Requesting pics! Starion rims on a FC!
 
Looking to get some Mitsubishi Starion rims for my FC. Just requesting some pics and a few questions.

I still don't understand how the whole offset thing works, I was just wondering if the starion rims will fit without rubbing on the fender or brakes or anything. I don't have a 4pot setup installed yet.

If it requires it, I can do rolling and pulling. Used the baseball bat trick on my buddies s13 and it worked great for when he slammed it on equips.

man those look nice. gonna snag me some.

What about fitment? In eriksseven's thread, he says his rims are custom done.

The stock offset of these rims is like 16x7 +18 on the front and 16x8 -10 for the rear.

Turbo II Rotor 12-30-08 03:18 PM

I think he added a 10mm spacer in the front but don't quote me on that. Why don't you PM him?

francogt1 12-30-08 03:20 PM

u need spacers to be able to run those rims on the front it wont clear the suspension. rears are fine

namelesspenguin 12-30-08 11:34 PM

fitment is nice
wheels are ugly

Hypertek 12-30-08 11:56 PM

i agree, they look wierd on anything outside of a starion, it just screams "i got these wheels at the junk yard".. as alot of 240s i see that have em are typically drift beat up.

i love the way they look on a fc! i have been bugging my friend for about ayear now to sell me his other set he has lol

g14novak 12-31-08 07:53 AM

Well, I got them yesterday. They don't need spacers to fit on the front, they clear the suspension no problem. The rears stick out quite a bit though. Think I might have to get fenders. I'll post pics when I get home from work today.

The rims are actually extremely cheap. You can find a set with decent tread still left on them for about 150$. A junkyard owner quoted me 200$ on the special edition wider 16x8 and 16x9 rims with 4 good tires.

Sorry I took so long for the pic. Here it is.

i personally think some stock s5 wheels would look better than cheaping out on some rims from another old car like starion, but thats just me.

g14novak 03-01-09 01:56 AM

Their wider than stock and I personally think they look better on this car so why not?

NoPistons! 03-06-09 02:55 AM

Yeah. They should have been stock equipment on the fc.

Screw mitsufeces.

SirCygnus 03-06-09 09:38 AM

oh god i love starion wheels.

lonetlan 03-08-09 09:13 PM

where can I get those rims? there aren't any near me

Spirit Rx-7 03-09-09 01:10 AM

this is the only pic i have, and its only the rear wheels. imo they dont fit really well on the back, unless pull or skinny tires. but they sure look cool!

I think their great for sliding. I have 205's on it right now and definately still want to go skinnier (anyone know where to get 185/60/R16?).

nightridaz777 03-09-09 05:06 AM

they look good. next time im at the junkyard im gonna see if i can get me a set for my track car.

Neo_Drift 03-09-09 04:25 PM

i know a guy with some starions on his s13. great wheels for sliding on.
look good on most of those types of cars.
