JESUS!!!


i have been looking at them pics for the last 3 hours, lol.

 

haha, actually i think that's the 1st FULL pic of your car... and yeah, it's pretty amazing if i do say so myself... it'll be hard to talk them off... hahahaaaaaa

 

it definitely took the guess work out of it. i can be hella confident in the fitment of the wheel now. its just up to getting the wheels, but i think i am sold on the color... so i think whatever wheels i get may get the green treatment lol.

 

yeahman! can't wait to get my car outta paint and have a little photo shoot... green/white white/green...lol

 

BRILLIANT!!!!!


that didnt even cross my mind...... you my friend are a winner.



p.s. sounds like wreckedmagazine material....*hint hint* lol.

 

Those TE37s look amazing. Justin how did you get the most contact patch out of your tires for drifting?

 

check the new thread... there's already a bunch of input in there...

Are those wheels the TE 37's?
or the replicas??
Just thought i'd ask..

 

Looks like I'm on my own.
I'll just get the 205s since I know they'll fit.

 

You don't pay $2500 for replicas.

 

Thanks man.

 

Alright, I think I'm ready to buy rims. I do not want to modify the body at all. This is what I've put together so far after looking through this topic a couple times.

Front: 17x8 with an offset between 25 and 35 and a 225/45/17 tire
Rear: 17x9 with an offset between 15 and 40 and a 255/40/17 tire

I have a loose understanding of offset at this point.

If I had to choose between a 35 and a 15 offset on the rear, which one is better?

I can get the front in a 25 or 35, which would be the better choice?

Thanks in advance.

 

25 front, 35 rear + 10mm spacer. If you chose 15 you would have to roll the rear fender lips and/or use camber to tuck the tire

 

hey jtp.

can you give him a white s5 rear bumper?

thanks

 

how about no. its a s4, and my bumper will stay s4.

 

OK this is my final number crunch.

front 17x8 25mm 235/40-17's
rear 17x9 37mm 235/40-17's

 

My bad. Where's the edit button?

Make that,,,,,

front 17x8 25mm 235/40-17's
rear 17x9 37mm 255/40-17's

 

My (limited) experience fitting wheels provides this advice...

Front: tried 17 x 8, +20 offset with 235/45/17 tires and they stuck out about 1/2" too far. Rolling the fender allowed the tire to clear but they still looked funny (to me, at least).

Rear: Same 17 x 8, +20 with 235/45 tires...almost perfect. Very flush fitment with no clearance issues. Could probably have gone with a 255 if I wanted.

Currently running 17 x 8, +30 offset w/ 235/45 tires.
Very good front fit, rear could use a bit less offset but not bad.

A note about the +30 front wheels...steering response markedly improved.
Can't say how much was due to tire brand and how much was the change in track, but there was a noticeable change for the better.
Much less oversteer and crisper initial turn in (I have a manual rack, if it matters).

When I first bought the +20 wheels, the rears had 275/40 tires mounted and I ran them for about a week. The tires stuck out a bit too far but looked totally bitchin'.
Unfortunately, my wheezy NA took a definite performance hit with such a heavy/wide rear tire...acceleration suffered.

If you're primarily interested in the look, staggered tire sizes are the way to go.
Performance-wise, I think smaller same size tires actually work better- and you can rotate them.

 

the rest of the car disagrees with that statement...............

 

Could I fit 17x10 +20 all around...possible wide body front fender? Here are the wheels im planning on getting on a an s13

 

Thats my car....lol.... they will fit perfect with a front pull and a rear roll/small pull. You'll have to run a 215 40 up front and a 225 40 max tire for the rear. It would look amazing though. You'll have to play with camber settings.

This is razmus fc. he runs a 17x9 +0 all around. A 17x 10 +20 will be sunken in -7 degress.

 

Hi guys!

What are the wheels in post #4251 and #4252? Standstill picture of car in #4252?

Thanks
Dennis

 

I can get a fair priced set of Borbet B's in 17x8.5 +13mm. I'd like to run 225/45 tires on stock style suspension.
I know they'll clear the front struts and the rear will fit fine too, but can I get away with a fender roll in the front or is it gonna need a pull? I can dial in a little bit of extra neg camber (limited though, camber bolts). Will it work?

 

Front- 17x8 in 225/45/17

Rear- 17x9 in 255/45/17

on tanabe gf210 springs clears with minor fender rolling





if you like or dont like what you see check out my build up thread in my SIG and comment please : )

 

fix your rear camber!! thats way too much- makes the handling wonky

otherwise- looks outstanding
