Fitted my new rpf1's the other day. Pretty tight, but I think I'm at where I wanna be right now.

255/35/18 10.5 et15
15mm spacer out back

 

That is perfect Stickboie!!!

How much fender rolling and pulling has been done?

 

These cars look so good on RPF1's.

 

nothing to crazy. the front is just rolled, and the rear maybe pulled about an inch maybe inch and a half.

 

Yep, RPF1s are perfect on FDs, especially with that fitment. Mmmmm

 

Veilside Andrew Racing.

19x12 (rear) and 19x10 (front)

 

dear god i just peed a little, beautiful fd. wheels fit perfect, any engine bay upgrades/pictures?

 

Rear wheel looks small. If these are 19, I'd say I clould take 22" with a slightly taller tire.

 

So I still gotta lower her a bit but here is my new setup
Cosmis Racing xt-206r's 18x9 +33 in black chrome all the way around on hankook evos vetnus v12s 225/40

 

 

You plan on squeezing those on the stock body?

 

Eurou front fenders are on order!

I'm wanting to keep the rear fenders mostly stock in shape, though I realize they will have to be pulled some. Going to test fit them soon before body mods, at which time I'll post up a couple more pics. Will be interesting to see how far they'll stick out on stock body. (*Coilovers are Blitz ZZ-R Type-C w/ External reservoirs)

 

I thought about duallies to work around some class rules, but kinda ruled it out based on looks alone.

But go for it dude












jk

 

Hahha - Next mods after Dually conversion: Dolphin-tail R.E. Amemiya Smoke stacks and Cummins Turbo Diesel swap!

 

 

Do you all know why best sports car makers in the world do not make or run such wheel and tire combos like that REVLUC, they are not young and stupid!

 

Check out the official Scion FR-S concept car's wheel/tire setup. Why did the concept car look so much better than the final edition FR-S?..

...Well, there are several reasons, but it boils down to auto manufacturers having to make certain 'compromises'.
In line with your thinking, maybe all RX-7's should only be allowed to use factory wheels and tires? To modify is to deviate from what the company intended!

To say it's unfunctional is another argument. Mad Mikes MADBUL FD rim/tire setup has massive stretch which he beats on professionally.
It handles the power, and provides the look he wants. This is also why your possible argument is invalid.

I hope you have an amazing life, and all your dreams come true, cewrx7r1. It might be in your best interest to tone down the negativity.
(Improper use of grammar and punctuation is a better tell of stupidity, imo.)

Car modifying exists and is fun because each person can express their own individual tastes and creativity on multiple levels. Sometimes this creativity inspires others, atleast to do what they want, not just listen to what "the masses" deem acceptable. For instance, 3-Rotor swaps inspired the later idea to create a 4-Rotor swapped FD; was that "car maker approved?"

2.5" further drop and StopTech's coming soon.

Total agreement with you on this point REVLUC. I run Work Meister 3 piece wheels in 18-inch and am well aware of the penalty I pay in heavy unsprung weight, but I'm not a track junkie, so for me, it's about personal preference and the "look" I'm trying to achieve. At some point I may go with uber-lightweight wheels, but for now I haven't found anything I like better.

 

Great response REV. To each their own

 

The butthurt is strong.

 

you'll definitely be able to run less stretch once your fenders are rolled! The dislike 19s and 20s on FD because the car's body is already so damn high even after you slam it, a 245/35/18 (24.8"OD) lets you go a full inch lower than a 245/30/20 (25.8"OD). Sidewall on the 245/30/20 is a tad shorter though, so you're given the opportunity to tuck more of the tire (at least the appearance of) without rubbing at full lock.

However 24.8-25in OD tires (like 245/35 - 255/35 - 285/30 - 295/30) are already a pita when it comes to wheel well clearance when turning the steering from lock to lock. They hit so many places under the car even with an aggressive offset...

anyway, here's my new setup. 18x10.5+5 (245/35) and 18x12.5-8 (295/35). I might change to 255/35 and 315/30 R888s depending on how they'll fit on the car.

 

Love when people comes to trash a thread or someone's post the dissappear lol.


Wish I had anything to post but I'm not cool enough

 

Come on Dee, don't talk about it, BE ABOUT IT! Let's see these on the car already haha. I'm curious to see what they look like.

I have something in the works regarding new wheels, but I'm waiting to finish some other mods and waiting for more funds lol.

 

lol You have a long wait there with Chase Eric

 

Thanks I feel like......
