16x8, 16x9 round about a 20-25 offset (I think, not stamped) 1" spacer rear, Enkei 92 knock offs (I believe ARE?) came stock on late 80's Saleen Mustangs.

Z flares right?? i love em

foil8485 12-24-08 01:12 AM

Yup. ZG flares, which still need a bit more work to fit better, but I like them for the most part.

You from Hawaii?? Oahu?? I'd agree with FireBird and say 4x110 since the GSL-SE are 4x114 with different looking
rims.

I still am working on getting the 5 lug setup in the front. so no. :wallbash:

I still have the enkies, I actually went and took them to a friends house and i took some pics of his car for him. The Grams are my friends, however i'll be picking some up soon :D

Normally, I say anyone running larger than 18" might as well make their seven a Donk... (Please don't do such a think to our cars!)
But some of these 18's are fitting nicely, what kind of drop to you guys use? and how is steering/travel when hitting bumps?

On a side note- that's a bitchin' S13!

Well im going to be honest, the main focus of this car is for drifting, so it sorta will be on the ground when im done. (eh who cares about suspension geometry ;) )

in the picture my car isnt all the way down, the rims need to be stretched (like mine on the RPF1's) for me to utilize full lowness (new word) So in the picture my entire frame is actually just sitting on the wheels as the tires are stopping it. lol Otherwise my car would probably drop another inch or so (it would be close to the top of the rim)

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...c/DSC00773.jpg

Im running a custom rear coilover setup in the rear, so my normal drop as of right now is about 2-3 inches.

here hopefully in a few months when the car is fully kitted (yes kitted) and on full 5 lug and rims, it will be probably 2 inches off the ground ;) (perfect drift stance ;) )

Nice, wheels. i think their the same ones i have on mine, but im not sure who makes em. Ive been running 205/60's on them, but tires are getting harder to come by. How do you like the 195s? i'm guessing your running an aspect ratio of 60 as well.

dub81 01-02-09 05:12 AM

^^^ Do you a higher resolution pic of your fb?? Curious to see. Based on your avatar, i bet its already looking hawt. ;)

No disrespect, but I am really ****king tired of asking people for the setups especially the ones that are very nice, and you know exactly who you are.

Why don't people list the specs of their wheels? Offset? Tire size? Wheel size? Please be kind and share these thing with us lowlifes so that we may learn or do you require a payment by PayPal before you enlighten us?

If so I have no issues with payment, I am right on the cusp of spending $1k+ on wheels and would like some sort of input besides pictures of badass cars with badass wheels damn it!!!!!

getting the outer lip on the fronts moved to the outside of the center section, the guys failed to tell me when they were making up the rims that they would be as they were. no biggy thou will look 300% better once changed around

me too im clueless who makes them ?are yours with the 4x110 bolt pattern?

The 195s are good ,but im having traction issues with my turbo set up i they spin all the way up till third ....i was trying to find 205s but no one seems to have them =(

but on the bright side its saving my transmission and rear end :lol:

risingsunroof82 01-05-09 12:29 PM

My N/A car with 225's in the back still spun the back wheels up till third, stock motor with header and racing beat setup.

205/60's should fit a stock layout with RB springs without any rubbing, yes?

Do you need nuts or bolts?

4portgsl 01-06-09 06:11 PM

Puna Rotary: Yeah, mine are 4x110. Ive pretty much only been able to get the 205/60s online at places like tirerack.com they have a really nice set of yokohama avs es100's on there even if they are pricey. I'm about to experience traction issues as soon as my streetport 4port 13b is up and running, at that point i may convert to 4x114.3 so i can get some meat under it...

hantonyc 01-07-09 08:12 PM
