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.

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.

what happened to the enkies?

I like the gram lights. Thinking of going with these myself in 17in and black center with polished lip.

Got a shot of the whole side of the car with the front and back wheels?

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

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

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)



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.
