SSR Professor SP1
18x9 +37
18x10 +41

 

wow, those are awesome looking!

Really like the way the MS nose looks on that color of silver...

Clear corners next?

 

That's Autobahn...isn't it?

The Autobahn front is my favorite

Looks great

 

sex

 

looks nice...but sets the balance of the car off...

 

I r agree

 

how do you mean?

autobahn replica front

as i said before, i dont want clear corners

thanks for looking and for the feedback

 

i think this kit + this color
great with P45Rs Rotas

 

looks great!

 

i was thinking about hypersilver p45r rotas actually

 

too bad the p45r won't fit....18x9.5 +30 offset...dosen't sound like it would fit.

 

Whoa thats a replica?
Still nice
Hows was the fitment?

 

there are a couple members who run p45r on their 8s, they do poke a lil bit lol

the replica is alright, took a lot of work by my bodyshop but the fitment is good enough now. spent a lot more than i would have liked though to make it fit right, probably should have just bought the real thing

 

18x9.5 +30 wont fit?
c41250n had P45Rs on his car before
SICK!.

 

c41250n had p45r as well as torques in 18x9.5 in a lower offset than 30. hes currently running professors, 18x10 all around and something like a +24 offset. these here are weak sauce compared to his

 

c41250n has really tasteful sense in wheels
spends wisely and makes most out of it
VERY VERY AGGRESSIVE setup (makes the 8 look real good)
emphasizing it the right way

 

Staggered fitment upsets the car's handling.

i have a set of wheels to race on

Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 +45 all around.

some weekend bling is nice to have

as far as stagger upsetting the balance...this is not necessarily true. staggering wheel size and even tire size can be a tool for tuning (maybe not the best method, but a method none the less), dialing in more understeer usually, if the car has a tendency to oversteer.

that said, i personally prefer to have same width wheels and tires all around, and using other methods of tuning.

 

looking good...
but if i were you i will take off the rear spoiler

do you mind tell me what tire size are you using?
i am in the market track rim and tire

do you need to roll the fender btw?

 

i agree about the spoiler, not sure what do do about it yet though.

on my Enkeis i run 275/35/18 all around.

the professors have 255/40/18 front and 285/35/18 rear

my rear fenders are rolled, i did it as a precaution and am not sure if it was necessary or not

 

oh...thanks for your fast reply

sigh...look like i have to roll my rear fender too
i am going to do 18x9.5 or 18x10 all around

still looking for a good offset so i dun have to roll my fender
and my car is really low btw

 

why dont you want to roll your fender? i think its a must if you wanna run some flush wheel fitment

no problem bout the fast replies, im doin homework so i just refresh this page every once in a while just to see

 

The rims look good... and serve their purpose for daily bling. also matches the rest of your exterior aesthetics.

now if you can just figure out what to do with the rear of your car.
you already know what my opinion on that is

-hS

 

but if i have a big offset like 50+, i dun have to roll my fender, right?
i am spending a lot of time doing research for offset of wide rims and tires
hopefully i can get an idea soon...

btw, how much did u pay for rolling the fender?
sigh...i am doing homework too....can't wait to see another weekend...

 

if you run too high of an offset you run the risk of rubbing the spokes with your brake calipers or rubbing the inner fender liner or other suspension components.

costed me $100 to roll the rears. if you want to save money u can do it with a rubber mallot and a heat gun. some people use a baseball bat
