new sp1's for my FD
 
Got a pair of 18x9+37 ssr sp1's from tire rack for only $249ea to match my 18x10+24's.
18x9

18x10

My old setup was 18x9.5+30 and 18x9.5+12 cr kai's with 225 F and 235 R, but I want to run more rubber with my single so im going to more conservative offsets so i can fit 235F and 255R. Probably gonna try the 595RS on this set.

Old setup, i loved the emos but i have also loved sp1's for a long time.

9" +37 and 10" +24 is still aggressive. that leaves you with with a full inch of backspacing that you could be using for bigger tires

WTF tirerack told me they couldnt get those anymore! Bastards!

Good choice.

DriftDreamzSS 09-27-07 04:52 PM

Ya, im running rolled fenders and a slight pull in the rear but i do understand its alot more aggressive than what most people recommend. Tire rack has a few 18x10+37 left that im thinking of picking up a pair for the rear incase i wanna run 275's

Ya, they can be a pain in the ass sometimes. If you call and tell them you have a 350z they will sometimes have better sizes to offer you. I talked to a really cool guy that was willing to get me sizes other than what they recommend for factory style fit. Here is a copy of the e-mail he sent me last week about their remaining supply of decent size sp1's and prices.

I figured some of you guys would be interested in the 18x9.5+43 or 18x10+49 since those are more standard for FD. Oh ya, i only asked about 18's but I know they do have 17x8.5+30 and 17x8.5+35 on clearance sale for $189 and $199 also, listed under 350z if you use the website

HOLY HELL OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is dirt fugging cheap!!

RISEN 10-15-07 06:47 PM

Are these prices real? I thought SP1s were like $500+ per wheel??

DriftDreamzSS 10-19-07 11:16 AM

they are $500+ from tanabe. Those prices are just for what tire rack has left.

7syawedis 10-19-07 12:26 PM

damn any lower offsets like below 20?? my god im going there now

still got those +12 cr's i could use that pair? :)

DriftDreamzSS 10-19-07 03:11 PM

Nope, no lower offset ones. The S chasis guys cleaned out all those I think. I actually dont have the cr's anymore but im thinking of picking up another set for track spares or some 57max's.

7syawedis 10-19-07 08:58 PM

im getting some too just keeping an eye out for some used ones cheaper if i can. :lol: i have some 17x9s up front so far

i still cant even get the offset i want on tire rack only search by car, i forgot thats why i hate that damn site so much. it just gives you a bunch of 8 inch wide 40 offset crap.

apex_7 10-21-07 01:28 PM

Nice. Do you have any pictures of your car with these wheels?

That is with stock camber settings, and 225 front and 245 rear. I will be running 235 and 255 federal 595rs, when the car is closer to being track ready. I dot know why the front pic looks like positive camber, its not tho.

Turbo23 01-21-08 03:51 PM

yes Please get some suspension mods! Looks like its going off roading! Sexy wheels, good looking car!

DriftDreamzSS 01-21-08 03:57 PM
