View Full Version : New Rims on my 8
geetleaf 06-02-2008, 01:08 AM I finally got my set of J-Line wheels over the past week. They are the 10sl2 wheels with the step lip. I decided to go with 18s wrapped with Falken tires. Here are some pics of my new rims. Enjoy!

looks good!!!:) :)
I like the stretch look!! what size rim is in the rear? is it a 9 or 9.5in? or a 10?
Mikeluvs8 06-02-2008, 04:16 PM HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats gangsta!!!!! i say a 10 or a 10.5
crafted_soul 06-02-2008, 06:44 PM All you need is to paint your wheel gold and put some hydrolics on......that would complete the gangstar look....it would look SICK as Monica Lewinski on coke!!!! :P
TopGear8 06-02-2008, 06:53 PM Ehh, i like the bodykit, but i'm not a big fan of the wheels, or the stretched tires.
thebiggdaddy 06-02-2008, 07:46 PM try taking some side profile pics.
To be named later 06-02-2008, 07:58 PM Only the rears are stretched?
They look mismatched.
Sorry, not a big fan of stretched tires. Stretched tires look rice.
RA-Eight 06-02-2008, 08:48 PM Dang! J-Line = Baller. Congrats!
HockeyRX-8 06-02-2008, 09:03 PM I like the wheels....but I don't like the stretched tires.
chancejat 06-02-2008, 09:25 PM looks good but the strech is a little too much, maybe 245's or 255's instead
Razz1 06-02-2008, 09:33 PM Wheels are nice but looks like rice due the the Str e e e e ch......................
alienRX8 06-02-2008, 09:55 PM what is the point of stretched tires really?
I dont think they look good at all because they rim sticks out too much. Its not that its rice or not. Is there a point to it? If there is no point to it then I would like my rims to be covered completely.
Project04S3P-v.2.0. 06-02-2008, 10:07 PM what is the point of stretched tires really?

its to be able to run a lower offset and to be able to get more clearance with the tires when its lowered. The only downfall is the ability to run a fatter tire. i would say its more for looks. Check out the VIP cars how there wheels are just flush with the body. check this out.....this pic of the wheel is a lill too stretched but it clears the fender and it tucks!! its all preference so what if people stretch there wheels let them be.

alienRX8 06-02-2008, 10:14 PM Wow I respect everyones opinion but god that looks HORRIBLE.
Project04S3P-v.2.0. 06-02-2008, 10:40 PM Wow I respect everyones opinion but god that looks HORRIBLE.
i totally agree!! this stretch is a lil too much for me!! but its all about prefference and what a person intends on doin with there cars. Of course a person isn't going to run stretch tires on a time attack car that would be stupid!! majority of these VIP cars are running stretched tires so i guess according to RAZZ1 VIP cars are rice to him :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Rotary_Redliner 06-02-2008, 10:56 PM look hott... feelin everything about it
Project04S3P-v.2.0. 06-02-2008, 10:59 PM check this out alienRX8
This 350z is running the stretch look. see how flush the wheels are with the fender? that car looks really agressive with the low offset and stretch look.
the s13 is running a stretch look and again see how flush it is? and no this s13 is not on bags it was featured in superstreet a couple of months back its on coilovers. and last pic is a Q45 with a stretch look.
All preference is what it is and these cars are not rice!!!

gsd8702 06-02-2008, 11:28 PM everyones hating on the stretched look but i gotta give you props homey! no one really pulls it off on a 8.
alienRX8 06-02-2008, 11:29 PM idk man to me it just looks like the guy didnt have enough $$ to buy the correct tire size.
I get that its so you can fit the wheel in but then why would you lower your car like that. I dont get that kind of modding. To me its all about performance and nice looks, not extreme looks. But to each their own.
And thanks for the explanation, I had no idea people did that. I guess here in Puerto Rico you dont see that too often because I have never seen it hehe.
gsd8702 06-02-2008, 11:31 PM thats what you call HELLAFLUSH!
Project04S3P-v.2.0. 06-02-2008, 11:37 PM i had to post this pic
http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o32/HR03ZTS/b1.jpg
this car is running a 18x9.5 all around with a 22et. i think these tires are a 225 or 235, the tires are stretch. im not sure what size tire i saw the specs in a magazine my friend has!! this car is not on airbags. its on coilovers
the specs of this burnout car is in this book.
HYPER REV 101 vol 2
https://www.upscaleautomotive.com/p-8232-hyper-rev-vol-110-mazda-rx-8-2-jdm-magazine-book.aspx
this is an 8 is on air bags. its on air runner suspension.

