Super Low Disk: 5/98~5/130,4/98~4/114.3
Normal Disk: 5/98~5/130,4/98~4/114.3
Medium Disk: 5/98~5/130
Hyper Disk: 5/98~5/130

I'm not sure what the difference between the above "disks" are.

If I could understand what that meant, I could decide what lip sizes I want in the wheel linked below: (In 18x9/18x10)

For instance, they have a 18x10+49 with 59mm lip, or 18x10+49 with 72mm lip, but in "Super Low Disk", versus "Normal Disk"

Keep in mind these wheels are just for looks, I have a set of 17s for track use.

Any ideas?

Basically, 'low discs' offer a deeper lip, at the expense of brake caliper clearance. Conversely, 'hi-pad' discs offer more caliper clearance, but at the expense of lip depth.

For the SSR SP1 Professors, apparently D_Cups has established that the SL discs can clear the stock front calipers, affording the deepest lip possible (at least for the SP1s) May not translate to the MS1s though.

Post # 114 shows that his front wheels are 'SL'

With the offsets available in the link above, which would be preferable in 18x9/18x10?

I suppose tire sizes would be 255/35 and 285/30.

I wonder if Super Low disc will fit in the rear..

Anyone?

if super low clears front brakes, then it will clear rear

Neo,

Basically with stock FD brakes you'll most likely want to run

NORMAL DISK FRONT

SUPER LOW DISK REAR

Find relative widths and offsets closest to your ideal fitment.

This is what you would get for standard fitment:

18x9 +49 NR disk (40mm lip)
18x10 +49 SL Disk (66mm lip)

Do you have a hookup on these? Let me know i'll take care of you.

Now this is assuming you run a grip setup like 255/35 and 285/30

If you do the drifter stretch, camber and roll then we can definitely maximize your lip depth.

Rishie,
What do those weigh in a 18x9 & 18x10?

ARD T2

I would think approx 25-30lbs per wheel based on the last set I got in.

The 18x9 was 29lbs with box so figure about 25lbs for that and maybe 27 for the 10".

Not light.

Thanks a lot. I'll let you know. I just bought a house and I was more curious than anything else. These are on my shopping list though.

I'm picking up another FC so most likely my Work VS-XXes will move onto that eventually, so yeah, I'll probably get MS1s to replace them.

The mortgage crisis is a good thing. It made it so I could afford one.

Well, plus I sold all my RX-7s and sold $20k worth of my video game collection. That was sad.

oh man, wow. Ya i'm trying to do the same thng. Sell off my 16 car collection so i can fund a house.

Funny how you do things totally backwards when you're a young one.

Any idea if I'll need to get aftermarket toe or trailing arms to fit them?

Ya i would suggest it in the rear just to be safe. Comes down to tire flex.

I know that with 18x10 +52 and 285/30/18 that it was a definite suggestion.
