XXR 527 |
I suppose they're appropriate for someone driving around with a rod & piston assy hanging off their rear bumper
|
XXR do have odd sizes, but they say it is for "maximum stretch". Not the kind of wheel a racer like Team (or me) care about. They don't look horrible though.

Meh. It started as kind of an inside joke at school and I like it.

The XXR 17's with RS3's actually look decent in my opinion. What's with the missing front undertray though?
|
me? came off the highway a long time ago and never got around to replacing it. My temps are fine without it.
|
lolwut

Wrong thread dmedz?
Or are you talking about the under tray coming off on the highway? |

Anyone have a photo of 17in rims at stock ride height with 245/45?

Kosei K4r 17X8 +50. Kumho XS 245/45

5Zigen FNO1R-C *Limited edition Time Attacks*
17X10 front and back +25mm offset front and back Nitto NT01 Track radials (Also ran Kumho Ecsta XS) 225 or 235/45 or it coulda been 245/35s LOL (I believe, it was too long ago...) Imported HKS Hipermax II coils Autoexe 6 piece under bracing Autoexe 6 pt engine brace Autoexe 4pt trunk brace Autoexe Fender brace Autopower 4pt roll bar Stitch welded PT racing sways front and back AP racing endlinks front and back AP A arms PT spindles and a bunch of other suspension crap I am sure I am forgeting that let me run this aggressive of a setup and have zero issues. Height varied from the track to the street. Bumper mods were trimming of the rear fender liners and shaving down of the bumper support bracket and a "roll" (I didn't roll it I used a ping hammer to do a better job) For the front the side marker had to be trimmed up as did the mounting area to allow the wheel to full clock at that height and not ruin $500 tires that are already as soft as butter. https://www.rx8club.com/members/t-re...ovie6-9481.jpg https://www.rx8club.com/members/t-re...ovie3-9477.jpg https://www.rx8club.com/members/t-re...rey10-2558.jpg |
