Would like to know who is running this same setup that i was given by Rishie. Any real world feedback would be great on how it feels with the car, either problems or if its been fine!

Front: 18x9 +48
Rear: 18x10.5 +37

Also what tire size do you have with this? I will have to buy them also and want perfect sizing. No stetching or buldging, just a straight side wall!
Spirited driving, light cruises and and a couple track days (not a lot though). so i need sticky but will last.

thanx
shawn

owen is fat

so......... what car do you plan to put these on?
what suspension mods does it have?
I am sure Rishie can/did tell you what tires will fit perfectly, he is a fitment guru!

tire sizes are limited to tire model and vice versa... if you are stuck on a certain size you may be stuck with a certain few tire models or if you want a specific tire you may s.o.l. for the size you want to run on those wheels and have it look the way you want it to look and fit the car withour rubbing.

so, more info puhleeez!

That is a great fitment up front, the rears will require rolling the rear fenders a bit.

Ideal tire sizes would be 255/35 front, 285/30 or 295/30 rear.

Crap, you know there is always something thats forgoten in a thread, sorry lol.

The car is a FD, and right now sitting on TEIN S-Techs, i will be going with coil overs in the future unless i have no issues withthe TEINs. I didnt ask Rishie about tires right away as i was more concerned about info on the rim.

Rynberg, thanx for that, im sure you knew right off that bat it was for the FD, with the offsets i posted. Also the fenders will be rolled.....

cheers

You know, on 2nd thought, that is a really aggressive fitment on a lowered car (I was thinking 18x10, +37, not 18x10.5). If you want to run a proper tire (285 or 295), you may have to fully roll the rear fender if not massage it a little bit.

Yes, Rishie did say that with this set up of +37 in the rear he has given me, i will have to roll the lip up completly!
I was doing some searching/reading and a lot of guys are actually running +43 in the front on a 9" rim. I'm going to look into that now instead of the +48.

rynberg

I would stick with the +48.....guys only run +43 because they have to.

You'll have to roll the front completely with the +43 if you plan to run a decent size tire. I think everyone has seen my car with Tein S-Tech's and 17x9 +43 with 255's but here it is again:

Mahjik what struts are you running? Did you roll your fenders in the front with the 255's?

I'm using Tokico's and the fenders are flattened, just just rolled.
