What were the specs on the rims you got to fill out the new wide fenders... ? like the offset and where did you get them,,, pics would help

 

I'm running 15x10 in the back and 16x8 in the front. I cant remember the offset. But I have a spare and I'll measure tommorow for ya.

 

I have a set of old school Epsilons. 15x8 front, 15x10 rear. I don't know what the offset is, but with the CPRacing wb kit, (which I think is a knock off of the old Pacifica kit), they tuck in too much. Still in the process of installing the kit, almost ready for paint. I will probably need to find spacers close to 2" to fill the fenders.

I believe the Epsilons were originaly sold with the Mariah wb kit.

 

www.ccwheel.com 17x12 4 1/2 inch backspasing (5 1/2 is stock) I wanted to bring out the wheel closest to the fender without having to go 17X13

 

i was told (still haven't measured yet) 15x10.5 out back and 8.5 up front. BBS 3 peice race rims.

 

Completely depends on the type of body kit and if you run SE underpinnings or not.The SE stuff pushes the wheels out more and there are lots of widebodies out there,some mild some wild.
Mine is a Mariah Mode 1.Pretty tame in the width department.Along with an SE rearend and a 12" front brake kit,I went with 17X8 and 17X9 Advan RG's.The offset was limited for a 4 lug application so I choose the deepest I could get at about 32MM.Then I used spacers to push them out.HR makes some very good quality, hubcentric spacers if you still need 5-10-15mm of push to fill in the gap.However they only come in SE lug patterns.

 

congrats on car of the month on mazspeed.

As indicated above, each body kit has its own requirements and/or limitations. Add to that individual likes / dislikes.

For example, I can't stand tires that hang out of the wells excessively. Also, I just can't get used to the huge rims with almost no tire look ( like 17" and 18" rims with 30 or 35 series sidewalls ). Whether it's a sports car or an SUV, that looks like some real fat guy wearing some pumps.

 

LOL^^^^ and in size 16 pumps no less.

 

Yea,but unlike a fat guy in pumps,they are nimble.So long as you dont hit any bad potholes,the rubberband tires like mine are super responsive.

 

Sorry. I meant to say a fat guy in pumps with CATLIKE REFLEXES !!!

 

I have the pacific 7 piece wide body kit ( yeah its pacific not any other mis sp version) it is more mild than than some others on width about the same with as the mariah mode 1 I have 15x8.25 on front w 4.5 back spacing and 15x9.25 on the rear with 4.5 back spacing like every one else said it depends on your kit and your likes.what kit do you have or are you getting?

 

I was planning on getting the GTO-1 from mariah ... i think it looks sweet... do you have pics of your car?

 

I have the Pacific kit on my 81 & looks about like the Mariah Mode 1 to me also. Have HRE wheels on it now w/ Yoko AVS Intermediates but am not completely happy.
