Yeah, JTP knows his stuff. I'm planning on 18's or 19's with 30mm fenders front and back. Ima gonna watch this one.

Zenneti aluminum wheels with Falken ZE512 235/45/z18 8.5 front 265/45/z18 9.5 rear with 25mm spacers up front. Stance GR coilovers. A little bit of rubbing when turning too sharp, but otherwise fit fine.

platinumpresto

nice... you gotta little micro stretch going on their in the rear. could use some spacers in the rear and a 1"drop ... when i first saw this i thought they were 17s!!!

platinumpresto

te chikz dig red... a clean red though

demontwig

Stretch...you mean that thing under the rear trim piece? I know. If not that, elaborate? and I don't know if I want to drop it anymore, the coilevers dropped it a fair amount already; I think the pic makes it look like it sits higher than it does.

I think the big wheels don't look bad, but not at the cost of the stretched rubber.. I don't mind rubber thats flat with the wheel, and I prefer a little overhang, but stretched rubber smaller than the wheel just looks out of place.

Now, the reason for the stretched rubber is clearance, correct?

18's on stock body looks goofy.

18's need aero and low. lots of low. and flush.

like so.



or like so.



someone buy my 18's.

platinumpresto

a stretch is when you get a tire that is not wide as your rim...

I.E.-

you have 265/45/18 on a 9.5

a good stretch would be 235-245/45-55(depending on sidewall compound)/18

picts..

modern stretch -




insane stretch -

hers mine, 18 inch at italia flash's:

LeeTheSlacker

yup, youre right.

Sindregutt

Everyone whines about ricers... haha.. You all drive a f***** japanese rice-cooker with a 1.3L turbo engine!
Anyway.. I dont think 18" rims looks too bad on a stock car. Here is my car with unknown brand 18x9.. and i think the offset 35mm so im running 25mm spacers on all four wheels
I havnt lowered it enaugh yet and the camber in front isnt correct either..

^^ i know what you mean. i have to roll my front fenders.

Sindregutt

I dont like the look of rolled fenders on the FC.. Boostinmys5 got some really nice rear fenders, and he says that they are rolled, but i dont belive him haha. Dont understand how he can get a so nice and sharp edge without doing more than just rolling..

platinumpresto

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





...avatars dont count, but i can imagine... ok no i cant... i needz picts

i do have spacers on the car because the rims came off of an fd, when i say roll the fenders i mean just get rid of the sharp lip on the inner fender to keep a stock look to the fender.

platinumpresto

i had cut the originial fenders off before i added my wide body kit, i believe it will save weight and allow for a 17x9 -5 and a 18x10 -15 setup.........hopefully
