Some pics of my car w/the new wheels - 57 pros
 

After 4 years of owning my car I finally invested in some wheels. 18x10 rear (285/30) 18x9 front (255/35)
No more spinning through first gear. :D

nice...um...wheels?

EDIT:

nvm didnt show the pics the first time opps

Big meats .....

very nice...

looks good, do you rub at all

A few more.

My left front rubs when I am cornering hard. It sounds like the screw that holds the fender liner in. I probably just need to roll that one in a little more.

What kind of rubber did you go with?

BFG KDW
They stick very well, but I don't have any comparison except SO-3s on my stock wheels.

nice man

i wanna sell my wheels now ;)

Nice choice
 

Did you roll them yourself?

Did you crack your paint at all?

Look very nice BTW...

I have same wheels and tires, and yet to install them (in the middle of changing bushings and some other loose ends)

Looks like you have same offset too; +38,+40?

Again, nice choices.

Rotoboy, Your car looked so damn good, that's why I went with them...So it's your own fault. :)


I had a body shop roll the rear fenders when I had the back half rapainted. I rolled the fronts using the baseball bat method. The sheet metal was thin enough that it didn't take tons of pressure. I used a heat gun to warm the paint before rolling them. It seemed to work well enough. No cracked paint, at least not yet.

yup, 38/40 offset

Oh yeah, go AF!

Wow they look great, very meaty. Keep up the good work!

That FD looks like it has been properly PMCSed. Good Job Solder :patriot::bigthumb:

thanx

why not gold??

how much the wheels run ya and w/tires??

I thought about gold. I really wanted the RMC but that was supposed to be hard to get. I will probably get my car painted a different color in the next year or two and grey is a little more universal.

I think I got a decent deal on the wheels. The tires were nearly 1k though :(

Those wheels ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! They look amazing !!! What tires are those?????

:eek: very nice choice of wheels!

Daum!! Those looks sweet.

WOW! You and GoodfellaFD3S make me NOT want to sell my FD and put some wheels on lol DAMN That really looks sweet, I had GoodfellaFD3S on my desktop this week to get myself off my busy butt and get mine rollin again. Thanks man! ;D

Oh man I gotta get me some wheels.

The car looks Beefy!

Wow... Gorgeous! Deep dish rims abso-friggin-lutely rock!

I must ask a question though: Unless you are a drag fan, why do a lot of guys run such staggered feet? I'm running 235/front 275/rear (bought it that way), and I got rediculous understeer. Maybe it was just the mediocre tires too (Firestone Firehawks). Also, what is the widest fronts that I could run without having to flare the fenders too much? I'd like more meat up front without losing the stock bodylines.

Thanks

Why staggered? I couldn't get this wheel in the proper offset to go with 10" wide on the front. Plus, I don't plan on really pushing it on these tires and wheels, that's what the stock wheels w/victoracers are for. I did however go to a Porsche Club autocross last weekend and didn't notice a big handling imbalance...at the same time beating the closest porsche by over 6 seconds. Poseurs. :D

NICE!!!

What suspension are you running?

Looks great.... I have the same rims.

A 275/35/18 will give you a little more traction (more sidewall to flex) if you are having difficulties putting the power down. Maybe a thought when the 285's wear out.

So do those KD's kick butt or what? You should post your observations on the new combo in the suspension/tires section. Not many reviews to share on the KD's.... would be great to hear more about them.
