17 Inch Super Lights

 

Not yet, my tire order just messed up so I went ahead and bought a new rear diff, all new brake rotors and pads, some RB lowering springs, shock mounts and spring seats. Tires are next in the list. I'll post as soon as I have them though, don't worry about that.

 

i have a set of 18x9.5 +22 all around im picking up perfect FC fitment on all corners (W/ coilovers) and sportmax wheels are gay for one reason. They are way to damn heavy.

 

 

argg too much rubber

 

agreed

 

way too much rubber. run 205's on the 7" wheels and 215's or 225's on the 9's

i'm 215 all the way around on 17x8's..... stretch ftw

 

nope, just enough rubber for me, I'm not a fan of stretching tires and these are perfect, don't mind the added protection for the rim either. I ended up with the ASX's instead of the Ecsta MX's due to the MX's being on backorder, oh well. There will plenty of chances to try different tires.

Just got to drive it with the new differential, suspension, brakes and wheels today. It seems to be settling a bit which is good.

What are your wheel/tire specs viper?

 

i run 275/45/17 on my fc with 17x9 rear and 225/45/17 up front with 17x7.i have pictures somewhere here on the forum.

 

the specs were

18x7.5 38 offset 2.25" lip front
18x9.5 35 offset 3.25" lip rear


and i dont remember the tires exactly..... they were 225/35 front, and 255/35 rear i think

 

Where can I get the gold versions of these wheels?

 

EASY. eBay! They have them in black with a red lip, these gold ones, and in gunmetal. If anyone is selling some 962 sportmax/XXR rims, PM me. I'm looking for a set for my FC. In in santa maria, CALi. Thanks.

 

Check zilvia. Duders selling them dirt cheep picked up. Someone is always stepping their wheel game up to baller status and selling their old stuff to pay for tires.

yep thats correct..

i have 17x8 +43 up front with 6mm spacer and it barely fits my 205/40/17 eothout rubbing on the spring

and i have 17x9 +43 with a 20mm spacer and running 245/45/17 and it sits flush.. might throw on a 5mm spacer just to get it stick out a lil more

 

i wish i had 245/40/17 in the rear then my car would look leveled haha

 

I'm running 17x9.5 front and rear. Fronts are perfect with a 1/4 spacer and rears need a 1/2 spacer, I don't like the look of these wheels staggered. And yes they are heavy as *****.

 

Quick question: Anyone got weights?

 

I had these in 18x9.5 rear & 18x7.5 fronts. The 18x9.5 each with tire weighed 55lbs & the 18.7.5 each with tire weighed 50lbs. They are pretty heavy that is why I got rid of my set.

 

17x9 - 25lbs
18x9.5 - 28.5lbs

 

I made the center caps fit by grinding down the end of the stud that the wheel bearing is mounted to the hub with (the part that hits the cap). I cut it down to about 1/16" from the cotter pin that locks the castle nut. I then spaced out the center cap with some small washers and longer bolts, by a little under 1/16". Just clears (no contact with the stud) and the spacing of the cap is not noticable. I did have to (obviously) lose the dust caps on the wheel bearings.

I know you asked for a FC with them, but hey they're on my boosted Miata. Alot of guys don't like 17's on miatas, but personally I think the 962's are a great wheel for these cars and FC's. I get compliments all teh time!

Oh and these are the chrome faced as well, I did not see anyone rockin' these in this thread. Hope you enjoy!
