what did you have to modify on your FD to run those 18x10 wheels in front?
im thinking about trading a guy wheels with the same spec as your front ones,
but not sure if it will fit right. i know you may say just try them on, but i have to drive 2hrs to do the trade haha
thanks

I disagree with everything except the Continentals lol. That looks like proper fitment to me. That's how i like a tire to fit on a rim. No stretch needed. It would look better on a white car of course :P

Seriously? These wheels are the bomb. They really need to get those to market soon. Wonder if they'll be showing them at SEMA this year? Couldn't make out the centercap and it definitely didn't look ISS to me. Lucky bastard!

They remind me of panasport G7's

I really like wide, non-stretched tires on FD's

They are from the new Blonix Series from ISS Forged thats why the cap is different...wheels made for true tuners

The 3 wheels that i used to design that wheel was Nismo GT2-LM, Panasport G7, and the Oz Pegasus

Wheels are already available, check out the ISS Forged website for more info

I like the wide tires also but what kills me is how are guys not destroying there rims on pot holes these days. I chipped a chrome rims and never curbed or hit anything significant. There is no protection for the rim with some of these setups.

ust a quick question for people who have experience in this. Ordering a set of Work Meister S1 3 piece wheels, as some may know they came in A, O disk etc.

Will these offsets fit with only rolled guards?

18x8.5 + 29 A disk - 71mm of lip
18x9.5 + 24 O disk - 93mm of lip

Cheers!

Disk type has nothing to do with fender to wheel fitment, it only affects brakes clearance and the outer/inner barrel (lip) sizes.

To answer your question, YES they'll fit.

If you didn't order already, I suggest you to go with more aggressive sizes and offsets
