(PIC) TE-37 ings offset on my car.~~~
 

2003 Limited edition Mercury Silver
Offset +22 F +34 R

245/35/19, 265/30/19

Being waitting the wheels for 7 months and it just arrive 2 days ago. order the tyres and fit today.

But don't get this offset guys. rear wheels are nice. front rubs like hell...... :mad:

drove today around for40 kms and rub on my front bumper bar and push the side parkers lights out......

Too fat the wheels...

More...
 

Let me know what you people thinks.

looks amazing!!!!!


beers :beer:

I really like this.

look nice. the high and everything. but the RUB is really killing me. no chance to drive it.

even when i drive 60km/h rub still...........

very nice man, I like your 8 and the rim

I think it looks GREAT. You've done a good job with all your mods. Fix the rubbing problem and keep em'.

i think i will have to try harder rate of spring. or have to higher the car. and that sucks if the car go higher...... :Eyecrazy:

What kind of trunk is that? Maybe its the angle, but it looks different.

Its AutoExe Trunk lid.

nice man, welcome to the volk wheels club. I don't know if its just me, but those fronts look more like my front offset than +22's. I have a +30 in the front. My fronts rubb a little bit when I have the wheel completely turned but not something that can cause problems. Other than that, just beautiful!

neeeed mo go to match teh sho. but very nice.. <3 Amemiya... awhhh amemiya... yes.. omg.... love him...

yeah its 22 but doesn't look likes it i know. not sure why.

but its killing me. need to fix it very soon.

i hope harder rate of spring will help.

XDEEDUBBX your car is hot also.

Love the red and black. nice job.

looks good. sorry to hear that tho

thanks elite, i like your center caps, are those the carbon fiber ones? I decided to go with the flat caps because i love that stealth look, if they didn't have the flat caps in stock I would have went with those as well...

Wow ELITE-RX8 your 8 looks sweeeet!

yeah those caps are carbon's.

they nice. just want something different on my car. too much silver already for my 8.

Me like silver

looks good elite. sorry about the rubbing though.

Nice choice of wheels/color ELITE!!! This is easily one of the nicest Silver 8's I've seen! :)

wow!! very nice!! :)

Wow that looks great. :icon_tup: :icon_tup: It's a pitty it rubs though...

beauty congrats

Nice. . .very nice.

Wow, that looks sweet! That mercury silver finish is pretty cool too.

too bad its gonna get smashed real soon :'(

NICE. That's some aggressive offset, but looks really nice. Does ur suspension come with ajustable pillow mount? If it does, you might want to dial in the front camber.

Nice but you bought the wrong offset.

If you try to change the alignment the tires will wear funny and the handlig will be off.

If you alignment is changed too much the wheels will look coock eyed. (crooked)

explain yourself please

^ hes jealous?

the offset is from ings. I guess ings just use them to get more dish.

i think just need to higher the car abit and change harder spring. now my car between the tyres and the car is only 1cm. so maybe a bit higher is ok. and when show lower down.

Thanks XDEEDUBBX. i was about that ask the same question also.

Smashed real soon?? what you mean unreal89??

looks awesome!

how about running some more camber to stop the rubbing?

kit looks even better at night, nice pics

Its silver :)

the silver?? i don't understand~

hahaha... the curse... of the silver 8s. Its a joke. And its now killed.

elite- dude your car looks really sick! that kit with those rims im speechless

sorry for going off topic, i have the same offset but different size wheels for my rear and im wondering if putting on 275/35/18 will rub the rear fender? cause right now i have 275/40/18 on the rear and it rubs like hell cause the side wall of the tires are too thick. anyways does 275/35/18 and 275/40/18 make a big difference? or should i just go 265/35/18? thanks

i think you should go for 265. and also roll the fenders.

ok thanks for the advice! :rock:

im running 275's in the rear, you will definetly rubb, i had my fenders cut.

im running 265's rear but im not rubbing cause my race spec alignment camber. but if it was regular alignment. i would defintely rub .

thanks guys for telling me.! :) now i know for sure i would need to roll my fenders. i just got a price quote from a shop and they told me that they would do it for $40 a fender, so do you guys think its a good deal?

The all silver is so clean! One of the hottest 8s on here.

get more negative camber!

+1.

It looks like you have 0 camber up front, or close to it, just from eyeballing the pics. -1 degree will help handling, have little effect on tread wear and will diminish (probably not solve) the rubbing issue.

ELITE-RX8: What is the width of the front wheels??

Again, what is the wheel width with the +30 o/s??
