I just saw that the company whom I bought my wheels from are a new sponsor on the forum.

https://www.rx7club.com/invision-performance-182/

They gave me an unbeatable deal and were awesome to work with. When I called them, I wasn't even set on wheels, but the quote I got for the zigens were too crazy to pass up, so I ordered on the spot.

it looks kinda weird in these pics cuz i had to raise it 1/2 inch in the front and 1 inch in the rear so i can get out of my driveway.lol using STANCE coils w/ 12k front and 12k rear. handling is tighter than a 5th grader but its not as stiff as you would think.

Did you have to stretch the tires at all, or could you make them fit with just a fender roll?

all the tires are 235/45/17 which is almost the same siz as stock and ur speedo will read about the same. no roll in the rear, rolled in the fronts. there is about a 5 inch length of the fender at the top that you have to roll, no need to do entire fender. and use a wooden one, not an aluminum "low offset stick" baseball bat.

Tried the link to INVISIONPERFORMANCE.COM and didn't find anything 5ziegen related. Do they make these in 18 inch? Approximately how much coin? Who has them in stock??

note..
18x9.5 has the concave face same as the 17x10.
all others are flat faced.
LAN, car looks good!
Oun, wow, nice setup, kinda skimpy on the tire size considering you can fit a 285 under stock fenders with a +50 offset, but hey it looks good, is MUCH cheaper than mega-money 285/30r18's and probably feels light and damn nimble, right?

the fn01rc do not come in +50 offset. The highest they come in the 17x10 is +35 and in 18x9.5 is +45.

too bad you didnt run an offset closer to +50, then you could run some really wide tires like 285/30r18's and have insane grip.

if you really wanted the hella flush fitment you shoulda run some 18x10.5 +35 with a 265 tire, then you have wide meats AND flushness for the dorifto-fanboyz.

They don't list any info on their site yet, but they do carry them and can ship your wheels out within a day or two. I've dealt with them many times, ask for Louis and tell him I sent you, and he will take care of you.

With my 10s all around, I have 255s all around and have room to spare. It fits well in the front with my fenders rolled, and the rears aren't rolled with plenty of room to spare. With a fender roll, I'm almost positive 285s would fit. And in the front 255 is more than enough rubber for me.
