I'm thinking about getting the Sportmax 002 rims and i was curious if some people could post up pics of their 240's with these rims... and i heard that the 15x8 Sportmax 002 stick out some and that i would have to get fender flares... where could i get these and about how much will the cost???

You won't have to get fender flares if you dial in some negative camber, and slam your car.

They do NOT come in Gold. I wish they came in 16, however 15 isn't bad.

Our sponsers sell these for $91.00 a piece + Shipping + Tax. Check second page for other Sportmax post for link.

With 205s, -2 front camber, -1.6 rear, and rolled fenders you could pull it off 15x8+0 fitment easy.

My friend didn't have to roll his fenders to make them fit, he just dialed in some camber, but a roll job is good to have anyways.

"dialed in some camber"? lol.

Well if he is running like -2.5 front and -2 rear, then yeah, they will fit. However most people prefer not to run settings like that on the street.

Hmmm, Question about camber work. How would you go about changing camber on Stock suspension S13. Eibach Sportlines Kyb shocks about to get C-Tune RUCA's if the guy gets back to me. Are there aftermarket Camber Adjusters or can you do it on the stock suspension. I guess I have to get the rims prior to getting my car painted. That way I do not have to worry about paint Cracking. I will talk to my uncle to see if he can roll the fenders along with the painting.

The RUCA's you're about to get adjust the camber. You can adjust camber on stock stuff, but not to the degree where it's really noticeable.

Will I be able to adjust it to the proper amount needed to run these rims problem free? If so then great.

LOL why are you buying aftermarket RUCAS if you don't even know what they do?

Btw, C-tune rucas suck.

Stock camber adjustment will NOT be enough to fit the Sportmax on. You will need RUCAs.

How come the C-tunes suck. Well Rear Upper Control Arms, I just wanted to make sure that you can adjust them. I didn't know 100%, didnt know I would get laughed at, well its NICO should expect it. And I am not buying them, tradeing for them. If not SPL here I come. I am either getting these or some Wantanabee Wannabee Fast Forwards.

From what I have heard, the C-Tune ones cracked quickly, go with Kazama, Battle Version, or I recommend, SPL ones (www.splparts.com).

Thanx #12. I may just have to go with SPL. Only reason I would have gotten the C-Tune was because I was tradeing them for some of my old Paintball Stuff. I do not have the 260 for the SPL but guess I have too.

Oh yea, I forgot about that. Everything I have seen other then sportmax's website are only the 15's. I want the 16x7 but they only have a 1.5 inch lip. So I will have to go with the 15'z b/c I want lip and they have the 3.5in lip.

Yep its like +40 thats why i would not get them. +0 on the 15's. I think I am going to get Fast Forwards. If you look on sportmax they look hot on the XB but on the Corolla They look really weird (002) That is why i want to see them on an S13 itself.
