ahh okey rotorhead!

[QOUTE]wow, great setups.. but you guys are starting to scare me... its like you cant tuck your front in with your current setups... but then again most of you have spacers[/QUOTE]
Do you mean the front fender will hit the tire? My car is extremly stiff and with some more camber i hope it helps. Im also planning to get the car wider but dont know how... yet...

i have suspension on my car, and its stiff, i have a lil bit of tire rub when i take corners hard. just cuz i have 18's doesn't mean i don't like to drive like i still have my stock 16's. tire rub isn't that bad, only under heavy cornering.

those srt rims looks fucking hot

yeh, if you plan on driving hard, going over speed bumps, running from the cops... i believe they will rub-ba-dub-rub. and doing a camber will eat tires if your not prepared

thats why simply bending back the little lip on the fender will go a long way. cuz i've done most of what you just listed. lol... fun times

they were sportmax 962's

....other than trying not to drift my vert... get girls, leave girls... lol



....lol, na really... it all depends on budget(like a fc3s owners), the exterior is done except for jap wheels and vinyl... the interior is next or im going to sell her and move to next project

He showed me his car before he got the rear fenders. They are rolled, I think he cut out the inner fender lining though. He just slapped the rear fenders over the rolled fender.

ricky show us a pic of what you got going on with your rims.. i'm still curious with those pulled fenders

I bought boostinmys5's (Justin's) black FC because I love owning cars that people hate. haha

Plus it was about time that I went to some drift events again and this was an easy way to get back into it.

Oh, 18x10 +17 and 18x10 +/-0

And I believe that Justin's green car has had the stock wheel arch cut up higher and rewelded to the fenderwell. At least, that's usually how it's done.

there are some haters but that car is sick. he sold it pretty cheap too considering all the work done to it. nice find. put it to work

My car is heading to the bodyshop as soon as Shine finishes my front fenders. I went with the standard GP Sports kit, Roof Spoiler, 30mm rear fenders, 30mm ventless front fenders, and RE-Amemiya areo mirrors. Don't know what kind of rims I'm going to be rolling on, but I'm thinking about doing a 18x9 up front and 18x10 or 11 in the back. I'm still debating on what I should do with it. Also saving up for a good set of coilovers. :) It'll take some time, but it's well worth it.

Yeah dude, that car is sick. It's good to go at a really good price. Honestly, if Justin opened up a shop, I'd go to him everytime. I say that because he was there for me when my FC was down and I totally trust and thank him for that.

isn't he with srmotorcars? or atleast works for them. but yeah that set up sounds pretty detailed for your car... +1 for being broke. i just want to track mine next month but... you have to have coilovers to set up proper ride height esp with that kit and rims

Yeah, I'm just trying to gather up all my info on rim sizes and widths. In the meantime, I'm working on getting coilovers. I wish I could just slap on the JIC FLT-A2's from my protege!!!

hi, after looking these thread i have a quetion for the guys that are using 18x8'5 in the front. right now my TII has 19'' wheels but my front wheels are rubbing the shocks , mainly because the tire is a 245/35/19( the car is not on the road im testing only). but anyways i have 19x8'5 all around, i want to know how can i set this up on my car to make it have a good stance. if i lower the tire to 235/35/19 in the front it seems i have to use a spacer on front so wouldn't that make the car look a little goofy because they're the same width rims in front and on the back. it may look like the front wheels look wider than the back wheels. well anyone who can help me here it'll be apreciate it.

What offset are you running and what kind of suspension do you have?

i think the offset is +38 and the suspension is pretty basic, kyb gr-2 gas shocks and intrax springs.

Gotcha. I'm not much for stretching, don't feel it's safe personally. And I didn't choose it that way, was like that when I bought it. I would have preferred 17's, but I'm not complaining. So, what would be a good size for the rim I have? I don't mind the stretch now, but when I get new tires I wouldn't mind eliminating it.

well, yes the stretch is for looks, and can help in the drift dept(smaller contact patch[area that touches the road] ). but if your looking for grip then the stretch is only good on a super wide tire where the contact patch is greater than a stock contact patch.



--so in my recommendation for your stretch...
215/45/z18 front
245/45/z18 rear


...hopefuly this wont look crazy and not very noticeable to the average driver (unless their from japan/vw driver/drifter)

This is how rediculous 19's would look lol

...actually, instead of jumping in to the stretch scene how about you gradually step down your width until you get your desired look

repost

u need to believe.... at least you tried to compare... but 19s do fit...

BEHOLD...

...19x10s

https://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y2...s/DSC_2172.jpg

I think you misread. I don't like the stretch. If anything I want wider. I do plan to drift some, but mainly grip.

never said they didnt fit ... just look rediculous without extensive body work

tru

Yup. As stated before, 19's would not look good on a stock body.

if your 'BALLIN'

any info you can give me about my setting bro??? kyb gr-2 shocks and intrax springs with a +38 offset.

Sorry man, you're best bet is to ask RETed on the wheel size thread. The Official FC Wheel Fitment Thread. I'd ask the same question there. This thread is more for pictures than info... or at least that's what the title was. I was hoping that someone else would be able to chime in.

pretty large. belive they are 19. and they fit fine.
i bought it this way . have no need to take them off

on my setup im tucking some and just get a little rub at full counter sliding.
but thats fun cause you get smoke off the fronts and lots of tire boogers on your mirrors.

and this, but this was with the 16's. same rolling diameter as the 18s though.

looks like the front tires give you trouble because of the offset

the rear looks pretty sick. what offset is that by the way

Yeah, the fender in the front is close to the tire but it works without any trouble since the front fenders are flared alittle bit, the rear is stock, no problems there either.

The offsets are:
Front: +25
Rear: +30

and i take it that their are no spacers, but [opinion insert here->] id go with a lower offset in the front, especially how the face of the rim sticks out past the lips... *shivers*

...but the rear are perfect

heres a fc with the sunk face ones all around.

although they are the real nismo lmgt4's, not the rota knockoffs.
17/18 stagger.

Im likeing that me lad!!!

That would be lindsay's drift car alright

Are you sure its not justins? Lindsays was red last time I saw it and it couldnt have been more than 2-3 monthes ago

The car is red.

I've died a little bit with each picture.

But different strokes for different folks.

Full Race?? More like Full Rice. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.....

^It's a drift car, not a street car. It was built to drift in, and only drift in.

yeah no joke... if your personal opinion doesn't like the visual aspects of the car. his driving skills will back him up, that guy can fucking drive for damn sure.

Some 18s look good on a stock body and some look like ass, imo it depends on the offset, lip and how much of the rotors you're showing...

18x8 +38 offset 225/40 front
18x9 +38 offset 275/35 rear

stock suspension, lol :rock:

I find it funny that people are getting insulted even though it's not even their car...
I guess all the drift bitches aren't feeling all high and mighty since all the comments aren't all positive in their favor, huh...

On that last pic...I dunno how you got it to fit, cause an 8.0", +38 isn't supposed to fit with the stock suspension up front... :eek:
And I thought 275's were just too tight to stuff on back... :eek:
