[QUOTE=RTY PWR;11414693]thanks dude. you planning on going to any of the shows this year??

 

If all goes to plan yes I should be at some. Can't be certain yet tho. Maybe we can meet up at some of them! Car looks sick man! you keeping these wheels on the FC?

 

yea, after i took them off my other car these just look so dope on here...if the do come off it will ONLY be for yokohama super advan sa3r's. im pretty much doing a full time attack build. well, thats the plan anyways lol

 

Just picked these up yesterday.. only 17x8-9s.. now i just need to suck it up and buy big dumb lips for them.

 

Also, does anybody have experience with how much spacer can be used with stock wheel studs? Im sure i could break out a measuring tape and math it up. Im at work though and they frown upon such activities.

 

A

 

5mm spacer will work. 3mm is safer.. I'd go bolt on though, that's the safest route.

 

Yikes, im lookin for about 15mm to be hellraflush. Thanks

 

First of all, don't buy a spacer only because the wheels are 17x9, x8. what are the offsets. 17x9's and 17x8's have the potential to be flush depending on offsets. if your offsets are somewhere between +5 through +15 you do not NEED a spacer. any higher and you'll want to space them out though :X

 

if youre gonna buy bigger lips for those wheels, also consider the fact that it will:
1) lower the offset even more
and
2) depending on the size of lips, it might make your wheels poke since it will add width.

if the wheel you pictured is an 17x9 wheel, that offsets looks to be around 25-30ish...so a 10-15mm spacer would be perfect

 

They are 46s all around. My 30-35s on now sit appropriately. By that and fc3s pro's lil graph thingy... ive come to the prolly needing 15mm spacers.

 

Yeah all true.. its gonna be a struggle regardless.. lil thing called scrub radius concerns me. Being 8-9s with fairly standard offset, im sure its not too hateful.

Some of those guys running 11-12s.. et minus something .. i would venture to say have thrown that all outta wack lol. But damn does it look awesome..

Plus the cost of purchasing bigger lips starts to hurt in a hurry. Then how some people swear it's ok to reuse the bolts. Some say dont even think about it.. blah blah.. i gotta get a cage and a big single turbo first. Lol

 

my buddy used to have diamonds on his fc. 16x12 -4 in the rear....they were stupid huge. but he had huge overfenders so it looked damn good lol

 

Wow.. I bet that looked .. yeah wow Lol sick nasty.. are any pics available for that madness

 

ive got to dig back a while. i think that was back in like 06 or 07 lol

 

screaminFC love the lip and the wheels the vs-xx are my favorite next super advans

 

thanks man...and still being 4 lug they were hard as hell to find lol

 

thats how it always works when you're lookin for a nice set of wheels. its either the size isn't that great or its the wrong lug pattern.

 

subbed to this thread!

 

Super clean! Nice fitment

 

Car a couple weeks ago. She's rocking a green sticker now which means I need an exhaust cert and have to change rear tyres before driving again.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using RX7Club

 

Looks good man!

 

Almost ready for the road

17x9 +21
17x9.5 +15

 

 

I know it's not the greatest fitment, but the wheels came with the car and the powdercoating was free. Here is what I have.

Also, I apologize about the cell phone quality pictures.
















Specs: MB Weapons/ A Tech Erasers
Front: 17x7.5 +40 ish (245/40/17)
Rear: 17x8.5 +40 ish (205/40/17)

Car is lowered on Stance GR's. Thinking about spacers for the front until I can afford the good set of wheels I want.
