pics of elite wheels on s13 yet ? P2MS

[Eswunthrii]

I agree. What are you running? Sportmaxs? they look like the hypersilvers! i was trying to order those but a shop told me those are discontinued now, all they have left are golds and whatever but no silvers... so i waited to get some elites.

[smocan]

Yea, they don't sell them anymore... i'm gonna be selling mine soon though, 18x9.5s all around.

-------I'm sorry but the rota d2's make me wanna puke.... these are a much better alternative.

[Eswunthrii]

the tires are stretched but I don;t think i'm low enough. O gotta go lower

[Jadesr20det]

that ish looks good as is....how much lower you plan on going? i called phase 2 about 2 weeks ago and they had the golds in stock (at least that is what i was told)....golds look the best imo

[MrFairlady]

SUPER Max camber.Just realized I had the Plates maxed out..but the Bottom had like another 1-1.5+ of Neg left.A little too much on one wheel though.I don't think it clears the Spring.Going on this. Should have the rears Rolled tonight (Very well needed for 235/40)

[White Comet]

^ not to thread jack but that looks great. what all type x pieces do u have?

[MrFairlady]

All of them..including a few interior peices (Mats etc).rear valances are Replica's (everything else OEM) but I got them fitting Good after some Modifications.

The front end was just re-painted (prev had a Sileighty look) and they forgot to paint the 2 Bumper peices you can see missing...so they are painting those and the rear valances now....took them 3-4 days to paint my car..but its taken like 9 days to get those 3 little peices painted.

installing the RUCA's now to get the rears to sit better before I roll the Hell out of the 1/4's.Don't wanna get that Dent from rolling/pulling to much....so hopefully I can keep that from happning.

Thanks man.I saw your car on Zilvia and remember you getting a neg Rep from someone because they didn't like your wheels or something....crazy.

I just got a UBER rare Sticker today arrived.Its the actual "180sx" that Sits on the Center Taillight garnish.I thought it only came ALREADY attached to pre-painted Kouki tails.turns out you can get it seperate.I have the part# also if you want to get one after yours is painted...or did you get it painted?It is one of those Template Stickers that lines up where it goes for you.that completes my Exterior

Def want to paint the elites Though.Started to but the wife actually liked em Gold....& I HATE BLK w/ polished lip wheels!!!Silvier would have been fine.

[White Comet]

^ is that the sticker that goes on the part with the reverse lights or under the taillights? i might want one thoguh. yeah i got neg rep cuz someone didnt like the wheels.....that were on the car when i bought it

[MrFairlady]

Yup!its kind of a drk grey color and sits between the Reverse lights.It normally comes installed on factory colored Kouki Tails (in japan) but it actually is a decal you out on.The centers are Blk when you buy them here.

[sloweighty]

Theres a few.I was planning on getting these,....but they are Sold out eveywhere + I think a tad too much needed to make fit right

hey mrfairlady can i get the wheel and tire size on your black s13 and are you running coilovers or shocks and springs

[SketchyRollin564]

Here's one more. I'm waiting till i can get a day pic.

duuude, i dont think i want to do the five lug swap anymore

[idahotuner]

^ that picture is very hot i agree.i wish i could get lower pro tires that are as wide as the ones i have.

here are some pics of my elites.. i have had them for about a month now. just haven't posted them here yet.

the rear deff needs some camber work....ok i lied. alot of pics of my wheels.

but hey you get alot of angles.and the last pic my 275/40 on the rear.

235/40 front and 275/40 rear federal 595s

[MrFairlady]

hey mrfairlady can i get the wheel and tire size on your black s13 and are you running coilovers or shocks and springs

Thats Not my car.Those were just pic's I found on ebay.That S13 is running Wide fenders it looks like and not a very streched tire it seems.You have to run Coils w/ these wheels if you have stock fenders I can ASSURE you that.

[SketchyRollin564]

Damn, they stick out like a mofo in the rear! are they the same offsets front and back? offset looks wayyy too low on the rear

I have an S14 so it wont stick out as much... anybody have any other pics on these wheels or similar offsets on an S14? I dont mind doing negative camber by like 1 or maybe 2 degrees, but i dont want to have to pull or roll my fender just yet

Maybe these wheels arent what i want after all lol

+15 in a 9 wide wheel is not that bad/low..and yes they are not staggerd- same size on all 4.^^ his tires are just too big (for some) and it is sticking out alot more + he's basically 4x4 and no camber on the rears.275 in the back...thats about as low as he can go.215/40's on these front and rear though will fit perfectly w/ hardly any roll but Will need camber up from ALOT still.Federal Tires @ $63 each is Not bad though.

Step on over to Zilvia and see +0's fitting on stock fenders.Just need some camber...or stick w/ the the sunken madness.

You''ll have to Roll (maybe not pull) to make a 9 or 10 in +15-20 reguardless.

yeah . you hit the nail on the head i have to 4x4 to get around on my dam roads. when i burn through those tires on the back i will do 235s all the way around just in a stickier rubber. so they will fit better.

i need to adjust the camber i nthe back but everything is kidna maxed out back there. the only other option i have is to do fender flares. but i dont know if it will look stupid having them on just the back.

[SketchyRollin564]

so if i dont get bigass tires like him, they should fit pretty good?

they look sick on the white coupe, but he said hes tucking fender or somthing

[idahotuner]

you should be fin with rolling the inner lip of the fender and running 235.s

on your s14 it be different. cause you have more room in the back wheel wells.

[SketchyRollin564]

What im trying to say is i dont want to roll or pull (so that means i wont roll) untill i have ballin *** wheels (not till i have all the suspension and power **** out of the way) and probably some aero

i also dont want to run mad camber, cause thats just gay

sooo.... will they fit nice without sticking out, or are these wheels not for me?

[Kckouki]

Sketchy, 17x9 + 15 will need some camber, maby a roll, but nothing much.

1*x9 + 20 sits pretty flush on stock s14 fenders.

[MrFairlady]

sooo.... will they fit nice without sticking out, or are these wheels not for me?

not for you.W/ no camber....I don't think even a 215/40 will fit the rears w/o hitting.But Running that on F's & R's is a safe bet...but camber will still be needed. If your lowered...then the Normal neg camber from lowering the car may still not be enough.

Oh yeah,..If your on stock Struts they prob won't Fit Reguardless.I think you HAVE to have Coils for them to fit.

Damn I should have painted mine since I'm having to wait for my friend w/ the Roller.Def dont like the colors but gold is WAY better then Blk IMO.

Anyone tried to Remove a rivet yet.I stuck a Torx and it fit...but I didn't Twist it.

[Eswunthrii]

these are 215 45 17s on my elites. I'm running Powered by max coils without rucas. The rear fender is partially rolled and i don't rub at all. the fitment is perfect.

[wynnEZ]

Very nice car, love the rims and Origin tails (i think).

[idahotuner]

^^ yest that is hot. you must have soem mad cmaber to have that work for you. i think you might have me convenced on what to do for my car. next. cept 215 is to narrow for my taste

[bobbyhill]

idahotuner did you try the wheels with shock and strut and did it clear the front?if anyone has tried it let me know.buying them tomorow

[MrFairlady]

heres some more of mine.waiting on the fender roller still.But 235/40's in the rear need a roll even w/ about -1.5 to-2 of neg camber.I have 215/40's w/ about -3 or close to it.Def painting them as I don't like the gold after looking...granted I haven't seen them rolling or on the street yet.may paint them This color Fully!...or just do silver for the middles.

[idahotuner]

idahotuner did you try the wheels with shock and strut and did it clear the front?if anyone has tried it let me know.buying them tomorow

it seems to me that it would clear. in fact yes it will clear.

[MrFairlady]

Decided against the Dark color after I painted a Full wheel Dark - lip & all.If it were any other color car it would have looked good IMO:

Sneek peak @ what they are now after getting the polish back out of the one I painted's lip.I haven't peeled the tape from the lips yet,but I left them polished and painted the centers - had them Cleared today.

installing Exhaust @the moment and my 1 other wheel left to clear will be done tomorrow.
