Holy crap 325s?

That last page fails.

 

^ seriously. this thread is going downhill....

Couldn't find the article online but found this thread about it. Clean *** IS if you ask me.

waiting for new wheels.

 

took the car back just to make sure, and nope, camber was adjusted to fit the wheels just fine. and yes, i need a 300/25 not a 325/30. THE TIRES CAME WITH THE WHEELS. i didnt pick the specs of the wheels, they were basically given to me. i paid 300 for the wheels total. these were meant to go on a 94 mustang that some guy ordered and never picked up. also found out that the fenders arent the ones scrubbing. its the plastic wheel well lining that is/was scrubbing. they were loose so i had my buddy put a self tap screw in them and the scrubbing ceased. what more can i say? i didnt pick the tires they came with. and as soon as i have ~600 to spend on 19" tires, im gonna get some.

this was directed at all the flamers, b/c apparently, they flame before reading all the accompanying posts.

 

u dont need 305s u need 275 maxxx ***** weak

 

that's hilarious. lol

w00t w00t! ninja edits!

 

^The guy with the IS350 is a local. I've seen it a few times, its a nice car and all but what's the point on spending thousand of dollars on race inspired products that will never see a track...

 

lol, that started four or more years ago ...

 

yeah, pretty ridiculous sometimes, more than race pricing even for heavy wheels

^damn dude you always mad

 

hahaha, team will always be team. isn't that right buddy???

 

seriously so much hate, everybody spends their money on the **** they want, if someone wants to spend it on cocaine and hookers (charlie sheen) i wont judge hahaha thats their choice. if we were all doing the same thing life would be pretty dull

 

So ive got a question, I want to keep a pretty flush set-up but have just now been thinking about maybe going with some 17s probably like 17x9.5 + 18 or something around there, anyone know of someone whos run this size with some tire stretch? Most of the RX 8s that are running 17s seem to be more for funtcion.

17s just seem like a good idea cant really find any downfalls to them over 18s other than looks. If theres other please let me know. I have 19s right now and I feel like their too big looking.

 

A 17" tire in an equivalent size to your 19" will have more side wall and that sometimes can equate to a softer feel on many tires. Not sure thats a down side for everyone but you asked.

I really like the idea of cheaper tires with a 17 inch rim.

If you have a "favorite" tire check and make sure you can get it in the 17" size you want before you pull the trigger.

 

Some of the big things I Like about a 17 inch wheel is its cheaper both for the wheels and tires, weighs less, with my 19s I have a lot of road noise with 17s I'm sure I'd get rid of a lot of that and also correct me if I'm wrong but with a lil more sidewall I feel like that would soften the harsh ride from coilovers some.

Anyway I'm mobile now and can't see pics but I thought of a few people that have 17s with a fairly low offset so ill check out those pics when I'm home.

And Just throwing it out there but what I'm thinking about is some 17x9.5 +18 rpf1s

 

Here is what i am running. 17x9 +28 245/45

 

Thanks your car was one of the cars I was gonna look at later. Are you running much negative camber with That offset I don't think you would have to correct?

I like the look but I want to be about an inch lower than you are just judging by the pics.

 

I am not running much - camber. I am also on tanabe springs so if i could have gone lower i would.

 

i was in jersey this weekend for waterfest

people would walk up to my car and say "this guy has to be on bags"

then they'd think i was retarded cause it's static lol

THUMBS UP ALL AROUND

 

hahaha. what's wrong with static?

 

VW guys are down with static!

 

static is more impressive anyway...bigger props

 

I snapped some pics of Hoss-05's car yesterday to make him miss it even more

18 x 10 Forgestar. Stance Coilovers, still messing with them to find a good balance.
