Hey whats up i was wondering if anyone could help me out ive been searching for awhile but maybe i can seem to find the key words to type. I have Powered By Max modded knuckles with the mazdtrix angle kit here are some questions i have.

Im getting these mustang wheels 17x9 24mm, 17x10.5 27mm.

1. Will a 9 inch wheel hit the sway bar with that much angle?
2. Can i air hammer in the wheel wells to make fitment?
3. Anything else anyone think might get in the way of the wheel? I will probably stretch some tires on the front a little to clear up some room.


Any help is well appreciated!!!

 

The wheel will hit the lower control arm before it hits anything in the wheel well. No hitting of the swaybar here and im 18x10 +17 up front.

 

alright thanks do you have some sort of angle kit? i just want to make sure the wheels will work before i buy them

 

Same here 17x9 I can do offset 17mm to -8mm with 205/40 and don't touch nothing

 

U will more than likely need a spacer to look right " not sucken i'n" but shouldn't have a clearance issue

 

why get wheels two inches wider than the stock turbo wheels, only to stretch stock turbo width tires over them?

 

Good point haha. Its for my drift car and i have 18x7.5 all around now and i just want wider wheels. I already have a set of spacers for the front like quarter inch i think, we will see if i will need more when i get them just glad to see they fit cause $600 shipped for the 4 wheels is a bargain. Wont feel so bad if i slam them into a curb or something. What size tires does anyone think i should put on them for drifting even though this is not the drifting forum.

 

yeah i got mazdatrix angle kit

 

Curbs? Damn, remind me never to drift the tracks you go to lol.
...assuming you ARE going to the track and not the street

 

Nothings better then some good ol fasioned late night sliddin :]

 

how much was the kit? and whats the site?

 

stretching tires has a slight function in drifting, it creates a stiffer sidewall. can also help with fitment if you are really low like most drift cars.

 

stretching tires does not help with sidewall. especially on radial tires. radial tires are meant to be fit perfectly, ie 255/40/17 on a 17x9 this way, the steel belts and the reinforcements on the sidewall will be at its optimal angle, where the tire pressure reinforces the sidewall, created the stiffest sidewall possible. a stretch pulls the belts at weird angles so that belts originally meant for sidewall stiffness are pulled in strange directions, not helping your sidewall.

 

well, its one arguement. i haven't a clue really. I drift na so when I get my wheels, I'm stretching for less contact patch with good rim fitment so I can spin them easier.lol. maybe I mistated the sidewall thing, maybe the sidewall moves less with it stretched for drifting? would that make sense or no?
