hey muladesigns1...what size are your wheels and the offset

 

17x7 et40 maybe?

 

yeah 38 works just fine. Mine are 17x7.5 et38 and are right on the fender

 

the thing is that your car is the R56 model...so would it be the same for the R53

 

I never checked. they came with the car. I just took them off to paint them two weeks ago. I wanted to check but got so involved in finishing the project I forgot to.

 

haha nice one..but overall it looks great

 

thanks, I was concerned about the gold rims with the white stripes, but I think it worked out well.
I just didn't want to go black rims. they have been done to death, and i like more color in the rim area. Black seems to blend in with the pavement to me.

 

Man, better get mine fitted first!!

 

what do you mean better get yours fitted first? LOL

 

so here is the thing...i cant get a 38et...either a 35et or a 41 and that offset i will have a 1 1/2inch lip...do u guys still think it will look good and will it clear my brakes or i have to get spacers

 

et35 will require at least a 205/45 tire smaller. et41 you can go 215/45 or maybe a 225/40 or 45. neither will have inner clearance problems unless you have a BBK.

 

it is best to have more tires than less tires right? or that is all on the tread wear

 

 

hahah this guy...o well it will look nice but how much did u get yours for and what size is it?

 

18x7.5 all round - fronts have 37mm lips, rears have 50mm lip. Just waiting on a new BBK as they don't fit over my AP's.

Here is a small update to my car ...

18x8 +27 Front
18x8 +32 Rear







Zero rubbing

 

yay....my wheels are coming soon..once they are on, I'm gonna post it this sat hopefully

 

EXPERT OPINIONS NEEDED FOR NOOB:

I have:
07 r56
18x7.5 Drag wheels
235/ /18 g-force bfg tires

l like the "offset/spacing" but have no idea what I need
(optimum fitment to work with TSW's. i think im going with them, too)



unrelated:
i have magnaflow custom catbcak and forge bov and am looking for BURPLE
what do i need? intake? more? thanks in advance

 

man...im so sad right now for hoping to get my wheels this sat before the meet for Monday but the shop where I'm getting my wheels at have been busy.i have to wait till tuesday

 

GP Wheels 18x7+5mm H&R Spacers
225/35-18 Tyres
To be honest I really don't like the "fat man in a small coat" look, my next tyres will be 225/40-18 .
I really really wish the GP wheels were 17x7.5, then I'd put 235/40-17s.
