VIP or not, those are nice wheels

 

=) yeah I love them, I just PMed Henry about them. You think I can get that stance that the VIP Style requires?

 

Hey I have the same wheels

 

really? Same size and everything? If different, will spacers cover for it?

 

v8 is running 19's with way more aggressive offsets and he's on air, so stance will def be different.

 

Mine are 19s with a different finish. It was fitted for a 350Z, as aggressive as that is, I still had to get spacers (25mm front and 15mm rear) to get my fitment right.

 

Thanks,

Do you have recommendations on what size spacers to use for the VIP stance? Thanks!!!

 

I'm not even close to being an expert, but I do understand that "bippu" wheels tend to have more of a full face vs. a spoke style face.

However, stance is a very important aspect to "bippu" so if you get your lowering/air bags and offsets correct, you could pull it off with those.

 

Thanks for the info. I really like these rims, and I'll be picking them up this weekend from Henry. I just wanted to make sure that it is possible to have the bippu stance with these rims.

 

I think wheel design is strictly a preference. I've seen a lot of different designs in magazines and online pics, and I think people are more concern on fitment and stance. The only thing that I haven't seen (and probably for good reason) are the more organic design.

 

yeah I noticed that too. My brother in Japan sends me all the VIP magazines and they put on some wheels that most people wont even consider over here in the states. So I guess it's up to the persons taste.

On a side note, I really like these rims, and I hope to put spacers, air ride, and fender modification to make these fit like a VIP Style

 

I dont think that should be a problem. You might want to consider getting thinner tire to get max clearance.

 

Thanks! Good thing I work for Yokohama and I get 3 sets of tire per year. =)

Another question is...what Brand (yokohama) and what size tires should I get for these wheels to get max clearance? Thanks!!

 

that's right, i totally forgot about poy!!!! now you have a great reference to see what kind of spacers you need to give it the right stance

and 3 sets of tires per year?! man, they don't burn so fast right?

poy can comment more, but i believe yoko's tires (advan) are usually on meaty side? i don't know if you can stretch them well?
