Default 20" System Forged SF7 test fitment (w/pics)

I got the front and rear wheels on. Unfortunately, the rears need about a 5mm spacer to clear the caliper as they barely rubbed them. Until I get the spacers I'm not running these wheels. I took some pics with my phone real quick though. Let me know what you think.

Also, do you think I'll be alright running a 5mm spacer in the rear on stock stud length? It seemed like there was plenty of thread as is. Thanks.











The wheel with better lighting:

They look awesome! 5mm spacer shouldn't be a problem at all. Now you need to drop it a little.

Those wheels look sick! Black rims are the only way to go on the obsidian F.

Nice rims. I wouldn't run the spacers if I didn't have to tho. It's awesome see the F with those exotics.

I have to run the spacers in the rear because the wheel spokes are barely rubbing the caliper. I know this because I tightened the wheels all the way to the hub at 76 ft-lbs of torque and put the car in neutral. The wheel would rotate but I could see and hear it rubbing against the calipers. I figured 2-5mm of clearance would be sufficient to give it enough space.

Yeah. By the Galleria. I've been in the STL car scene for a while. Maybe we've met. I've had a modded S2000, Evo, S60R, BMW 335xi and an AE86 corrolla...

I was living in Florida up until a year ago, was down there for 5 years so I've been out of the game for a little bit. Too bad about gateway shutting down... that's mostly why I'm parting out the 335 since I have nowhere to run the quarter and find out how fast it is. Time to move on to the IS-F with these new wheels and the ISS forged exhaust i have being fabricated right now.

Holy cow STL my old stomping grounds. My wife is from Town & Country. Im from 45 min. south of the lou. We've been in N. Dallas since '01. I started in the car scene in St. Louis used be part of team up there. Used to hang with the "Lightspeed" crowd off of Olive. Also have the ISS forged exhaust. Was one of the first with the tester exhausts. Great product / Great company. Now if I could only get some of those wheels.

yeah. that shop went out in a blaze of glory owing a bunch of people money and work... seems to be the norm around here. Only a few shops around here do reliable work on a steady basis. Gateway shut down so I could definitely see aftermarket enthusiasm going down a bit in this area too. I know that's half the reason I'm parting out my 335. No where to race it. I'm modding the IS-F just because I hate the exhaust tips. LOL
