lol, KS Burnout, 18x9.5FNs, 295/35/18s. Only the cleanest of the clean for RX7club.



also lol, "I need loads of grip". who are you kidding, you're gonna be rolling Kuhmo 712s like every other person on this board.

 

Thats pretty Fresh.

 

yeah, i'm gonna be rolling Kumho's.....what an ***. BTW, there's nothing wrong with Kumho's, i've got them on another one of my vehicles.

For my FD I already have 335/30/18 Michelins for the rear. Here's a pic of my engine bay, do the math jackass.
On my last setup I was running 275's, but they don't hold up anymore, Hence the loads of grip. So the 265's would be a step down already. I may have to change to 11" width. I have HKS coilovers, but havn't measured yet for offsets.

 

mine are only 35 et. 18x9.5 rears.....8.5 fronts personally i wouldn`t go any lower than 20et. mine rubbed a bit when i was giving it some on the bends. with rex lowered 2". 18x10 with et 20 out back would be perfect compromis. 18x9 up front with 20et

 

the problem with the rear arch`s is that the burnout lip sits underneath under original arch lip. making it about 1.5" deep. we rolled my original arch`s as far as we could, then cut back the burnout lip as far as poss. so really unless your gonna cut and remove a section from rear archs ( making the burnout your new skin) then the actual arch gap for your tire/alloys is no better than a good, rolled arch.

you can only go et6 etc with the tires silly stretched. good look for the shows. but if you get pulled over here. your screwed. as someone else has stated, tire manufacturers have set rim widths for there tires. step outside this and your insurance is void

 

Harris-
The plan is to remove the original metal arch, so the burnout will in fact be the new skin. The reason I bought the arches are for function, not looks. Although, they do look badass as well.

 

why is that car going to auto salon?

 

Auto Salon-It was requested of me by Falken Japan, but without having the remainder of changes complete in time to ship, it won't be at the show. All in all, I pretty happy about having more time to work on it rather than trying to scramble and get things done.

 

hey paximum, good skill for doing the rears that way. you`ll definately get 11" with 295 on there
