I've realized that i should go for 18"s because i barely want to lower my car. They are perfect for getting rid of that wheel gap. I've found the set i want...

I'll be getting 18x8.5's all around if the offset is just right. IDK what offset is needed for 18's. Are these usable? or do i need spacers or something.

 

et35 (the ones you posted) is perfect for 8.5" wide wheels if you're willing to stretch with 215 tires.

 

You're still gonna have to lower it to get rid of the wheel gap.

 

So much for me being unique... I'll be honest with you though: it's a real pain to fit them unless you've got adjustable control arms, camber plates, and a ridiculous amount of patience. I'm really low on Megan coils btw. They wouldn't look good at all without being low. If you don't wanna get real low, go with bigger wheels like the 18's you mentioned.

 

^^lol my wheels arches are hanging off too

 

x2, depending on the tires you get, odds are, overall diameter will/should be the same.

 

That's the way to be! Lol...

 

delete.

 

So guys i bought H&R springs temporarily. And im getting Keskin KT1 16x9 R 16x7.5 F. I know its still not gonna look right but ive got a tune coming in and cant afford coilovers yet. After the tune im going to buy coilovers within the next couple months, along with control arms and all that. Im just buying a rear swaybar, the keskin KT1's, and using them with the H&R springs cause I heard they wont rub with the H&R cause its not low enough (Still alot better than 4x4 ride height)

 

This set-up has been pretty popular through the years

 

If i start getting mad tickets left & right, i'll probably switch to 15x8's again lol. Or just get some wide flares.

 

^^I dunno how it is over there, but I get pulled over alot for my headlights (Im actually rocking some clear ones now to please the man) and they've never said anything about my wheels/ride height/tire stretch.

 

Yah, but your wheels won't poke as badly as his 15x10's are going to

 

wtf. cops pull you over for that?

 

I dunno. I've been running it for years without a single problem.

 

Apparently in California ALOT of people have been getting pulled over recently and cited for things like Ride Height, "Wheels extending past the fenders," and "Tires being too small for the wheels."

 

It's bound to happen as stance gains in popularity...especially in California. So thankful I live in a state that doesn't care

 

Diamond racing wheels told me that it will be 10-12 days for shipping. I've just called usps and they told me that it will be 4-6 weeks! If I knew it wouldved taken that long, I wouldved went with the faster shipping! :-/

I might get bored with my 15x10 setup & do this to my mini...


Most likely i won't though. haha!

 

Lol, i should put this on my car when i get the 15x10's.

 

Wouldn't you need your MINI to have a stance in the first place.

 

Wheels alone do not a stance make.

haha

 

Ah lol. So i must get coilovers? Anybody used airbags on a mini?

 

where do you get MINI owners patches...ie ChiliRed Owners Club patches and badges? Help

 

Rally is on bags

and yes, you need more than wheels to have Stance.

 

That's a question for a PM or another thread.
