Hello.

im puting on a wide body kit on my car.
its 20mm wide on each side in the front and 50 mm wide on each side on the rear.




more pictures on www.turbo-kid.com

my wheels in the front 8x18 and in the rear 9x18 (275mm toyo tires. i have the tires, but can i go wider than 9 inches?)

i have plans for deepest lip as posible..

best regards

I have 18x 9's in the rear w/o fender flares. Is that a Texas License plate on your wall?

 

Gawd, with +20 F and +50 rears, you can easily go 10.0" front and 12.0" rears.
And that's a conservative fitment!

but thats not driveable on the roads in norway.
and my sponsor gave me a set of 275x18 toyo proxes tires..
i dont ned much wider, cus its a drift car.!

yes thats right. i know i can have wider, but rims and tires aren free...

Joachim

 

run a 11" or 12" wide wheel out back, just stretch that 275 over it!
those rear flares are HELLA HUGE! gawd damn!
if they are really a true 50mm flare then you can run a 18x11 with something like a zero offset.

 

You'll want to put that 275 on a 10-11" wheel. No bigger, no smaller if you can help it.

You should be able to run a 10" on a +0 wheel, and an 11" on a +15 or so.

 

Hmmm...I think something got lost in translation...
Does that mean it's illegal?
Or the ultra wide wheels will get damaged from bad road surfaces?

Off-topic...I had a co-worked named Joachim, but he was from Micronesia.
Are you a native of Norway?

Running 8" wide wheels up front with a 1" widebody?

 

damn thats a wideass rearend, nice!

 

the roads in norway are very bad!


some places is like going on a rail road, controlling it self..

im Norwegian and born in norway, like a Viking

thanks, i think i go for 11 in the rear and 9 up front..
i have sendt a mail to the wheel dealer for price on Volk GTS in "titanium gunmetal"

rynberg

have to go out working.

if youre gonna shell out the cash for Volks then it wont be much more $$$ to go 11.5 instead of 10" wide. or at least find a 10.5 wide wheel, thats common size as it fits a 315 perfectly.

and for a drift or show car the 275 would be better off on a 11.5" wide wheel anyways. you can run 275 all around, with a 10" front wheel and a 11.5" out back, that would be AWESOME.

I run a 275 up front on my widebody FC and its on a 17x10 wheel, nice fit on the rim.

damn that road is HARSH!!!!good luck on your project!

 

These wheels is what i had in mind:



cant get the wider than 11, on size smaller is 10.

maybe i go fore 10 up front and 11 in the rear.. if hvaent got any answeres from the wheel dealer..


as you can see here, i hade to cut out the original metal fender so that the wheels dont rub.. the i mold the wide body into the underside also..



sorry for my bad english!

but thanks to every one helping me out..

What kit is taht?

 

the chargespeed kit looks amazing.

you really need to go wider on the wheels. like 9-9.5 on the front and 9.5-10.5 on the rear, at least. i would say wider if it wasnt for drift. it wont look good with skinny wheels and yea if you have to its no problem to stretch a narrower tire on. you can get as low as a 225 on a 9.5 inch wheel which is about the same as you would put on an 8 inch wheel, but you can still have the option of way wider tires for the track or whatever.

what wing do you have, rotary extreme?

 

the wing is APR GTC-300.. Bought it used from a toyota supra all i had to do was to buy new base stands.. These wings are in VERY good quality, same with the charge speed kit!

but i think about 10 inches wide in the front and 11 in the rear.
then it wont look to skinny... maybe i buy anothter set of wheels for the rear only for drifting.. the same wheels only smaller..

someone who knows what ofsett i can go for in the front?
in the rear you guys are talking about from 0 to +15 with 11 inches wide.

how can i realy measure? do i have to go from the brake disk(were the wheel sits) and measure out to the fender?

Joachim

 

I would DEFINITELY say run a 18x10 in front and 18x11 in rear. Run the 275 on the 18x11, it will be a nice fit.


I know FD fitment is higher offset than FC, but with that big of widebody, you should have no problems fitting 10 and 11 with about +0 offset on both.

 

one more thing, can someone tell me what kind of coilover setup this is?
i have never seen black tein`s before..

Upper plate i cusco:


spring is swift:


and shock is tein:




i swaped them with the JDM car im selling, so now the JDM car got tokico suspension..

Joachim

 

Those are Tein coilovers with Swift springs and Cusco upper mounts. Very similar to what I have on my FC. Swift springs RULE. they are so ******* awesome. HUGELY better than any other springs I've ever used.

 

i havent tried them yet, but the car is SOOOO much stiffer!!!
Now im molding on the bodykit with glass fiber..
and making custom bumper canards in carbon fiber..

hope to post some pics on my site tonight..

Joachim

 

Now i have asked Rays in japan and they start making Volk GTS in 18" in november, sinces now they only got 19"...

more pictures on my site!






Sorry guys, but i cant take pictures off my self working, but yes i do work.

Joachim

 

With the awesome fitting wheels, you're gonna need a wider trailer!!!!

 

That trailer is to narrow for our camaro..
its made for europeen cars n:

Then i drive it on the streets
its going to be license plates and fully legal car..
Street and track legal

 

That's what I like to hear!

 

whoa, nice setup, looks pretty nice, the front end is beautiful!
have fun with it!
