Sportmax 002

Does anyone run these on their FC? One guy off a local rotary forum just got a set and they look killer, 16x8 0 offset and they fit pretty much somehow. Anyone have pics of any FCs with them on?

I got great deals on sportmax. Hit me up.

You're gonna run really short tires on the +0, rack up major miles that you aren't really driving.

They are probably running 195/50's or 205/50's.

That wheel looks great on a FC kinda old school.
I wonder if it would work on a FD? (let alone if you get a wide enough tire on there for traction lol)

yeah insane gearing changes with that short a tire... like hello to a virtual 5.1 final drive! for a n/a FC thats a great idea though, you do get some torque advantages with the effectively shorter final gearing on short tires like that.

very nice pictures! I'm surprised they sit so well up front, he must have the car lowered a lot and dialed in a lot of negative camber too?

those wheels are all over the 240sx scene also.
