love the wheels

[RB4Life]

Yes rims are very nice. What are your plans with it?

[jaxCoupe08]

Thanks for the kind comments.

I made a custom front lip off a 350z but never finished it. I'm looking for some nice simple side skirts and run a full diffuser in the rear. Needs to be repainted because I got scratches here and there.

The wheels, I want to buy new barrels with same size but +25 front +7rear and 225/40 stretch tires.

I used eibach / groundcontrol coil springs and the front I only used the springs(no sleeves). Rear can go another inch. Not happy with stance but rides great. Im save up for Ksports because I like tucking tire with wide wheels.

I just posted for now as a start. I'm on 3 car projects at once. Its time and money along with bad economy doesn't help.

Sick wheel setup

[Mr.Coupe]

DAMN that looks HOT. Do you have any pics from the rear of the car? I would like to see a pic from above the rear fender to the wheel. Do the rear wheels poke out of the wheel wale? Nice job. So what's next for the car?

Wheels sit right at the body and Its slightly cambered. Thats why i'm trying get wider barrels from memory fab off bbs. Its dark outside so I will get pictures for you tomorrow.

I'm going for this look

[Bmore-coupe]

Ive always wondered how those cars with the "VIP" style can turn without bending the s*** out their fenders.

Looks real good so far Jax

[jaxCoupe08]

you roll the fenders as much as you can then negative camber. Wheels look tucked but its just the negative camber, when you turn the wheel it gets close though and rubs which results to paint chipping off with tire chunks. Its usually only done for shows and photoshoots.

[alticoupe3.5]

that sh*t looks sick as hellll...i like the way they looked bent in a lil bit...u should deff do this to your A/C...deff would look sickkkk...cant wait to see what u do to it

[Rob.Vegan]

2.5 ???

What other cars are you working on ???

I love the wheels as well

[jaxCoupe08]

Thanks everyone, I found new barrels 18x8.5 +15 18x10 +7 $1200 price tag. Little to much for me right now.

My other project is a all show 02 accord sedan 4dr. Other is a 94 civic hatch. I also did the stunt bike and had to give it up after turbo'n my 05 zx6cir.

Yeah its only 2.5. If anyone knows someone selling a 80s 2dr buick regal(looks somewhat like the gtand national) in florida or georgia please tell me. Must have no rust, no major accidents/dents, and runs good einoth.

Nice wheel setup but why on earth would you want to put a aggressive negative camber? Just to make it look tucked? If so that's just insane? You can achieve this look by getting a reverse wheel setup with a higher offset and airbag suspension. Unless you have a lot of money to throw away on tires let alone for body damage of running that setup, I say look at other options.

[Bmore-coupe]

I didnt realize it until about a month ago, But there is a whole "VIP" section of NICO. The camber on some of the cars in there is ridiculous.

How did I miss that? And I agree with Dangeris, I think that it is a unique look, but personally I think that it is a waste of some expensive tires.

[jaxCoupe08]

I'm not going for the tuck look, i'am going to tuck the up to the tread portion. Tires aren't no big deal, tires like nankang don't cost that much. You got to pay to play. I got wide wheels on stretch tires on all my cars and low to the earth.

[Mr.Coupe]

Thanks for the pics I requested dude. The wheels look F'EN great on the car. Can you please take one from the side rear looking toward the front of the car? So I can see the poke sideways. Thanks.
