lbs on a Lotus...that is my target weight. I would buckle for 12-lbs but not for 13-lbs.

can you fit that big of a tire up front

they make a 16x8 for the fronts but i thought that was too wide...

what else do i need to see if these will work???

they fit fine on an exige...

I think that 's way too big on the front. I'd go 16 x 7 front and 17 x 8.25 rear.

My concern would be getting the correct offsets.

Whoah - that much tyre is way to much for an Elise... it would only make any sense if the OP was adding significant power.

The only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask
