Now what is this: Everyone has an opinion. I'm glad you're happy with your wheels, and in your opinion you have perfect fitment.

I personally think 19s are just too big on an FD, a local guy has some Infiniti G37 wheels on his FD and when he pulled into the parking lot at a meet I thought they looked..... too big. Different strokes for different folks man, you're not going to convince anyone based on those 'lowered' pics.

What brand tires did you end up going with? I'm not sure if you posted it yet or not.

 

mehhhh... nice wheels.. not for me.. but the car isn't lowered.. that thing is riding high.... like really high... especially in the rear.

I'm never really the guy to hate or anything but you do realize your on an fd3 forum right?....supraman haha jkjk

 

True


Yea you are not rubbing cause the car is still high. I used to own 19s and i did lower the car as much as i could and it still looked high, at least from the front.
Here are a couple of pics so you can get the idea on how low you could go with 19's

 

Well that is your opinion......I do like your wheels if that is the picture of your car. Most 18's look too small to me. Yours are fine though with the larger lip. And since it is lowered, to me....it does look much better. I went with Nexen tires, not the best but pretty affordable.

 

Yeah I know.....I have a 98 Supra too, I try to keep the same names for all the forums I go to.....easier to remember those and passwords!

 

You actually drive that car that low?? I like the wheels but that is just too low for me. It looks cool but I am sure going down the road could be a challenge.

 

Lol not anymore, i used to yes and it wasnt bad (coilovers) but i got tired of the 19s and also got tired the red color so this is how i drive now


18s and Grey Galaxy pearl

 

This is perfect

even while tucking tires on 18', the FD is still kinda high.

 

Some shots of my setup from a few different angles...... car could go a bit lower but I need to adjust my exhaust to gain more ground clearance.

Fikse Profil5 (~20lbs each) Michelin Pilot Super Sport (~25lbs each)
18x9.5 +38 with 255/35 front
18x10 +32 with 265/35 rear
-1.5 degrees camber f/r

These tires are very streetable--quiet and soak up bumps very well. Grip is good, but not up to par of say a Yoko AD08. They're great tires, but when I was ripping through the Dragon with them I was wishing I had AD08/Star Spec/RE11.

 

Thanks

I lowered the rear a bit more and the front looks higher than what really is in that pic. But couldnt lower it more cause then the car would never leave the driveway

 

would you happen to know the height your front and rear arches are sitting at ?

 

Front 23.5"
Rear 24.5"

 

cool thanks man! People should post these more often ahaha

 

lol true.

For what i remember of some of your last pics yours should be around the same or lower huh?

 

yeah my front is 23'' and rear is currently at 24 but once I switch to 18x13 on 295/30 I'll be able to go 23.4''. Still i think the car is too high and there's no way it can go lower without destroying front fenders and hitting tubs. My FEED skirts are around 3'' from ground

 

Looks very good as usual Is there any reason why you choose 255/35 over 235/40? 235/40 has almost same diameter as 265/35 but 255/35 has smaller diameter. 235 may look a little stretched though.

 

Looks awesome Rich! Kinda makes me wish I'd left mine more stock bodied. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to buy another one and keep it that way haha.

Jose, I like yours too, looks mean!

 

Yea my side steps are around that, i can barely slide the stupid low pro jack under lol I had the all 4 arches at 23" but as soon as i drove out not even on 3rd gear bunch of smoke started coming out from the rears from the tires rubbing against the edge of the fender

HOLLY ****!!! you are going x13????? thats crazy !!! but if you do, why dont you wait till idk, lets say may-june so i can buy your current wheels with taxes Thats my goal, to get the damn vs-xx one day



Thanks man I would love mine to look as mean as yours tho I think mine looks too much VIP with these wheels now

 

Lol you setup looks great Jose!.. id rather something else than the big face wheels, but o well still looks dope tastic.

Cant believe you are moving to 13's Dee lol....completely gnarley. ill also be moving up in size also from 18x10.5 +15 in the rear to

18x10 -9
18x12 -13

 

hahah yes it'll be flush on both side of the wheel

love my flares but i'm jealous seeing all of you going origin/chargespeed fenders, they let you run such low offsets about an inch! I'd run 18x14 on 315 with these

*Jose get a loan and buy my rears (18x12+7) !!!! I might sell em instead of re-barreling... might cost less in the end.

 

Lol thanks dude, but im kinda getting bored with them Maybe ill powder coat them flat black, then finally get either Rmagic headlights or RE-A and GT wing


Damn dude, what wheels did you get? I thought you had some blue ones



**** i would if i could dude, but im trying to stay away from loans

 

Lol I still have my blue TE37S ,but I picked up a new setup, ill wait to post pics lol.

 

I hate you!!!
