^^^ i agree! ^^^

 

The pleasure was all mine!

Your car, among a couple others, really makes me strive to take the next step

So when are you going to get those wheels rebuilt for more lip?

 

Konig - The same goes to you, that goes to Greg, lol!

 

+1 for more lip for konig AND gregs!!!

 

this car looks oddly familiar

thanks for the kind words :D

edit: i just realized that it would be HELLA embarrassing if i mounted my tires backwards xD because you can totally see the directional arrow thingys on the sidewalls

 

what sidewalls

 

alerady looking into it just for the rear, it doesnt look like i can touch the front being i have that stupid BBK that takes up all the space..haha. pm will be coming your way asking about having some work done.

 

DAMN I WISH I WENT TO SS, .........alot of nice rides as always well done fellas looking good this year!!!!

 

HAHAHA word! What are your wheel stats crazy man? oh and those lowered skateboards are sick haha!

 

Hahah those boards are wayy sketch hahah! If you ever decide to make one, I highly recommend using longboard wheels xD 18x10.5+15

 

i tried riding the lowered board, sit is hard with no griptape

 

Mike brought up a good point, IZZYRX8 is running 245/35/19 BFG KDWS on a supposedly 19x10 wheel...but he is stretching a bit on the 245s. We measured the barrel from lip to lip (inboard bead seat to outbard bead seat) and it measured at 11"? We thought we had the wheels built to 19x10, but I guess they are x11s ...

 

that's why i like mine better :D i put one on the ground in front of the car (which was my buddy's) and one on the windshield (mine with griptape). the footing position is wayyy awk and you have to be careful not to step on the bolts. my friend did that and one bolt went straight through his shoe

 

the camera guys in the e28 forgot it in the parking lot, i had to throw it in my car and catch up to them lol

 

LOOOOOL DID THEY?!?!?!? HAHAHAHHHH!!!

 

they were tired didnt realize their sweater was about to fall off their trunk too lol

 

someone doesn't know their wheel stuffs You subtract an inch from what you measured to get the real width.

 

zumn its from inside the mounting beads not the outside lol

 

Thanks man, Yeah i love it, i was worried when i first got them if they'd look good but im happy with them. I do wanna go a little lower, just sucks because the oil pan is the first thing to get nailed, bleh. Oklahoma Roads suck bawllss. i almost got the chromium ones but went with flat, obviously. I'm gonna do 245's on the rear i think next. but there's not a big reason to, i like the Stretched look and unless i go boosty boosty i wont need the extra tread lol.

Thanks again, Hit me up with your setup when you get them if you would!

 

Will do, getting my coils back this week and Ill be ordering my wheels this weekend hopefully. Who did you order from?

And yeah, I definitely understand the bad roads concern, I live on a back road in WV, and my road gets nailed pretty hard by snow, yet hasnt been repaved in like 3 years or so. Im praying for my oil pan until I move into town next fall.

 

Brake clearance will be determined by the face of the wheel - changing lips and/or barrels won't effect clearance from the brake caliper to the face of the wheel.

Depending if your wheels are 2 piece or 3 piece (I personally don't recall) it may be as easy as swapping out the lips

Should have come out! I was halfway expecting to see your S2, as you came out with the S1 the past couple of years.

Others already mentioned it, but width and diameter is taken from the bead seat (where the inner portion of the tire touches the wheel), rather than end of the lip. In general, there is about a .75-1" difference total in wheel width (0.375"-.5" per side, usually).

Also, because 19" tires have shorter sidewalls, the stretch is more apparent (same amount of stretch as an 18" equivalent, but over a shorter distance).

 

^+^^+^^^ Yeah thats what I thought, thats why I asked. Interesting about the sidewall stretch... Makes sense. Im learning, Im learning. In my mind I'm already building some RETARDED Wheel set-ups

 

If you don't think you can use 245s without boost you are doing it wrong. The stretched look isnt ever cool and especially when it isn't necessary.

 

anyone ever fit a 10.5 +20 up front? or close to that?