gsd8702 06-02-2008, 11:40 PM now you need coilovers boss.

no problem your the only one that had the common sense to ask why people stretch the tires. at least you know now theres a reason behind it. Its definitely for looks for some, but you'll see some drifter cars running stretch and they abuse the fuck out of the tires and go through them like its nothing. VW owner love stretching their tires too!! yea if this person in the pics puts the correct size tire that was intended for the wheels they would probably have to run a higher offset or go with a widebody kit or flares on their car. i'm not sure about the s13 pic that i posted it may be running some overfenders im not sure, but you get my point now why people stretch the tires.
bbybmrzmr 06-02-2008, 11:53 PM hey guys the rims are 18x9.5 and 18x8. offsets are unknown but i think they are low 30. The tires came with the rims. I gave him a kick ass deal so he couldn't really argue. Hey how many people have Jlines on this fourm anyways!

can you get a deal on them? i liked the way you stretched the tires did the tire shop have a problem mounting them? my friend put a 225 45 on a 9.5 and the person mounting them was bitching!! :lol: :lol:
gsd8702 06-03-2008, 01:16 AM everyone should stretch! its the way to go! who gets the right size tires these days?????
Easy_E1 06-03-2008, 03:28 AM Not working for me. Kinda unsafe too. Air pressure goes down and in a hard turn it slides right off the rim. Maybe get some curb feelers too.

My friend owed me some money and gave the jline's that were brand new along with the new tires as payment. I think he was going to put them on a s14. Why the hell would anyone put smaller tires if they had a choice. It came with brand new rims and tires.
Who else has these rims on the forum?
Mikeluvs8 06-03-2008, 03:36 AM Not working for me. Kinda unsafe too. Air pressure goes down and in a hard turn it slides right off the rim. Maybe get some curb feelers too.
i never really heard of anyone that died due to stretched tires, everytime you race you take a risk, so i dont see how stretching your tire is unsafe. mine are stretched and i dont have a prob with air pressure going down, im sure if you ask Dom he will say the samething.
XDEEDUBBX 06-03-2008, 08:40 AM hahha ^^^^^
i like my tires meaty... 275's biatch!
geetleaf 06-03-2008, 02:56 PM i got my wheels with the tires already on them so i had no choice but to run them until they wear. the rears are 235/40/18 and it makes the tire look way stretched but whatever, i saved money by buying the set with tires already loaded. for the time being, ill keep my tires stretched until i have to replace them with wider tires
Mikeluvs8 06-03-2008, 03:43 PM hahha ^^^^^
i like my tires meaty... 275's biatch!
if you like truck tires thats fine, :lol: you should of made it 325's so you could off road.;)
anet1737 06-03-2008, 06:35 PM good lookin wheels...lovin the stretched look.
dag14qb 06-03-2008, 06:42 PM shiny!!
swoope 06-03-2008, 06:59 PM its to be able to run a lower offset and to be able to get more clearance with the tires when its lowered. The only downfall is the ability to run a fatter tire. i would say its more for looks. Check out the VIP cars how there wheels are just flush with the body. check this out.....this pic of the wheel is a lill too stretched but it clears the fender and it tucks!! its all preference so what if people stretch there wheels let them be.

It all comes down to preference!!! This whole stretch look is a big debate even on the rx7club.com site. Its been around for years and isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Its not a big deal. All i wanted to do is give geetleaf his props on his wheels and explain why people stretch the tires. Oh well its a forum and just the internet!!
XDEEDUBBX 06-04-2008, 10:19 PM i got your meat hangin.:lol:
