^^thanks.

fronts 16x8 et 30 (w/5mm spacers) rears 16x9 et 30, tires are 205/45 all around.

 

wow, nice...what suspension are you running? does it rub at all?

 

thanks.

Megan coilovers.

No rubbing at all... some neg camber...and did some serious "trimming" ...and not just the plastic stuff

J

 

nice set up, i'm considering the same. are the spacers needed to clear anything? or are they just for looks. i see you said "on some pics"

 

18x8 Rota MC with 225/35/18 tires. Purchased from Dan at Mach V or fastmini.net. Thanks Dan!

 

Spacers are just for a more aggressive offset. I run a final offset of +30 front and +25 rear. Soon to be +25 front and rear.

Great wheels, i am changing the color of mine though, white takes a beating with stoptech brakes lol.

 

found this on YouTube looks great!

says he's running 17x9 f 17x10r

 

CCW are in my future!

 

I am running Vmaxx coilovers with Hsport lower arms, and Alta endlinks all around with 16x7.5 ET19 front and 16x9 ET13 Rear with no camber up front and -6 degrees in the rear. I really want to take my Vmaxx off and sell them and invest in some BC Racing coilovers though... I need the camber plates and damper adjustment. And to get rid of these fat *** front springs.....

 

looks good Nathan!

 

I forgot I can add to this thread now

Here are my fifteen52 Tarmacs in 17x8, et30 with my stock tires (205/45/17). Lowered on Megan coils with Megan rear control arms. The flat face and bulkiness of the star pattern make these look even bigger than they really are, I like it.

Sorry I don't have any real photos yet, I put them on right before Hurricane Sandy and then worked a month straight of 16hr days, now I've been trying to catch up at home and just haven't had time to shoot my own car (I've been busy shooting stuff for others, that's how it always works, photographers hardly have time to shoot their own cars/family).







I plan on doing the centercaps in gold/red over the winter to break up all that gold.

 

For the folks running 18x8's....what is the typical weight of each wheel?

I'm looking at some 18x8's and they're 25lbs a piece. Is that heavy for that size?
I believed current stock 17x7's are 22lbs each.

 

These look amazing. I can't wait till their new wheel design comes out. Do you by chance know the weight of these by chance?

 

Thanks man!
I need to get rid of that front wheel gap though then I'll be set.

 

Some really good looking minis in this thread. I have a question and I hope it doesn't sound dumb, but is there a good online store that sells wider wheels like the ones in this thread? I only ask because I did a quick search on Tire Rack and I got nothin. I'd like to see what options are out there in 15x8 or 16x8. Anybody have any suggestions?

 

I got some 15x8 from tire rack, because the fitment is 'aggressive' it doesn't always show in the configuration tool. I just emailed Alex@tirerack.com and he helped me get the ones I wanted.

 

I tried to find the configuration tool to set it to "aggressive" but no luck :/ I wanna say I've seen this on TireRack before but I can't find it now...

 

If you go to a site where you put in your make and model you won't get squat. You have to basically google search or something of the sort. Look for cars with a 4x100 bolt pattern and go from there. Type in on google " 15/16x8 4x100 wheels" I do that all the time. Or you could try vividracing.com or enjukuracing.com. That's what I would recommend. I prefer quality wheels over some tirerack knock offs. But that's just my opinion.

 

Awesome, thanks Nathan! I love my 17" ASAs I got from TireRack, but everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I guess if you want a super unique setup, TireRack wouldn't be the best place to buy your wheels, but no complaints on quality from me!

 

Yeah exactly! And i'm not going to lie, some of them look nice! XXR actually makes some nice looking wheels. And apparently they hold up pretty well. And I know they make good offsets and sizes in 4x100. While you're at it, look at Axis wheels. They have some NICE 16x8's. They just have lower offsets like 20-26. But that's no big deal. Would be flush.

 

They do carry BBS, HRE, enkei, oz etc.... Not super rare or built to poke but definitely good quality and will work with you to order stuff that won't technically fit (my track set up is 1/2" outside the front fender)

 

Hands down the best fitment on any R56
Anybody know the tire specs & offset?

I plan on runnning a similar setup and was wondering if maybe you guys could help me out here. I want to go 17x9 with a 225/35 tire but I want the lowest offset I can have so the lips are deeper but I wanted to make sure I wont have any problems clearing this wheel. I will be dropping the car on VMAXX's as well. Is there anything else I have to worry about? Thanks.

 

^^^ IIRC the wheels are 16x9 et25 keskin kt1's with falken 452s 215/40/16 on vmaxx

 

I have a pair of Falken 452's in 225/35 with about 500 miles of use that I am trying to get rid of. If your interested PM me.

 

Thanks Creeve, pm'd you. Can anyone help with the fitment question?
