You need to get some pictures of them on the car.

 

soon as i get tires

 

I got the same rims on my fd, but the gold ones. I love the style and the rear deep dish How much did you pay for them? I paid 2400 including tires. Get some pics on your car!

 

I can't say cause I get cost How much did you pay for tires though?

 

It was a package deal, so I don't know. Later, James

 

Got any pics mounted James?

 

go to this sight and go all the way down.

Tell me what you think!

 

I don't like the gold too much. Why did you decide to go with that color, especially on a silver car?

 

A lot of people said it won't look good, but I think it looks awesome! Also it looks differrent out in the street because I haven't seen this color combo. Just something different that catches peoples eye!!!

 

Whatever you like

 

Nice



Tire Size recommendation:

255/35-18 on 9 x 18

285/30-18 on 10 x 18

Enjoy!

 

Wow,all these nice wheels! Got me wanting to order new wheels, but I have not even got my latest set mounted hehe.

Those 18x10 +38 offsets like Mackin stocks?

 

Most people go with the bronze color. Can't wait to see what those rims look like mounted on the FD.

 

What's the offset on those rims?

 

+40 front and +38 as Volk reccomends

 

Those are the exact sizes I'm planning to run. Trying to decide on tires. Kinda limited in that not much comes in a 285/30. I was going to go with Toyos again but they don't have the size. Was also going to try the new Kumho MX but no dice. Will probably just go with S03s.

 

18x10 +38 has been done (Bigred IIRC), but you may want to stick with a narrower tire (he was running 265/35) and make sure you've got a good roll on the rear lip. A tiny more negative camber will help with tucking the wheel in as well if it comes down to that, though you can only go so far for obvious reasons. Good choice anyways.

 

I think there is plenty of room in the back. The front concerns me a little.

 

I think your wheel and paint combo are going to look perfect together

 

Thanks

 

I just noticed the front offset/width - a 18x9 +40 would have almost the same theoritical front spacing as a 18x10 +51 (within a mm or so), which is what Max and some others have. It is a bit tight, but it'll be ok. You might want to consider 245/35/18s for the front for the slightly smaller diameter and width. Unfortunately, only a handful of tire manufacturers make this size, with only Pirelli having both a 245/35/18 and a 285/30/18 in the same model (at least the last time I checked).

As for the rear, these are an old set of Gewalts I had in 18x10 +44 with 285/30/18 Pirelli Pzeros (in the rear). The tire sidewall was dead flush with the fender edge, such as if you dropped a plumb line down the edge. A 18x10 +38 would sit 6mm outward in comparison, all things being equal.



With very mild lowering (1" Rod Millan springs, though it seemed more like 1/2"-3/4" after they went on), factory street spec camber settings, and no fender lip roll, there was a slight 'snick' every blue moon (when I got a little carried away hehe).

Not trying to be alarmist, but hopefully you'll find this useful when you pick out tires. FWIW, the Pirellis PZeros (the original Assims) had a much more 'square' sidewall compared to the Dunlop SP9000s I have now (which are very rounded). The Dunlops or a similar profile tire might buy you the clearance you need. Since you can get them at cost, I'd just get some 285/30/18s to try out and - if they don't work - you can easily sell without losing anything.

 

I just mounted a wheel on the front with no tire. Its close, but looks like it will work. The SO-3s have kind of a rounded side wall so I think it will help. I really want the 255/35 to keep the overall diameter as close to stock as possible. Interesting thing I just noticed, the casting where the wheel bolts to the hub is very thick. If I have to I could get a machine shop to shave of a couple mm, which would give the wheel more offset.

 

RES, those are going to look ******* badass, can't wait to see them on the car.

 

Actually, 245/35/18 is a smidgen closer to stock diameter then 255/35/18 is - but both are close enough.

245/35/18 = 24.75" theoretical diameter
255/35/18 = 25.02" theoretical diameter
225/50/16 = 24.86" theoretical diameter

Actual diameters vary however, check tire manufacturers' specs on their respective websites or on Tirerack's. for example, an observation is that Pirelli Pzero Rosso's generally run tall. 25.2" diameter is given for their 255/35/18 for example (their 285/30/18 is listed as 25.2" as well). It appears that they're phasing the original PZeros out, but they still list the PZero Asimmetrico 285/30/18 having a 24.9" diameter as a comparison.
