holy shietttt...those are some frikking crazy offsets you've got there....i would love to see how it turns out

 

I feel like those wheels were kind of a waste to get in such a low offset because the face looks like it could be a 45mm. I would have gotten TE37's or RPF1's which look dramatically better in low offsets.

 

if you looked at my work vs-xx thread, i did the fender work then. my old set up was

19x9 +21 R disc
19x10 +23 O disc

i probably wont be needing anymore fender work, just stretch and camber

 

wheen will you have pics up..? im dying to see it how it turns outt.

 

wow

sick wheels

even sicker offsets!!!!!!

 

How much did you pull your rear fender? and what tire size will you be running? I like where you're heading with those wheels, it should be very nice once it's on.

Please exit this thread.

I've removed a bunch of off topic and personal commentary posts - please back on topic

 

cant wait to see these on the car should be a crazy sick setup

 

the front and rear have been rolled moderately. no fender pull, yet. only if needed.

tires will be:

Falken FK-452 (strong side walls)

215/35 front
235/35 rear

 

tires are getting mounted this week. car is going back into paint to install new front bumper and repainting front fender and door because of dings.

everything should come together very soon. if you guys are anxious, how do you think i feel? haha

updates very soon

 

dude I saw the thread bumped up with your user name and got excited thinking you just got done posting pics

can't wait it's going to be nuts

 

Falken strong tire walls? first time i hear...hahaha....they bubble to easily IMO...

anyhow, can't wait to see the final outcome!!

 

almost everyone I know with FK452's has told me that they've had their sidewalls bubble when stretching - but I've done some stupid stretching with them and never had any issues even on road trips of 3000+ miles
guess I have just been lucky

 

Same here no problems on mine

 

actually im not a first timer. iv stretch all kinds of tires. dunlop, pirelli, michilen, continental and so far i think falken and generals (suprisingly) have the stronger sidewalls. having your sidewalls bubbling all depends on the stretch. if your stretching a 225/35 on a 10" wide rim, then your more likely to get a bubble but it was probably caused by a pot hole or bad roads.

stretch + pot hole = bubble

if you daily drive like i do and can avoid horrible road conditions, then you should be fine. i try to memorized the roads in the bay area
