@digitalsolo: that looks absolutely amazing and the way the rubber fits is PERFECT, can i ask what the widths, diameters and offset and tire specs that you are running? That is my ideal wheel figment. I WANT IT!

 

Why 'errbody gotta stagger?

17x9 +35 all around.

 

No spacers?

 

Well, truthfully, yes I am running spacers ha. Wouldn't clear the front coils without them. I think it's something like 13mm in the front and 22mm in the rear for spacers.

 

Re: 17x9 all around

I just ordered a pair of the 17x9 to replace the 17x7 I had upfront. I am running Stance coilovers so I suspect it will clear without spacers but I think i might add them for a more flush.

That means I have a pair of 17x7 in Gunmetal with brand new Kumho ASX for sale if anyone is interested, PM if so. Wheels are perfect, less than 50 miles on them.

 

Well, I'm running Tein HA's and I needed spacers to clear the coils so you will probably need them regardless.

 

Ah, I thought you meant coil springs as in stock type suspension. What brand spacers did you find those sizes in? Are you running the same tire all around or different for front and rear?

Thanks for the info!

 

I would guess to make it fit over the dust cap... remove the dust cap just keep an eye on your bearing. I've had to do this will a saab but the bearings were sealed

 

No problem!

Basically, here's the abridged version. The 17x9 wouldn't fit period up front without a spacer so i ordered a 10mm spacer with extended lugs. They fit after that but rubbed on the coils. So I got the "Adjustable" spacers from PBM which is basically two sets of 15, 7, 5, and 3mm spacers. I put the 3mm in front to clear the rest of the way and put the 15 and 5 in the rear. So altogether I'm running +22 up front and +15 in the rear.

Tires are 235/40 Front 235/45 Rear.

Edit: I'm also still running with all my dust caps on.

I'm not seeing how that adds up to 22 in the front. 10 + 3= 13....Did you also add the 7 in the front? that'd be 20mm all together.

and then the 15 + 5 part, that'd be 20 for the rear, not fifteen.

I'm a bit more confused now..i'm just trying to figure out if I can buy solid spacers in say 20mm for the front to clear the coilover and some 15mm for the rear just for flush look.

 

The wheels come +35. I have -13mm in spacers which subtracts to 22mm. -20mm in spacers for the rear subtracts to 15mm.

You'd have to run a little bit of stretch in the front with a 20mm cause i rub a little bit right now. As for the rear i can push them out a little bit more but I need to roll my quarter first.

I hope that makes sense.

 

okay I wasn't thinking of it that way...okay. I just got confused when you said "So altogether I'm running +22 up front and +15 in the rear." I thought you meant actual spacer thickness not wheel offset minus spacer. So really you're saying it could come out a touch in the front still, maybe 15mm of spacer.

That makes sense. And now I'm thinking geez I could go out to my garage and pull one of the 9"s off the rear and mount it up front to measure myself. Lol, long day.

Thanks man.

 

Ha we all have those kinds of days. Sorry for all the confusion. If I go any further out in the front I'll definitely have to stretch more. Where I sit now is about perfect for my tire size, and I sit pretty damn flush. Using a rear is a good idea though, you can visualize where exactly you want it to sit.

 

i don't know why the red didn't come out bright....
now the car has Amemiya AW7 for special events, and BBS RXII for everyday use.

 

 

Nice.

 

 

Are those painted white?

 

yes^

 

So legit.

 

Yeah looks very nice. I'm thinking of painting mine once the car is done being painted. Don't know what color but probably not white, looks great but I know it's gets filthy quick. Should have those front 17x9s any day now too. Yay!

 

Any way we can get more pictures of the white?

 

the STFU. sticker made me lol. i love it.

Great ride, i ordered those wheels in 18x9.5 and 18x8.5 a few weeks ago...should be here any day.

 

Hated 'em. They were heavy as hell.







Dang. My car was REALLY high off the ground...

 

They look good tho.
