My new rims

Just got my new Enkei 92s today and immediately went and got tires on them. They are 15"x8" +25 with 205/60/R15 tires on them. I love them!


(My car is lowered on tanabe springs)



Frontal view with george cat

The offset turned out great for a flush look.

Dude, the fc can't get *****, cause the ***** is running away from it, or is winning a race. Hahah. My roomate had a set of those wheels on his s13 years ago before he got his 5 lug convert and his watanabes.

arctic silver + gold wheels is a good color combo^^
15's aren't really photogentic on an fc so it looks probably alot better in person.
But I think some wider tires, like 225 would suit them better.
And if you'd lower your car more it should even be photogenic with 15's^^

I see exactly what you're saying. I took a few more pictures that turned out a little better, here's one of them.

I'd love to go lower but I have a bit more to learn about clearances before I do that. The front left rubs a little bit now :-*(

I don't think I could have gotten the enkei 92's new in 16 inch. I'm pretty sure they only make 15. I could be wrong though.

Yeah, that's the next step I think. The rears have plenty of clearance, just the fronts need rolled. I've never dealt with this before so I'm a little skeptical of trying it myself.

lol yup the tires are a little meaty because I didn't want to have an overall diameter of wheel and tire lower than stock. The 205/55/r15 were a little bit smaller, while the 205/60/r15 were a little bit larger. The pictures hide a lot too, my interior is a disaster :-)
