From the pics they looked narrower than what I have. Hopefully I'll have the car done within the next two weeks.

i wish i had an FD and money......but i love my FC

 

Hope so too...want to see them wheels rolin for real!

 

haha, but then it might be getting sold, i dunno

 

are you guys planning on running the plastic wheel inserts? If so, will they be modded/cut to make the tires fit?

 

I installed the inserts, but not sure if they are needed. What do they do exactly? Looks like they are supposed to center the wheel on the hub.

 

yup, those are just to center to wheel to the hub. there's some nice polycarbonate ones on ebay for real cheap. i was thinking about picking them up, but i've been told that sometimes the heat from brakes can cause them to warp or melt

 

I don't understand why Volks supply cheap plastic centering rings

 

FYI, artowar posted about aluminum rings here:

Hey guys I am also getting these wheels for my FD in 18X9 up front and 18X10 in the rear. I was hoping to run a 265/35/18 up front and a 285/30/18 out back as these are the only 2 sizes I can get in the Yokohama 048 Advans. Will the 265's fit up front with some fender rolling? I will be running the GC coilovers with the Gab R's for the time being, and then probably switching to Ohlins. Thanks guys.

Brett.

 

A 265/35 will probably have too tall of a sidewall.

 

Not really. P-Zero Asymmetrico 265/35-18s are 25 inches in overall diameter--if you believe what Tire Rack posts on their spec sheets for each tire size...

 

Weird. a 255/35 is closer to 26 inches.

Using this link and checking Tirerack it looks like the 265/35/18 is 25.3 inches tall and the 255/35/18 is 25 inches tall. The Advans are 25.2 inches tall in 265 and 24.8 inches tall in the 285 size. They may fit after all.

What did that wheel/tire setup cost you and where can you buy them

thanks

 

255/35-18 works out to 25 inches, arithmetically.

 

Weird. Maybe the wheel size calculator I used was off. I took more pics yesterday. Will post later

 

Having trouble posting pics. Put them here http://www.nopistons.com/forums/inde...ic=38876&st=25

 

wOw nice wheels dude. I've been thinking of getting some also. You know if they come in bronze, cause I always loved the contrast between blue cars and gold wheels. 'Ihor' <---- Is that Russian?

 

They come in a gold/bronze color as well. I'm ukrainian. Pretty close to russian.

 

Thanks!

 

Ukrainian, zdorov bratan! You buy cars at auctions cause thats what a lot of ukes are into here in NY. I just bought a blue rx7 in fredricksburg, going to be here monday, can't wait. Where you from in ukraine, been in the staes for a while? I see your doin pretty good since you got yourself an fd.
