are they fitted yet!!!?

 

Nope nothing yet there seems to be a hold up Iam patiently waiting LOL iam actually growing pretty fond of the hamann hm4 or pg4 and try to get the best stance out of that might need some spacers.But haven't made that decision yet.

 

I just mailed billy,

If there is a chance... ask him if there is ANYTHING he can do for me!

thanks!

Well looks like the 4x100 are gonna be a pretty long wait and no ETA or none at all that really really sucks BUT were gonna try and fit the 18x8 5x100 with lug adapter and some other adjustments. We mounted the 5x100 18x8 to see how they would look with there current offset of 35. The stance looks pretty awesome. Here are some pics taken with an iphone one of the pics is really crappy but ill post anyway.enjoy

 

 

 

 

What do you mean by "and some other adjustments" ?

Looks great tho!!

Coen

ps. keep me posted!

 

Iam going with 20mm lug adapters and we are machining just a couple of cm behind the wheel where the lugs would go. 20mm adapters are being made today but they are coming from California .

 

All that work to fit the reps? Might as well have just gone with the real thing in 18x8

 

Tru, but that is a pretty big difference in price dont ya think?

 

Ok guys need some advice with which tires and sizes to go with I know nothing when it comes to tires. Here are the specs of what I will be running
18x8 ET35 with lug adapters which are 20mm. Iam looking for the tire that would give me a good amount a strecth. Any input would be appreciated Thanks

 

I ran 215/35/18 on same size wheels, nice stretch but not ott.

 

I'd go 215 for a slight stretch, or 205 if you need a lot of stretch

 

Rally/roffas sounds good looks like 215 would gimme me a good amount of stretch that I would be happy with but now what about 215/35/18 or 215/40/18 and which type of tires would be good for mostly daily driving?

 

Falken 512's are awesome for daily driving and they stretch VERY well (and it's a good shape for stretch). They're no longer available, but they still sell them brand new on ebay....check to see if they have the size you need

High treadware, quiet, good price, nice dry and wet handling, awesome stretch....good all around daily driver tires

Yes, they replaced the 512's with the new 912's....but the 912's don't stretch very well...so see if you can find some of the 512s that still havent sold yet.

Ohhh....and definitely 35 sidewall. I'm not a big fan of tall sidewalls on 18s

 

Cool thanks for all the help cant wait to get these wheels on the mini
Rally- you've seen the specs Iam going to be running do you think that Iam gonna have some rubbing issues I just Installed M7 springs ?

 

I'm not very good with 18's as I've never really had any experience with them (I've run 15s,16s,17s only)....but I would say you'll be fine and shouldn't rub. The offset is good for the wide width

Konky over on M|U just installed 17x8 et35 and they fit very well....he's running stretched 512's too

 

Checked on ebay for the falkens but no luck Ill keep looking but I guess if I cant find them I might go with General exclaim uhp just gotta find out if they will stretch well also

 

You should be fine regarding rubbing, really depends on tire shoulder profile. I ran Toyos T1-R's, nice rounded shoulder. I'll hazard a guess that you might rub at the back when the suspension compresses as I used to with a 3mm higher offset.
