Noup, cause he has +15 on the rear and you are wanting to put +0, yours wheel stick out more.







And to continue with the pics, i decided to pull her out of the garage today for a bit with her new shoes lol

 

^ the front's look pretty damn close... and I wouldn't be surprised if it rubbed. The rear fenders..as you can see.. are rolled pretty heavily...

 

Work Emotion CR Kais
Front 18x9.5 +20et
Rear 18x9.5 +30et

I still need to get some 5mm spacers all around.

 

18x8 fronts, ET35, 5mm spacers, 225-40-18
18x9 rears, ET35, 15mm spacers, 235-45-18

Aggressive enough for me. Need to roll the lip on the rear though.

 

Yeah I don't think that will work, you'll have to pull more than I did. I pulled about 2 inches on the rear, and the fronts weren't pulled at all because the fender flexes too much with the fender roller. I have a lead on a guy that is going to use an english wheel to see if I can get them to match the rears. I'll let you know what happens, because you'll have to do the same if you want to keep the stock fenders haha. Honestly though, you shouldn't have to spend too much time on the fronts, it's only a difference of 13mm and mine were pretty well stock still, just rolled.

But you'll still have to pull the rears about another half inch or so. It was tough enough doing mine so I can't tell you how much longer you'll be working at it. I know I went for a few hours on mine though.

Yes, the front did rub, as did the rear lol. I didn't realize how bad the rears were until I took the wheels off though.

I'll post up pics of my fourth and current setup when I take some more pics. I currently have the Shine +20mm fenders on the front, but I still want to modify the stock ones to look like the rears. I'll post pics of the current setup and post pics of the final version when it's completed.

 

Thanks^^^

I pull the trigger on some Varrstoen 1.1.2

19x10.5 +0

19x9.5 +0



I want to avoid stretching the tires too much and prefer the fattest tires i could fit with pulled fenders but what ever works. Varrstoen only had +0 offset in stock until a couple months from now and i didn't want to wait for the +22 offset which would of been better.

My car is black and i'm going to powder coat them some kind of dark red.

 

You do realize youll have to roll and pull the **** out of your fenders all around right? i hope you also have coilovers lol, post pics whenever you can im curious to see 0 offset all around

 

Yes i know. I like the way FDs look with OEM pulled/flared fenders like how speedjunkie car is setup. The rear shouldn't be that hard to modify but i might need to do more custom work to the front fenders bc there too flimsy for the fender roller to work on it.

I won't have them for another week bc there getting machine to 67.1 hub bore. I'm also getting my car re painted so i don't have to be careful with the roller since everything is getting painted anyways. I'm literally searching for coilovers right now but on a tight budget(less then 900 for coilovers) since i just picked up these wheels.

 

Yeah the fender roller just makes the fender flex back and forth, totally useless if you're trying to flare it haha. I'll let you guys know if the guy can use the english wheel and how they turn out. It'll be pretty pricy though. The guy that's supposed to do it used to do body work for the Ferrari F1 team lol. I might even go ahead and see if he wants to redo my rear fenders to see how good they can get haha.

 

A lot of people says the same thing about the front fenders, but if the guy that you have them done with, uses the heat gun and takes his time to roll/pull the fronts, he wont have a problem. Cause i got mine done and didnt mess my fenders, about the rears. If you want something like speedjunkie, just like he said... Its going to take a couple hrs to get them done, i have mine rolled and pulled like his, but mine were only pulled 1.5" if im not wrong wich it looks like half of what speedjunkie has, and the guy that did them took like 1hr per fender.

About the coilover, if you say you have around 900 to play with. Why dont you get the Ksport kontrol pro? they are under the 900s, i have them and im pretty happy with them. After i got them i got my old 19" wheels and the ride felt pretty comfty

 

Contact bryan at rx7 boutique and hell most likely have a pretty descent selection of coilovers for that price.

 

i decided to wait for the +22's...I just preordered a set of 112's +22.
we should do a side-by-side comparasion of the two offsets. what widebody do u have? im widebody also.

 

Yah, i was at there Southern CA warehouse and it's empty.

Right now i have stock body but just order, mazdaspeed front/sides and origin front 20mm/rear 50mm fenders.

I was going to keep it stock but the wheels gave me a excuse to go widebody.

 

hey check this out

for all the guys that want a quick cheap solution for wheels, heres another option

EVO X stock wheels...im using these to roll around on while im refinishing my Volks...they fit great (could use a 5mm spacer in the rear) and they look awesome!!

the tire size is 245/40/18 all around...and i have a sneaking suspicion that the mazda center caps can fit in these wheels but i didnt have any try

also tried them on my boss's FD that has stock fenders and they clear with no rub in the rear but in the front that little tab that holds the fender liner needs to get pushed up and flattened

oh and just in case someone asks...my car is pulled over with the hood up cus yesterday the car was getting hot and i realized that on of my rad fans stopped working =( so i had to let her cool off a bit and wait for traffic to die down so i could cruise home

 

Lovin the way this is sitting,SICK!!!!

 

best one yet !

 

12's in the rear...shhhh, its our secret

 

STANCE NATION, the most wheel gap you'll see covered by them...

rspecfd,

You need your own pic thread or build thread. Love your car.

 

The wheels don't have any markings on them saying the offset. So i attempt to measure them and wanted everyone's opinion if the offset sounds right when looking at the picture.

19x9 +6??? 235/35/19

VVVV

 

I like the fitment on the front! Looks good! Mostly likely will rub though haha.

 

Just use a skinnier tire so it stretches and you should be fine..

 

I attempted to flare the front to make them some what like the rears. I won't be running fender liners so i use the inner lip of the fender as the extra material i needed to make the flare. I think it was a good idea looks good once i smooth it out, all i use was some pliers to pull the metal and hammer the metal against the tires so i won't have to use too much body filler.

I got about +18mm out of it and this is with metal fenders too.

AFTER

 

2 more....

 

Interesting idea. So you flipped the inner lip outward?
