Hey Tilt how stiff is your rear coilover setting? I am asking because you are so low and wondering if your tires hit the top of the fender well when going over bumps...

 

Imput - I still have the FEED front and sides, I'm working with Shine on them and they still need a bit more time with them

Thanks for the compliments everyone. My car is absolutely filthy here, I had just finished fitting the wheels at my place and cruised down to my friend's house. I parked and happened to have my camera so took some pics, here are some more :-D

Mike - We can *try* test fitting these, I don't know what's going to happen. It'll be fun though!

 

Right now I'm still on softy hipermax rs 5k's. I'm going to pick up some uber jdm tyte coilovers that have rate's that'll put some hair on my chest some time soon. To answer your question though, I've never really had that issue. Sometimes when profiling into or out of steep steep driveways the fronts will lock up from hitting the inside portion of the bumper, but that's it.

 

Tilt, seeing those pics have made me want to ditch my crappy wheels and go with something better than what I have to hold me over till CCWs. 18x10.5 NT03s are the next wheels I'm getting. Tryin to decide between 255s and 265s though.


I love the squared look of your tires, but I also like a little stretch.

 

Thanks for your response and looking at those pics, its great to see that you pulled off 275's on 9.5 with such low offsets.

If I wasn't getting married, ie no money, and someone would help me fit these I would have them in a heartbeat. These are my new favorite wheel. Not much different than what I have but DAMN I love em lol.

 

for sure tilt whenever your open just hit me up, you still have my #?


i see you finally got your jic exhaust back

 

that's been done, look up Rick he has 265's all around.

 

Pro Drives are the ****.

 

What offsets you looking to run? Also, is your car actually used for drift more than grip? I'm going to half-hazardly suggest 255/35's, you'll get a nice wheel poke

I too enjoy stretch as well as square's out.

Silvere - they're actually 265/35's just very meaty!

Haha yeah, actually are similar to what you've got! Are your wheels JIC wheels? I can't really tell :-X

 

Speed Alliance had the gc-05 for $510 a pop in 18x9.5 +15 only

 

Yeah the car is used more for drift than grip. The only offset the 18x10.5 NTO3 comes in, is a +30.

 

^How the hell are you gonna sliding 265 on an NA rx8, go like 225.

Tilt the wheels look dope but I miss the takata cai's.

 

Mine are Enkei RP03. Those Prodrives I posted are similar but way nicer imo. Can someone link me to a car showing how concave they look though? I couldn't find any good pictures of wide ones.

 

i cant find any gc-05 with low offsets, all the subie owners buy them in +40 or higher

 

They don't get THAT concave.

 

Gay. Guess the search continues. Thanks for the heads up. People can feel free to PM me ideas. 5 spoke with concavity being name of the game.

 

18x9.5 +30?

 

Because the rotary isn't stayin in the car. I've got a side project LS1 that I've been tinkering with off/on for a couple years now that will be going in the car.

I'd still go 255s anyway

 

New rims look sick, Tilt. Making me want some RPF1's....

 

that does not look +30 to me

 

So to you, what does it look like?

 

Question:

Is it possible to adjust the coil overs with the wheels on with an aggressive setup? Or do you remove each wheel, adjust, re adjust, and reinstall wheels.

 

It is possible, but its a PIA, removing the wheels make it so much easier.

 

idk your suppose to adjust the coilovers by taking them off and adjusting the bottom. the 2 rings adjust the spring rates. If you use the rings for hight adjustment it will diffinitely effect the way your car handles a lot.
