New rims on my car (pics!)
 
2 Attachment(s)
So i finally got my adr rims mounted, they are 18x7.5 with a 42mm offset. I wish i had gone with 17's.....but i already had em. Anyways, the tires are Nitto 555's. So far so good. 225/40/18 all the way around.

sorry, i was editing

Any opinions welcome......just dont be an ass!!!! lol ;)

You should have gone with a lower offset.

RotaryEvolution 02-15-05 09:20 PM

it just looks decieving with the center spokes, it looks close to stock offset.

bah, you should have gone with something wide as hell out back, like 275's or 265's on a 9" wheel in the rear (it fits!)... and 17's would be fine for that...

sectachrome 02-16-05 05:52 PM

lookin good.

ps- youre smoking a bit there... ;)

Bigretardhead 02-16-05 07:05 PM

wow, I'm suprised those fit with 225's and a 42 offset. some other guy was having problems with rubbing with a 35 offset on an 8 inch wheel.

anyway, the wheels look nice besides the crappy offset, and I've never liked 18's before :D

rwd 02-16-05 09:19 PM

i think they look good buti would go with 17s

If our opinion doesn't matter, don't post pics asking for it.

They look good, but I would never get 18"s on an FC, or any car for that matter.

that has got to be the ugliest looking 7 ive eer ssen

man i hate to see another 7 riced out like that :(

88t2romad 02-16-05 11:49 PM

Thats not smoke, its was night time (obviously) here in NY and it was a lil' cold. About 20 degrees.

And if i had known what size and offset to use on a 9 inch rim......believe me i would have gone with it!!!!!!!!!!

88t2romad 02-19-05 10:27 PM

I think lambo doors make ya look like a wannabe lambo driver, First of all Real lambo doors when you pull them down latch that way as they are coming down. If im not mistaken, the lambo door conversion you have to bring the doors down first then close it like a normal door, so yes whats the point

oh btw nice wheels 88t2romad,
