too ******* sick man. i love.

 

Keep the pics coming!

 

A few teaser pics. Don't mind the ride height it is on jacks.







Wheels are Weds Sport SA-55M 18x10 +18 all around. Tires are 255/35/18 and 265/35/18

 

Specs?

car has stance coilovers and superpro bushings. I live right next to touge factory (guys who make the stance coilovers) so ive been talking to them about how to get the car lower, it seems that the back of the fd just doesn't want to go as low as I would like.

also might be getting 18x10 25 in the front still haven't decided. Have to see how it will look.

 

Which model stance's do you have, and how low are you able to get the rear? I'm considering going with Stance GR+, but now I'm concerned they might not have enough adjustment.

 

are you doing a pull on the rear fenders or just an aggressive roll to make thoes rear rims with 265s fit? reason i ask is cause im looking at some 18x10 +25 for the rear as well

 

I have 18x10 +18 in the rear running 265's. You can get away with just a roll and a degree or two of camber.

 

great. thanks.

 

Got any pics of a good flush side view?

 

Not yet, car just went to paint. I'll post em up when she's done.

 

so im stuck between an origin stylish kit and a Bn kit (non widebody)
but ive heard the bn from chaser has not so good fitment..
anyways i was wondering what you guys think cuz im kinda 50/50 at the moment thanks for any input!
also if you have pics of either kit especially the origin stylish post up!

 

i have the gr+, togue factory told me to order some helper springs and it will help my car go lower. I can get the rear just to the point where the fender is right on top of the tire.

 

Interesting how does that help? Do you increase the preload to compress the spring, then bring up the bottum of the damper and use the helper spring to reduce bouncyness from the preload?

 

I have no idea how it will help, I trust the guys at togue factory so I will order a set of helper springs in the rear and see what happens. Ill let everyone know the results as soon as I know. To me it seems like it might increase ride height but we will see.

 

Could anyone help me out here, i have on hold a good deal for some wheels but before i buy them i wanna make sure how much of a roll/pull would i need to do since the wheels are not local. wheels specs are 18x10.5 +20 all around.

Thank you guys appreciate it

 

That's gonna be real tough in the front without over fenders. I'm running 18x10 +18 in the front with FEED fenders which are supposedly 25mm wider and it's still a really tight fit. In the rear you should be ok with a nice pull.

 

what RXtacy said,
plus I just don't think 20s will look good on an rx7, its a small car. 19s are almost too big, check out curacaosfinest, his car shows what 19s are like, he barely has any tire, you'll probably have to get your speedo adjusted

 

He was talking about 18's. 20 was the offset.

 

derp, dunno how I screwed that one up.

you'll need somewhere between 1.5 and 2 inches of extra clearance up front for that and an inch in back.

oh, and you'll have an inch clearance or so on the inside, so at full lock you might have rubbing issues on the spring

 

Yea i figured 10.5 for the front was going to be a lot and im wanting to stay with stock fenders, this guy says he can get swap me a pair of the 10.5 for some 9s all im waiting for right now is for him to tell me what are the offsets on the 18x9


lol yea i meant 18x10.5 +20 right now my setup is 19x9.5 +35 all around, the front is really flush, the rear still has like 10mm gap. But i just got my rear fenders pulled a bit with a flare so i can fit a bit bigger ones and maybe throw some spacers with studs since its easier than replacing the studs lol



this is how my current setup looks

 

I think somewhere around 18x9 +20-25 should work well for you in the front.

 

Sweet! ill keep that in mind and ill let you know once he tells me the offsets for the 9s to see if theyll still work

 

So he says that the 18x9 come in +25 and +35, so you think i should go with 18x9+35 fronts and 18x10.5+20 rears?

 

It depends. Do you like the way your wheels fit now? If you do the 18x9 +25 will be closer to how your current wheels fit. They will still be about a quarter inch more pulled in. I don't think the +35 will give you the look you want. They will be a 1/2 inch further in then your current setup. If you are ok with doing a flare on the rear the 18x10.5 +20 will look great. The nice thing about flaring is you can match it perfectly to the wheel.
