Are you all running coil-over springs in the front to fit these wheels???
|
To answer the konig fitment question....they should fit! I have an S and a GS and they fit both with stock springs and Racing Beat
proof! Stock: http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...1/DSC02850.jpg Racing Beat; http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...Picture003.jpg http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...Picture004.jpg http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...Picture018.jpg |
I have them on my 82 GSL with totally stock (and original) suspension, and they fit fine all the way around.

Im assuming it would be the same but in Australia the 1st gen cars with 4/110 stud pattern have the low offset +20
and cars with the 4/114.3 stud have the high +35 we call 1st gens S1, S2, S3, rather than sa fb etc S1 plastic cap steel bumpers, drum rears and 4x110 stud S2 wrap-around plastic bumpers, rear discs, power windows 4x110 stud S3 bigger brakes F&R & brake vent slits in front air dam under bumper, thicker/longer axles, 4x114.3 stud my car is 4x110eg low offset I have 15x7 (+10) fronts 195/50/15 and 15x8 (+5ish) rears 205/50/15....ill confirm when i get access to my wheels perfect fitment, low as, no scrape, couldnt get closer to gaurds without scrape get the highest offset wheel u can at the required width slowly add washers to stack the wheel out to where u want it measure the amount of washers and take this from offset eg 15x7(+40) +20mm of washers stacked on hub makes it a 15x7 (+20) hey Red95T-rex: check the stamping on the back of your wheel something very fishy here..... if u put low offset wheels on a car that needs high offset they will stick out the gaurds...... If u put high offset wheels on a low offset car they sit way under the car and foul on the suspension since you dont have wheels sticking out the side of your car, that means the supplied wheels are too high offset...... but +20 isnt high its low, so somethings wrong maybe they supplied wrong offset by mistake??? wrong wheels in boxes????who knows??? +40 wheels definately fit with approx 1in spacer(20-25mm) mate bought a set of 17x7(+40) wheels off ebay from a 4/114.3 Rx7 when they arrived they didnt fit...he wasnt aware of the stud pattern offset issue we added 25mm hub adapters which runs the wheels at +15 and they corrected the stud pattern to 4x110 problem solved!!!! now im tired of typin hahahaha |
Very well explained yellow. I have 17"x7"s +40 offset with adaptors. I found I had to go back to 20mm adaptors at the front (partly because of brake conversion) and even with rolled guards and Noltec strut tops at max camber I still get the occasional scrub (very light)

Ive got a set myself, but they actually say +42 on the sticker inside. Unusual...Were they just on crack when they made them or what? http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...houseview2.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...SL2-damage.jpg Mine sorta do look a little bit more tucked. Whats goin on here?? RIP- silver FB |
haha i'm sorry! i quoted the wrong pic! but they were on the back of one of the FB's on the first page!!!

I have NO clue what the offset is. They are Cragar 14" wheels. They are like 7" wide.
They look sexy though! http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...7112808009.jpg http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...7112808040.jpg |
I'm looking for a wheel like the Rota or Konig gunmetal in 4x110 15x8 0 offset. I plan on using a fender flare. Does this exist or do I need spacers?

where can i get one of those bumper lips!!! Oh yea, im a bit clueless when it comes to wheels and offsets. If the wheel is say -16 offset, would that be sticking out too much and leaving the car undriveable? anywhere i can read more on offsets and pros/cons of having wide wheels |

Im getting custom wheels thats why i ask. |

i will look up the offset next time i pull the wheels. I want them to stick out a little more. I will be converting to gsl-se suspension soon and will get custom adapters to keep the wheels and make them stick out a little more to get the look I want hopefully

Special custom drilled SSRs for my RX-3
Front: 16x7.5 Rear: 15x8.5 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...3/SDC10074.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...3/SDC10076.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...3/SDC10072.jpg |
very nice!

Not exactly deep dish, but the biggest wheel I can fit until I install the Mariah WB.
These are: 17x7 +42mm with 215x45 17x8 +35mm with 225x45 Once I put on the Mariah, I will put the rears in the front and install 17x9 +20mm (probably with a spacer) with 245/45 on the rear. As you can see, you cannot get much more aggressive than these without a WB. http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/x...ce/RX-7016.jpg <a href="http://s768.photobucket.com/albums/xx326/mikericboetius/?action=view¤t=RX-7017.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx326/mikericboetius/RX-7017.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/x...ce/RX-7015.jpg |

Im also in the process of assemblying another set of epsilons for my light blue RX-3. For the fronts, Im going with 15x8 and 15x9. this pix is with my other set 16x9 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...r/DSC07308.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...r/DSC07298.jpg |
Where do you guys find these tires? The ONLY reason I went with 17's is fat 15's just don't have tires anymore. Try looking for a 255 or 265 15. "Sorry, you seem to have entered an incorrect search parameter..." I'm not laking about el chepo tire either, I'm talking about high performance and race tires. When buying wheels I need to have options...
Once I get the WB, I will probably also go with TII breaks and wheel patterns. Then you can just cruise the wheel FS section and have lots of options. These wheels currently for sale would look great on a WB FB IMO and at 17 by 8.5" and 9.5" would nicely fill up the wheel wells: http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/x...5f1e12b4_b.jpg http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/x...82b32eab_b.jpg |

i will allways prefer these meshies anyday

how much lower than stock is your car??
|
thank-you, very informative and helpful.
|
so the last post in this thread is over a year ago... but im wondering. how far has anyone stretched or rolled their SA/FB for fitment on stock fenders? (google images is worthless to search for cars without flares or widebody) I've been buying parts for my 93 but i look at my FB everyday and feel guilty for not doing anything with it. Maybe shoe shopping will make me feel better :P
|
max width?
anyone know what the widest wheels/tires I can fit with stock fenders and close-to-stock ride height and ZERO rubbing? I currently have 215/17's in the rear and I scrape, but only because they are 17's I think. I want 15, or 16" wheels preferably 9inch wide atleast. also I have a 4x114.3 pattern
|
i have some 245's on the back of my fb. my wheels are 17x8 et +50 mustang wheels. the fronts needed a spacer to fit that offset.
