guess what I just bought! (cheap)

[Fenvy]

used set of 18x8 buddy club p1, no scratch, they came with brand new dunlop p9000 225x35x18 tires, all for 600$ cash

this is what it looks like

I don't think it's stolen, the guy has a jdm 180sx and he's now riding on bronze gram lights after he did the 5 lug conversion, which is why he sold the wheels.

:ylsuper

well.... now to beg the question, it should fit my car, right? right? :pface

[240sxGT]

Like em, nice find. Now get them on and post some pics!!!!

[crzycav86]

If it fit his car, it should fit yours too.. I guess.. What's the offset?

[AZhitman]

Nope - They won't fit.

I'll give ya $700 shipped!

[Fenvy]

oh boy oh bot they fit perfectly even with a 2 inch sportline drop

[Anand]

what is the offset?

you got those for a steal!

[Fenvy]

Wheel Size 18 x 8.0 H/PCD 4 x 114.3 Offset 42

[silkk]

very nice find

[BuudWeizErr]

tire sidewall is too low and offset is too high. go with 225/40/18 and buy some spacers.

those sound like they were originally on a honda or something.

[Fenvy]

ChunkiDori:

what should I do with these tires if i decide to get new ones? they are dunlop p9000 and they are brand new...

how thick of spacers do I need? (front and rear)

[Anand]

come to think of it...CD is right....I would say you would need atleast 10mm~20mm spacers... and yes, 35 is low of a side wall..

I have about the same or I had about the same...

[BuudWeizErr]

I dunno... sell them... burn them up as drift tires.. your call, your car.

but if you have stock suspension (really any suspension, but more accentuated with stock), when you put them on, you'll notice more fender gap.

spacer size... thats your call. if it was me, I'd do 25mm spacer all around.

[Fenvy]

hmm, the spacer would be a good idea, I am really scared to push the car right now through corners because I don't know what might hapen.

I remember that you suggested http://wheelspacers.com/ for spacers?

what is the down side to riding on 35s? earlier I thought the tires were flat when it is not, lol. yeah I think I wouldn't mind yokoavs es100 in 225/40/18

this thread is useless without pics:D

what does that mean? having a high offset doesnt make your car unsafe in any way, stock wheels are +40. if anything, spacers will make you car less safe, not more.

[Fenvy]

I meant that maybe I'll rub something, not sure. Need more research first...

anyways, here she is

[Fenvy]

how would these spacers work? looks like the existing wheel studs will stick out and hit the wheels which prevents the wheels to be mounted in the first place.

[BuudWeizErr]

no

the existing wheel studs will be flush or close to flush with the old spacer. plus most aftermarket wheels have notches in the mounting face for extra studs in this exact situation.

i know my FN's have them.

[AZhitman]

Those are 18's?

They look small. My 18's on my Q look bigger, even on a car that's twice as large...

[Fenvy]

yeah they are 18s, maybe it's because of the angle?

[easymmkay240sx]

He's right, those look tiny....

[roro240]

maybe its shadow angle and lighting 0_o.
