White on blue always looks great

 

indeed it does, that was your best setup too tilt

 

Well I agree it definately isnt average..

With that setup the grip limit will be low I can assure you.

 

Lol...save your breath bro, it's not worth it.

 

Wait until you see proper pics of the takata CE's, if they end up staying on the 8 lol

LargeOrangeFont: I don't think NoPistons! is going for a grip setup at all, his tires sizes are only to make the wheels fit. The fact that he lists r888 and rt615's in the same category does say volumes though...

NoPistons!: You're doing the whole stretched fitment thing and it'll look really good rolling with your ride height. Don't try to kid yourself that you'll have any considerable grip with this style of fitment though.

 

lol grips overatted haha thats what my rx8 was for :[

 

17x10 FN01rc +12 offset. Suspension: Koni Yellows w/ AWR Coilover Spring perches/Swift springs....

 

Hope this works. I suck @ posting pics....

 

what size tires?

 

Front 17x8 +28, Rear 17x9 +29. No spacers, on BC N-06 Coilovers. Front fenders needed small roll.

 

255/40-17"s all around

 

You should be fine with a bit of a fender roll, maybe even a bit of a pull if need be.

 

Trots, i know i'm fine. I wanted to post so others could see/ determine if they would want to do the same. The fender has been significantly pulled! LOL!

Without over-fenders? How does it fit wit 10x17 up front? Pictures?

 

Uh, well, I'm running 17x10 +12 in the REAR. I've posted two picks above that shows fitment. I've only flared the rear wheel arches.

For the front, I'm running 17x9 +15 in the FRONT. I have Cork Sport overfenders that I've modified a bit...



Best pic for now....

 

possible to fit 15x12's in the rear? what offset? spacers?
and yes, i'll have wide fenders

 

How wide? That's a very important bit of information!

 

I didn't sadly, it was stupid close though, like the locking collar had to be turned to the right bit so the wheel cleared.

The wheels on Page 179 are a temporary measure. They are Origin DNA02. They don't look right in white against the FC but I've kept them white as they are used on my Silvia drift car.

New rear wheels went on without too much bother -

Fronts - Origin DNA02 - 17x9.5 +15 - 225/45
Rears - SSR Professor SP1 - 18x11j +16 - 255/35









Front SSR should be on in a couple of weeks - 17x9 +14 - 215/40. 9.5s are a bit too big for the front of an FC I think.

I think I can lower the car 15mm all around once the new fronts are on. COOL.

 

******* beautiful!

 

tire width? i'm not sure, i guess whatever would fit is what i'll go with. the wheels will be 12' wide.

 

I'm talking about the width of the overfenders

 

What's a flush offset for the front? +25?

 

ohh duh, sorry about that

i don't have them yet but i was hoping 30mm would work, if not i'll look for a set of 50mm

 

ill have pics up of my new setup:

17x10.5 -13 Rear

17x9 +0 front

i also have 17x8 +25 front

havent decided on which front setup to run, i like being able to turn without issue, and having a good fitment up front with the 17x8 +25 , but the more aggressive 17x9 +0 looks sick, and will require a roll, and maybe a slight pull on the fenders.

ill have pics up of both front fitment's soon.

rear teaser:
(as you can see, my 1/4's are pulled 1" to keep the lip flush with the body when finished)

 

anybody??

*either 30 or 50 mm fenders, will decide when i get a recommendation on the wheel fitment.
