Yeah, that is def. not close. He sold his rims to someone else. They're 17x10 with a 20 somethin offset.

 

So if i want to run a 17x10 rim with a +35 offset in the rear with a 275/40/17 RT-615 tire. would i be good without rubbing at stock height. i know i will be good on the front because i am running a smaller rim and tire. just not sure weather to go with the 275 or 255 on the rear.

 

that's gonna rub.

i have 17x10 wheels (25 offset) and 245/45 tires, and i rub.

a lot.

 

I thought somewhere in here and the will it fit thread that they said you can run that wide of wheel and tire in the back without issues. a +35 offset would also be 10MM farther in then a +25. also if the fenders were rolled would it be ok?

 

that was purely speculative on my part, but it just seems to me like it would since i have 17x10's. i'd go with 255/40 if i could do it all over again. what do you have in the front?

10mm won't make that much of a difference on a tire that big.

however, most of the guys in the WIF thread know monumentally more about this stuff than i do, and i don't want to steal their thunder.

i'd plan on rolling your fenders if i were you.

 

fwiw, i asked about using a 275 on this wheel a while beck before i bought them and someone told me it was just too much tire to cram in there, and now i see why.

 

next i get tint.


these pics suck. camera phone. damnit. you get the idea.

 

loks good....just get better pics

 

thanks. hopefully i'll get a new cam soon.

i've got my old center caps for sale if anyone wants.

 

The problem is too many people have something to say when they have no idea wtf they are talking about...

 

I just ordered my FN01R-C's in bronze. Should be here at the end of the month.

 

^What size did you end up getting?

 

18x9.5 +35 wrapped in falken azenis rt-615 275/35/18.

 

DIY: Cover that TPMS Light!

 

nice. post pics asap.

^what's the tpms problem? mine work fine.

 

the place i had my new rims installed at refused to swap tmps - they said the piece gets coroded and mounting point is very likely to crack if they try to take it out and it will cause air leaks.

WOW thats nutty! i gotta come by check that out!

 

the tpms will do that, but it's usually good for a swap or two. mazda wants them changed every time, but f that. they're expensive.

and you don't have to change the whole things to avoid the failure, you can replace just the weak parts.

 

Wheels will be here tomorrow!

 

yeah - i want to say the kit that has the wear pieces is about $10/each so better than the $60 or so they are new.

 

^yep

 

alright...the wheels are here today and i will post up pics of the wheels themselves later. the wheels will go on the car this weekend.

 

if u must know..since I dont have the car and the wheels anymore i'll spill the beans..

17x10 +25 245/45/17 nitto nt02....

you will rubb so a fender cut/ roll and an aggresive negative camber setup will be needed.

 

I am gettin some 5ziegens mounted on friday with their lugs. The TPMS deal, i am not to worried about. I will prolly just use regular stems and no sensors. I already have hte CEL, DSC, "Swervy car" light, cruise main, and the cruise light on when i drive. Whats another light. Plus the COBB AP is in the near future so that should be able to remove a couple of those lights.

 

^omg. is this an april fools joke? he really told us? wow. well, i always liked how it looked. how did it handle?

 

it stuck like glue...
