Not an FB, but a common wheel option nonetheless. Konig Rewinds: 15x7 20mm offset.

The car is half silver, does that count. :)

Heres mines, Rims where not my original choice but got a great deal on them,, actually it was cheaper to buythese used w/ new tires then it was to get 14" new tires, But anyways they are 17" 205/40/17 with a plus 40 offset

DAYUM!! I was not going to get anything bigger than 16" but this has made me rethink that decision.

Kerebrus 12-04-08 06:47 PM

HOLY!! Those are the exact rims I want!! Up^
Anyone know whose car that is? I'm pretty sure those are 17" Racing Harts C2 3 Piece

Not sure if your asking about my setup but I will answer you just in case..:icon_tup:
FRONT: 17x8 with 22mm offset and a 3mm spacer to clear the factory front struts. Tires are 215/40/17
REAR: 17x9 with a 27mm offset. Tires are 225/40/17
Fenders have all been rolled to clear. I am running Tokico blues with Eibach springs that have been cut 1 coil.

^Looks Sweet!
thats the rims I want when i go to 17's

pillage6 12-05-08 01:15 PM

Making a deal right now for some 17x7's with 42 offset, even if they don't fit the price is right so that I could sell them without a loss. Please chime in if you think there is something wrong with the wheel setup.


Thanks,
Neil

Yes was in an accident and it was ported it. Long gone now.
All I have left are the seats.

trochoid 12-06-08 07:04 PM

My personal preference tends to run old school. Either a mesh wheel, the 83 LE wheels or one of the many banana spoke styles. On a silver body the centers should be painted/powdercoated black, charcoal or silver with a polished lip, LE wheels should remain oem.

In the following link are the Epsilons on the widebody, which are being replaced with a wider set of SSRs that look almost identical.

Dan_s_young 12-06-08 08:26 PM

I am also a fan of the black mesh with chrome lip, looks amazing on almost all cars. My setup is 17x10, 17x12 CCW classic 3 piece wheels. 5.5" backspacing in the rear, 4.5" backspacing up front.

pillage6 12-07-08 04:49 PM

17x7" with 42 offset didnt work for some reason but I didn't have the time to really see what the deal was, so I'll be looking for wheels with 38-40 offset. I'm sure it was hitting the caliper so I'm back on the hunt for some 16's or 17's with the lower offset.

FirebirdSlayer666 12-07-08 10:10 PM

+42 offset is way to high without spacers. You should look more towards the +20-30 range

One guy had +40 with 16x7" wheels so I thought I would be okay but I guess not, will try to find some spacers and see how much clearance I need to be safe. Thanks for your input though I appreciate it though.

FirebirdSlayer666 12-07-08 11:27 PM

Who was this? If it was Tallbozo, his was a mis-type, his are 15x7 +20 offset. With that high offset it causes clearence issues with that wide of a wheel with the struts. Plus, why would you want FWD wheels anyway? ;) Deep dish FTW

pillage6 12-08-08 02:06 AM

Just for selection I guess, not too many wheels come in 20-30mm offsets it seems or maybe I am not looking in the right places. Will probably go with the Maxxim Screeches (38mm offset), 15x7 with spacers if needed, they have the old school look I am going for the bigger wheels were kind of gaudy anyways.
