Damn that a big lip! :eek:

super rozza's look great. theyre a bit heavy tho. lets see the full car.

I want to see these wheels like I like my bitch's; FROM THE BACK


enough will the teaser

damn! :Eyecrazy:

did u go out driving with them yet? what size tires are you running?

if u seriously don't rub, that's insane!

we demand full car pics...or I call BS=DD

no way......i call bs too or he isnt lowered......i got 9.5's with +35 and its right on the lip

i got 9.5 with +34 in the rear and not lowered and i rubbed like hell before i rolled my fenders.

I have the same size but its +45mm offset .... 3.75" lip on them With a 245/30 tire on it. And there is no rubbing what so ever.

Here are some rolling shots of my ride.

Oh yah and its slammed to the last ring on my coilovers. My buddy says that it tucks in so far when I go over a hill or bump that all you see is fender and then rim.

Question...... why would you go with a 10" wheel but put the smallest tires possible on it? I just think it looks ugly with stretched tires my 2 cents

They fit as long as he is parked!

throw some d's on that !

I love the way the rims look but yeah I would put some tires that fit on em.

Fellas im running 275 wide on the rear.

Yes i have driven on them, I actually had them on for about 3 days now actually...

Some mods had to be done to get them to fit, IE:"CNC the hub of the rear rotors and CNC the rear hub on the rims. Abount .8 of an inch was created by doing this. Fenders were also rolled and stretched. I will take good pics of the car this weekend.

I dont bs.. this aint nalin :P

ahhh i wanna see nooooww!

look at Kris' sig

i was talking about FattySpartanRx8 with the whole skinny tire. i looked at that little pic of yours and saw they weren't stretched A+ for you to make them fit properly =] now time for pics!!!!

you can!

Question...... why would you go with a 10" wheel but put the smallest tires possible on it? I just think it looks ugly with stretched tires my 2 cents

I appreciate the criticism but I prefer the stretched look... and it also made it possible to have the rims and tires without having to roll the fenders or doing any other modifications to the fenders to make them fit.

Really what it comes down to is your own likes and dislikes and I preferred to go with the stretch.

Although I must agree with you bigger tires look just as good on bigger rims.

lol rolled and pulled fender fit that size easily lol nothing special lol. your title made it sound like you are stock and runs that size.

i know subarus running 10 inch wide wheels lol all 4 corner too. just need to get it rolled, pulled, and some camber. fit anything these days.

but imo i dont even want put 275 on my rear, because it just waste more gas and spend more money on tires. we dont have that much torque to put down. but if you like it. hey it looks nice i admit. but i wouldnt do that.

Must see a rear 3/4 view...

ive had 19x10 on 275 for like 2 years now

my wheels are

rear 19x10 275 tires
front 19x8.5 245

rear 19x10 275 tires
front 19x8.5 245

What offset though? Remember im running 25 offset, which is pretty low for our cars. my last set of rims were a 34 or 35 offset on the rear and i still rubbed every now and than even with rolled fenders. I figured if im going with such an agressive offset might as well do it right the first time round. I dont want to run any camber on the car.

Oh i am not lowered "yet" i will be going for a set of Tein H Techs, the rears pretty low as is with the audio in the car so im looking for a minimal drop. ofcourse the front will be dropped an inch or so to get rid of the wheel well space.

Im shopping around for a set of springs now.

Ive got 20x10 iforged aeros in the rear for 2 years now. Had to remove a small piece of plastic towards the rear of the fender but theres no metal on tire contact from the fender. Cars not lowered in the rear because it doesnt need it with that size wheel.

ive got 19x10 in rear and 19x8.5 in front 265-30-19 rear 235-35-19 front with 25mm off set rear lowered has yet to rub and hit corners all the time.

pics!

I didnt want to post actual good pics, because I wanted to post pics from the Photographer, but heres a quick snap shot.

those are some serious lips! haha, are you still sellin your HP's?

hmm...dosent look like ur dropped?

Sam at Invision

I already bought the H-Techs from a local store. After checking the prices on the net with shipping to Canada I decided its not worth the hassle. In 2 weeks the car will be lowered.

However, i do have 100+ LBS in the trunk of audio equipment the backs are actually right over the tire. I can fit 2 fingers between the top of the wheel and the fender. So i dont want to go to much lower on the rear.

Sorry bro there long gone. A local member here on the board got them for a steal.

u might have to roll them if you lower the car....

So basically with the .8" of reduction to the hub and wheel........

Surprise...you ended up with about +40 offset....

Plus a lot of cost for the machine shop...plus weakening the hub..and possibly the rims..

Sounds like quite the deal to me ;)

The fenders are already rolled Pat.

I wanted an agressive setup, i took the necessary steps to get it done properly. I could have ran tons of camber on the car and called it a day, but i did not. Ofcourse safety was number 1 for me, i wouldnt risk ruining a perfectly good set of wheels if they were not structualy sound this to me is common sense. I dont know about you, but i sure dont have a few grand to throw around here and there ;)

So they don't come with the proper offset?

I guess then it would be worth it if thats what you want...

I hope you didn't take too much off the rotor face...

Ofcourse they come with a proper offset, but they didnt have a 5 inch lip. :)

Thanks for your feedback!

And I have my Drag tires on 19 x 10 Mayas. If I leave the car slammed when using these They do rub couse they are pretty big ( these are only for the track) But nobody gets in the car at the track exept me.

what brand are those mesh rims?

Ofcourse they come with a proper offset, but they didnt have a 5 inch lip. :)

Thanks for your feedback!

Kris

Bit sarcastic?

Just don't try and BS people that +25 offset would fit without all the machining you did.

FYI..I have 18X10.5 rims...and they fit without all the machining....so it is really ALL about the offset

Seems you have an issue with what I did? Sorry if i didnt please you.. LOL!

Like i said, thanks for the feedback, no BS Intended. But dont try to belittle me.

Have fun with the BC weather my friend.

I don't have an issue with it...other than someone else may read the thread...and buy rims with that offset...and then wonder why they rub by over 1/2 inch in the rear.

Mazdatrix was running 18x10s front and rear something like three years ago, with 265/35-18 tires on it.

I think someone needs to practice their backing up.

Can you put a 20b in my car? :fingersx:

MAYA

Angel, the Mesh wheels look gorgeous on your car, I love Mesh wheels on the 8, my first set of wheels (HP Evo Ligthning) really suited the car.

hey Fellas

correct me if im wrong....offset is a factor, yes...but you also have to take into account the type of rim it is...

the type of rim does plays a role in brake and suspension clearance depending on spoke design. it doesn't play a factor in fender clearance though.

Not much of a ..problem on the rear..

Small caliper and rotor, with almost no protrusion of the caliper.

It is a big problem with wheels without much dish in the front..

Throw some dees on it! ;)

wouldn't work with SNOW................................

wouldn't work with SNOW................................

Haha i thought you would want wider tires for the snow lol :wiggle:

narrower tires help cut through the snow. unless you rock chains! lol

yup,

I use 215 50 17's in the winter.

I purchased a set of H-Techs for the car yesterday, it will take a few weeks before the shop gets them, until than I will be shopping for a new set of dampers. I didnt want to lower the car too much. Will post pics when they are installed.

Any recommendations for a decently priced set of Dampers?

Lets see some pics man not just one wheel and one of the back all cut of lol
I want to see how far they stick out!!!
