I'm looking at that exact set... guy wants $2500 -thats 2500 I don't have because it's tied up in my motor... I'm trying to work something out.

If I cannot get those I'm going to get a custom set of diamond racing wheels made in some crazy size/offset that will simply blow everyones mind... of course that will be next spring due to low funding at the moment.

 

winnner!!!!!!!![

 

did the image not come up for ya Alex?

 

NO piture here.. Just the red supra with the works..

 

Is there a pic of your car without the flares on? It seems like the flares lower the height of the wheel opening, making he tires "tuck" excessively. On 240s and such, I believe the height of the wheel opening isn't changed but thanks to the body lines on the FC you have to mount the flares lower. That is the difference in how they look on an FC vs a 240/hachi.

This can also be seen on the purple car pictured, because he flares are made to include the body line, and are thus higher, and look more appropriate.

 

I get what your saying and I agree... The wheel "opening" is deff lower than stock, not by much, maybe .25 inch -with the proper wheel fitment everything will look right... I always have to option to modify the flares which I may do over the winter, again this is all trial stuff rightnow and the pics your seeing are not a finished product.

I'm test fitting my Enkei from the rear 18x9.5 +27 in the front tonight and Equip 18x10 +17 (i think) in the rear... should fill out the fenders much better.

 

good info on this thread.

Would this be the same process if you were to use the widebody fenders like origin?

 

For the rear yeah... the front are typically replacement fenders.

 

where did you get the flares from i want some

 

motorsportauto.com

 

Also test fitted some work Equips... these are 18x10 +17 with a 10mm spacer so basically a +7mm Still have plenty of room!

 

still need more wheel wow those flares are wide as hell

 

I know! looks like I'm kinda committed to getting some really baller wheels now!

 

yeah i see did i give you the equip flu lol good luck bro check rbwheels they have a gold set that will probably suit your set up i think they are 13" wide fronts and 14" wide rears

 

17x13-24 114.3 5 hole and 17x14-36 114.3 5h

dude I would LOVE those -but I'm in the hole rightnow... broke

Only way I could afford those would be to sell the LS2 lol

 

and the problem is....

 

had these wheels came along before the engine did I would have bought them. -but I only paid $2500 for a LS2 with 2000 miles on it soooo.... wheels can wait. I'm guessing by the odd ball size of them that they might have them there long enough for me to save up some scratch

Those wheels give me a major stiffy.

 

18x9.5 +17 in the front 225/40 tire:

 

looks like you still have a decent amount of room there....

 

jus step it up a notch on tire size and should be cool =D
did you remove the pinstrip? looks soo much cleaner imo

 

Wow that's alot of room. Looks good, clean install too, mad props.

 

the fronts pictured rub at full lock with the knuckles on... I'm going to need to trim the flares a bit

 

oh yeah... angle added!

 

Do yo still have a front swaybar?
