I test fitted my brothers wheels today ...



18x10 -5 on his rear to my rear ..... and in order to have those work I will need to grind down the fender and take out the prerolled lip out ... + pull ALOT ! 15-20 at least .... + I just got my new paint job ?? Sheet

Over all It is hanging out of the car about 2.5 inches ...

usually with the rims I have 265/30/19 19x10 with +43 offset when My psi is at 25 i am cambered and dumbed on the ground ...

With the car at 87 psi its the lowest I can go with a 235 tire on the wheel
( 18 ) No where near flush or cambered ... just test fitting


Might need a 225 for the rear to get Nice and snug on a 10 inch wheel.. for the rear but talk about a bad ride ;(





BLAH Pictures to come my friend took the camera home .. hope he uploads


I was really looking forward to having spacers on the car but its 31 mm to have it flush just for the rear ... No way for these wheels ...


I did the math and spoke with some of the vendors from another thread and it looked like the 19x9 with -2 front would fit perfectly ..for the front with Jp fenders.. maybe with the 5mm spacer might throw things off though ...


I might just leave these for now until I see a pair of wheels like antbos old wheels with same offset

+ having to add bumps stops to Not dump all the way ...

Post pics of your flushness !! I need to see if its worthed for me lol



Currently sunken as a ship, The upside is I can turn the wheel fully and Not touch tire at all on fender..

 

flush on Leon Hardiritt ordens





flush on Kranze LXZ



flush on Veilside Andrew

 

Flush on euroline DH


flush on work XD-9

i can keep going....its not that hard

all cars are on coilovers in all pictures

 

My rears are pretty flush, the fronts need to go out another 10mm or so...

 

*cough* ikeya *cough* tony

 

Tsuraichi FTW!!!!!

 

just buy new wheels and have it anyway you like them

 

^^ lookin' good tony!

 

you better swap them wheels out soon cuz mother nature is about to make it rain on them hoes

 

Rule of thumb is fitment first, this way any other modification can be altered before painting.

 

Agreed... I built my car around the wheels.

I used spacers with the old wheels to set them where I wanted.
Stretched, pulled and cut fenders to fit.
Painted car.
Calulated the effective offsets, adjusted for wider width and made the new wheels to this spec.

 

Here's a pic with the suspension up.


And here's when it's down.


Oh yeah, rear spacers wasn't on.

 

Awesome contrast! Really shows the difference @ about stock height
versus being slammed... Once you understand the dynamics of suspension
travel, you can better understand why this occurs.

P, looks like the bumper was on but not painted yet in those pics...

 

actually i think poy is done

Yeah, those were pics when I was test fitting the kit and fitting the wheels. I knew I had to do all of these steps first before painting. And I'm glad I did, since I had to pull the rear quarter panel about 7mm to fit the wheels w/ the spacers.
