Hah, Matej's car IS my inspiration. I'm just really iffy on having a -15 9.5J (though it looks SICK). I'm not trying to pull my fenders. Test fitment already pokes them out so I'm gonna run 225/40 in the back with a roll and a bit of camber.

You should've gotten more spacer for front, rear will look good but front should have 5-10mm more, maybe throw a sandwich on your bolt-ons for that little extra bit.

Also there is no reason to not pull your fenders, you're going to end up with quite a bit of camber in rear and not much in front to fit that.

I don't understand what the point of this thread is....

Are you just telling us that you got new wheels and spacers?

I already got a pair of 5's for just in case.

So why buy wheels new and need to use spacers, what about get getting a pair the fits right the first time?

because they don't make them in an any lower offset set up.

I believe the original size is 17x9+35 18x9.5+35. Adding the 20mm up front and 25mm in the rears makes it effectively "+15" and "+10"...

even though the thread title is a bit deceiving

They certainly look nice and have a excellent price point, but there are big negatives to them as well, like tricky fitment and their sheer weight.

I get tempted to buy a set everytime I see someone that manages to get them fitting right...

^ The guy I went to to pick up my hood from had his coupe set up like ^ just gunmetal not silver. They fit awesome. Just a hair higher up though. He was runnin baller weds before too. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do right? I think he sold them because he wanted a 2jz sc300 lol.

Btw, how much do they actually weight? I hear they are SUPER heavy.

They already need at least a 7mm spacer (iirc) to clear coilovers so I said fuggit and got larger ones ? Oh yeah, nice konigs in your sig.

Lmfao, my dude look at your car:

Says the guy with stock alloy's and nosebleed ride height. What, you think you're all big because you have SPL tie rods and you autocross ? Go suck a d!ck. (no offense lol)

And I took the plunge to buy them. For the price of one new work wheel, I can replace all four XXR's.

The average joe walking by would think I spent a good amount of money on them and never be the wiser. Only thing people really have against them is their weight. Even people with Work or Volk wheels use spacers for fitment purposes. Koguchi's 180sx (one of the SICKEST S13's ever) uses spacers to fit his Nismo LMGT4's nicely under the overfenders.

Sky high?? sure, Its lowered to the point where it just barely makes it up on an alignment rack, and makes it over the entrance to my apartment complex by about a centimeter. Why would I want it any lower?

I would rather have stock wheels then heavier ebay nock offs that stick out of the screwing car so I can impress highschool kids. Stupid offsets to mess with steering and over sized to make any decent tires $20 more each. At least I am not paying to make my car look stupid while having to buy more expensive tires and doing stupid things to my cars scrub radius.

Me suck a d!ck? Your the one with the fanboy c*** in your mouth.

Awwwwwwwwww, look ! The anti-conformist 240 owner got butthurt ! Would you like a hug now ? Question, what wheels do mine "nock off" of ? Oh, that five spoke wheel over there ? Oh, I see. BTW, for the price of the same 15" tires my friend got on his honda (where 15"s belong), I bought the same for $10 a tire more and I have 17/18.

Thank you for calling every good looking S13 stupid, BTW. It seems you are the only person that prefers the sunken-battleship-15"-nosebleed look.

Don't cry, it's just the internet.

Dude it was a simple question, I didn't pay for those nor say hey look at those. If you knew anything about my car you would know they are only on because I went to 5 lug when doing the brake swap and needed something to make it moveable.

But for real who buys wheels NEW and needs spacers. You were better off just getting something that would fit first off. So instead you show everyone looking for praise and opinion and when people ask why or give opinion you ***** up. Don't be such a little girl and clean that sand out of your vagina.

lol speaking of don't cry...

Bottom line... your wheels are cheap crap, you have huge spacers and the fitment looks dumb.

I am not saying stock fitment looks amazing, but at least I didn't spend close to a grand on looking trendy.

Try not getting so huffy when you ask for opinions and get them. Don't worry the import lifestyle kids still think your car looks tyte.

*****, relax. I made ONE jab at you for having Konigs and you're the one that took it to heart. I answered your question, yes and took a small jab at you, yes. I know you already have a beast motor under there and would never hold Konigs against that. My comments were directed towards Red Coupe. I take people's opinions (especially from this forum) with a grain of salt.

If you give opinions, yeah, I respect that. But if you start something up and put yourself on a pedestal with nothing to back it up, what do you expect me to do ?
