Omochi's FD - 17x9 +17 225/45
We test fitted some of my CR Kais on Daryls car (omochi)
17x9 +17 with 225/45 tires
front and rear
looks good, i think a +15 or +10 will fit real nice
has -2 camber rear
has about -1 camber up front
the front will fit real good with -2.5 / -3 camber for suuure
i think better sized tires like 215s will fit real nice and can allow less front camber if u like
these were fitted for gangster daily driving, cr kais are NOT gangster but are ur basic wheels, i hope he buys my Advan RGs 17x9.5 +24
the 9.5s fit PERFECT up front the rear could use a 15-20mm spacer
run 235 front and 255 rear for tires on those RG's tires
i have no tires on the RGs so we didnt take any pics
he still has his enkeis for track but we got a good idea of what can be done
FD's can fit lots of wheel and a good offset, iunno why u guys insist on not running cool ****. all we plan to do is roll the rear and keep it stockish body
flush rims, slammed, full purpose look gangster on the daily and then for track attack hes got higher offset rims with fat rubbers
pics:
ya i know kumhos look ugly n **** **** it
gunna slam it on jams when he gets some coils
will be pimp with my RGs on this rig, gunna vie for the best lookin FD aroudn hahaha and thats sad cause its only gunna be low with nice wheels HAHA
PS BAD angle on the front, its not at all mexican, the rim sticks out about 5mm, so a degree of camber will line it up to the ****

Whatever floats your boat. I think stretched tires and wheels sticking out past the fenders looks stupid. I wouldn't call that "fitting". Besides, in most places it's illegal to have the tires or wheels out past the fenders.

sorry no other shots
i let daryl take the pics he wanted of his car
they dont stick out past the fenderts
its the shots that make it look like that
emos are alright, basic wheels and they do the job of being good spares and look decent
i think sunk in wheels looks gay
a proper fitted wheel with fat tires looks the **** too
daryl has some rims with fat tires before and they make it look mean too on another level

Those wheels do not fit at all...They stick out past the fenders, and your running no bigger tire than you can run on a stock wheel, and smaller in the front. There is no point in buying wheels to stretch, if your going to go bigger, get some offsets where you can fit some rubber under them. They dont look to bad from that rear view, but very unfunctional...

ok it seems u rx7 owners have a problem with reading
the shots that were taken, THEY DONT STICK OUT PAST THE FENDERS
we did this to test fit for DAILY fitment, these are NOT FOR RACE
i said he has his higher offset wheels with FAT rubber
and for the millionth time, its not how much rubber u have, its how much power u have and what the restraints are for that rubber running a 295 on a car that makes 200hp is retarded
i know FD's make what 255 stock ... u know what... just read what i wrote and maybe your ADD wont kick in right away...
only reason 225s are on there is thats cause they are my wheels and tires and thats what was on them at the time, i drive a s13 with like 200hp they do me just fine

strike up the paean
hi
he said before its only the pics and angle that make it look like that.
and he's saying its pointless to run super big rubber if are not or you don't plan on making more power.
at any rate, i think they stick out a bit too much too. flushness is relative to who is looking at it though, so whatever.

they do not fit. they stick out past the fender. there is NO POINT in upgrading your wheels to something wider if you're not running wider rubber. tire stretching to fit a wheel with the wrong offsets is just a waste of money.
no matter how many times you say "it's the way the pics were taken!" you're still wrong. There are at least 3 pics of there that we can see the wheels outside the fender line.

dood
i own 16 wheels
does it look like i give a **** if i buy rims to just stretch tires?
its the look we like
these are for his daily driving, its a look that he likes as well as i do.
his track wheels are high offset and with FAT rubber
do u know how to read?
its not like u only have to own one set of wheels
they are there for style just as much as performance
whats wrogn with looking nice (own views, yours dont agree with mine)
the whole purpose of me posting these pics was soley to show those who are on here that this is what this size and offset looks like on a fd
if you like stretched tires and low offset rims this fits stock body
i come from a background where we roll and flare stock body and add camber for performance just as much as for looks, u gotta find ur balance
i agree the front does stick out - LIKE I SAID IN THE FIRST POST, i said u add camber to fix that, **** man Rx7 owners have a massive reading disorder its like 5mm, for every 5mm a degree of camber adds or subtracts
my definition of flush is rim to 1/4 panel or fender, NOT tire edge
when u slam a car and the rim is in line with the fender, thats the style i like
having rim to 1/4 panel flsuh on a non slammed car looks retarded
we are doing a ruff fit cause hes getting coilovers and will adjust his height to his preference
its that simple, im not saying YOU MUST DO THIS, thats retarded to try and adjust ppls styles of fitment
just dont go telling me they dont fit - all relative to pref
and a 225 is legit on a 9wide wheel look at the tire manufacturers specs
i like 215s on my 9s, these 225s were cheap
i drift, and for my power and balance of my suspension, i love them and how they react
in fact running my 215s in front and 245s out back wheni was doign some auto x my car was very neutral with a slight bit of understeer.
try new stuff before u mock the **** out of it u ignorant monkey
hugs n kisses baby

This guy tries a different offset/tire size than you're used to that he happens to like and is happy with and you guys call it stupidity and tell him it's a waste of money?
By that logic every single person on this forum running any part that doesn't offer performance enhancement is stupid and is wasting their money. 99-Spec front end conversions, tail lights, wings (most, not all), aero kits (most, not all), etc are all stupid and are wasted money?
He already said that they're just for cruising and not for track use. Who cares if he doesn't have optimum performance on a set of wheels that are used for daily driving? You shouldn't be racing on the street anyway, so as long as he puts the track wheels on when he goes to the track, it's all gravy.
I think low offset wheels with stretched tires looks good as long as it isn't taken too far.
Example - too stretched

right intention, wrong approach. :o good job chris. lol.
in any case, to reiterate, it was merely for test fitting purposes. i'm looking to get a more aggressive fitting wheel for street use because i just absolutely hate the way my RPF1s sit aesthetically. yes i do realize the fronts stick out and no i wouldnt run them as such. however the rear sits pretty nice imo, and i could probably run a wider tire in the back too. oh well. we'll see. nothing to get your panties worked up in a bunch.

thought he was just talkin about the 1/4s, ppl call 1/4s fenders all the time
the fornt shot wasnt taken good either but it sticks out 5mm like i said in the first ****** post, then i said camber fixs this, 1 degree and it would be fine
reading problems again?
