Had to take some pics of the new wheels for another thread, turned out alright so I thought I'd post up here too.

 

nice pics!!

 

Old school, i dig 'em man.

 

sweet

 

careful not to drive into that pond...er i mean flooded road........ i like the pics!

 

Very nice I like it!

 

Cool, what wheels?? What size? What tire and size?? Looks good!

 

Man, those things are TINY. Have you heard anything out of MIB?

 

Looks real nice! What are they, 13s?
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you can never go wrong with that old school cool.

Edit: Ah, checked your other post, 13's, should have looked before I asked :P What kinda backspacing on the little guys?

 

Nick is being returned home for medical treatment. He may be around to play all summer by the sound of it. Should be back soon...


Thanks for the kind words guys!

The wheels are Revolutions, 13x8. They have 4" backspacing. The tires are Sumitomo HTRs, at 215/50/13....

 

Should be a fun summer. I'm gonna have to check these out at some auto-x events (moving home in May, can't find a job).

oh, sweet looking wheels

 

very cool man!

 

I thought about just asking you in my PM, but I figured other people may be interested as well.

How about some booty shots? :P

 

looks great!!!!!

 

Kentetsu could you possibly go lower in the front if you wanted to? If so how much? And are you running 8" springs? Did you weld the pearches at 6"?

 

that looks like his "road height". i doubt i'd run it that low around here.

 

Yeah, I can go quite a bit lower on the front and the rear. For races, I'd go about an inch lower on the front and leave the rear where it is.

I think they are the 8" springs, Billy could say for sure or I'll measure them next time the wheels are off. I did weld the perches at 6", and would say that is the perfect spot. I'm always about in the middle of the adjustment range or a bit lower...

 

my box that had the spring in it says 8 275

 

Hi Kentetsu.

Do you know the offset on your revolutions?
I am just in the process of buying a set of 8,5" in the rear and 7" in front.
Offset 20 in the back and 25 in front.Do you think that works??

Thanks

The only measurement I know for sure (because I measured it myself) is the backspacing, which is 4". Not sure what the relation is to "offset" or how to measure it...

 

Offset and backspacing always throw me off... That's why I keep this chart handy!

 

Looks good, can't wait to see them up close and personal at DGRR, they look so tiny in the pictures.

 

So then my 8" wheels, with 4" backspace, would be zero offset. Is that correct?


Orion, I can't wait for that event. The car has received a lot of cleaning over the past couple of weeks. Also, a lot of maintenance items I've been putting off for too long (tie rod ends, small oil leak where I need to replace a crush washer, a little bit of paint touchup, not to mention the new wheels). After giving her that much attention, I'm nearly convinced the motor will blow up or something. She always does **** like that when I spoil her. lol...

 

correct.

 

i'm jealous that you're able to go to DGRR. No funds + snow = next year *maybe*
