Is there a thread already made?
Im trying to get 4x100 wheels on my 4x110 fb.
I really want to lower car and get work equip 01 (rota zero).. 15x8. Need help. My car looks like crap right now.

I have the limited edition mesh wheels now.
Not the konig rewinds.

I have 1" thick spacers from Adaptitusa.com (~$100 per pair) to convert from 4x110 to 4x100. That is the thinnest spacer you can get to convert bolt patterns. With that adapter/spacer a 15x7 4x100 wheel with ET40 fits perfectly on a lowered ITA (race) FB. I have coilovers with camber at -2.5. The 205-50-15 tires just clear the coilovers on the inside and the rolled fender lips on the outside.

Any pics of your car?

Not very good pictures, but at least they show the clearance (kind of anyway). The car is lowered to 5" from the bottom of the pinchweld when wearing 225x45x13 tires.

That looks really good.
You on custom coilovers?

Ground Control. Camber plates mounted on top of the strut towers. Nothing fancy.

What about the rear? This type of suspension set up is new to me. Ive only owned fcs.

The rear is just a 5" diameter coil spring. I have 225# springs in the rear to go with 400# springs in the front. That works great on a race car, but would be hell on the street. A reasonable stiff spring rate for the street would be something like 175# in the front and 100#in the rear. I believe that is similar to what spec 7 used (or what RB, Eibach and others sell as a street upgrade).

The coilovers in the front (with camber plates allow more camber that also brings the top of the tire in somewhat and helps fender clearance.
