This thread is funny.

 

I'm currently running 17x8.5, though just ordered some Enkie PF01 15x8s w/205/50 for a little cushion on the Boston area roads. They will be here by the weekend....

 

I can finally post pics of my car in this thread woot woot!

Linea Corse MC (BBS LM Rep) 18x8 ET42 Front, ET45 Rear.

 

Wake,
Ride looks real nice! Photo is nice too! Do you know of any local shops that do good work on minis?

Thanks, NIck

 

http://flic.kr/p/8uGBSLI need advice on adjusting my camber, front and rear please...

 

Camber is not gonna be enough to help you with that one.

 

Rally, what do you mean by "help you with that one" ? I'm very happy with the overall stance. Would like some neg front camber though.

 

 

15x9's

 

haha alright

 

I respect your opinions though so any advice would be appreciated

 

this is the silliestfunniestlolz thread i've read in a while.

 

Bump for some R55 / R56 / R57 examples other than the 5 owners that posted.

Let's bring this thread back to current!!!!

 

Any CCW wheels in here? Went as far back as page 14 and didn't see any. I'm thinking of a 17x7.5 or x8 all around with 215/40 rubber.

 

MisterDangerPants, any pictures of the 15x8 PF01 wheels on the car?

 

Here's my 2008 MCS. Only regret with these wheels is the offset. I wish I could trim about 3mm and tuck the wheels in just a bit more. Otherwise, love'em. Besides, a little stretch and poke never hurt anyone.

Wheels: MSR 045 - Hyper Silver/Grey
Specs: 18x8, +35mm offset
Tires: 205/40 Nankang NS-1
Stock suspension.

I have seen two or three mini's on CCWs. 18x8 and 18x8.5

 

There is some goofy sh*t in this thread haha, I mean to each their own, I suppose...

I'm kind of looking at ESM 004s, LM reps but in a bunch of different sizes. 16x9s with some 205s would look nice, lowered of course.

Decisions, decisions...start rebuilding an '81 DeLorean or modding an R53...

 

Alright, alright, guys. Let's all be nice. :P

I'm actually looking at saving up for some BBS RS wheels or some old Corvette wheels:


I am getting coilovers very soon (H&R 1.5" drop is not anywhere near as low as I'd like to be). I am also buying some wheel spacers. I'd like to be somewhere around where the guy with the Vette wheels is. How many mm do you think would achieve this?

What considerations do I need with going very very low? Not quite as low as in this pic, but pretty d*** low.

 

coilovers, vmaxx and ksport go really low for a good price, im on vmaxx. my wheels are 8" et30 there pretty flush in the front but tuck a lil in the back, its all cause of camber. hope that helps

 

You can't really do a static drop that low on an r56. not on 16's anyway. On 17's you could get pretty close but you are still looking at over 4" of drop. At just over 6" of drop your subframe will be sitting on the ground.

 

I have 17s. I am about to get some vmaxx and some spacers. Will that allow me to get really low, or will I need other things?

 

running 205/40/17's on your 17s will help with going lower.

Half of that blue car's lowness comes from having such small tires on small wheels.
