Rejoice, you cheap 4 luggers!

[simmode1]

$399 for a set of 4 16x9+15? Steal!

it is a good a** price but i hate the way the spokes/face of the wheel like bubble out, like reverse concave to give the look of havign more lip.
id consider buying a set if they were just flat faced.

I was just having this conversation on Zilvia actually. You're right, those G6 have some hella nasty convex poke going on! The wider 526 sizes have convex spoke poke too, but not nearly as extreme as those G6's...

G6 convex spoke poke


Versus 526 convex spoke poke...


Comparatively, the 526's poke ain't too bad. I actually like it. In motion, I'd think it would create a more textured/contoured look. Kinda like a dome effect. Some ppl like flat faces, I like a little poke there. Like some ppl prefer flat lips on their deep dish wheel, I prefer a steeped lip. All just a matter of preference really.

But either way, at least these wheels don't have convex spoke poke like the Godspeed Omegas...

I still think these are sexy wheels though...

Yeah those sizes are a lot more realistic. I have my doubts about it even being possible to mount a 215 on a 10" wide rim, and even if it could be done, how long you could drive on it before the beads broke loose. And I know what you mean about the stock motor thing, mine is just bolt ons and you have to REALLY be trying to break them loose on dry pavement with 245's on the back, talking 4-5K rpm clutch drops and lots of throttle. Sure does stick well in the twisties though

Yeah, I have no interest in drifting so rubberband tires are useless to me. I just wanna get low enough to tuck slightly stretched, modestly wide tires under stock fenders and corner like my S13 is a HotWheel car in the hand on God...

[slikklogic]

215's on a 10" wide rim? WTF? seriously? Why the f*** do you guys feel the need get get the rims soooo wide and then put tires on them that would properly fit a 7" rim? Why not just get the 7" rim in the first place and save yourself the trouble and money? This whole stretched tires hellaflush thing is beyond me.

mostly its cuz i already have a brand new set of these tires on my 17x9's now and i dnt wanna buy them again but im also skeptical of a wide wheels like this having rubbing issues.i have rolled fenders but ehhh i just like streches idk why..

Also, I think alot of guys who think like this want to look aggressive, but still need to be able to spin their tires with a weak stock motor, so dinky tire sizes are helpful to them.

and i do have a stock motor.i had the car like 4 months.turbo kit is mostly assembled already but im in no rush i gotta different race car already running this car is all for looks

[SX APPEAL]

So then get the 17x9's... at least you know the tires will "fit"

[simmode1]

Or stop being cheap and get wider tires. I mean, this is only the most important part of your car's safety features we're talking about here...

[Hijacker]

I would definitely rock the 527.

[slikklogic]

So then get the 17x9's... at least you know the tires will "fit"

naaahhhh lol 9's arent enough.

and ill get other tires later.215s do fit. and im sure it will break necks at a few shows.even with a 45 profile its not bad


see http://www.tyrestretch.com/10_215_40_R1 ... 17.jpg.php

[SX APPEAL]

ok that just looks fcking stupid and I'm done trying to talk sense into you. Have fun "breaking necks" at the shows, hope you don't break your own in the crash you will inevitably have when those beads break loose...

[slikklogic]

lol its only for alil till the tires are worn. they might be bald before then from sliding around

[pj]

it will break necks at a few shows

i was with you till that man.

but really, who gives a damn if this dude wants to roll the hippari style or whatever. no body cares. its been done, hundreds of times im sure. maybe itll work out fine, maybe he'll lose the bead and kill a rim.
personaly though, i wouldnt run on the street with that much of a stretch...if it was on a spare set of busted wheels to play on i wouldnt care at all about it...but on my everyday s***, no thanks.

[94_240sx]

Dang!!! I can rock these powder coated in white. Great looking wheel.

[2slowdy87]

Simmode:
yes im a noob when it comes to wheel fitment and tires.
im a girl so dont flam too hard.

Im looking at the 527.
not really wanting to pull the fenders ( i know they'll need to be rolled which is fine)

s13 coupe. im on coilovers. have RUCAs. pretty low.

thinking about 17x8.25 +25 up front
17x9.75 +25 rears

Will I need spacers? I want to sit flush.

and tire sizes? dear lord tire sizes. i dont like ruberband tires. i like a little bit of meat on em. lol

Thanks

[Gabes13]

Really depends on your tire size, but most likely you wont need to. 235/40 and 255/40 probably?

girl that rocks a 240 hottt.lol um check it ma, go to rimtuck.com and go to search .type your car and any size your looking for. i dont get too specific with the search but each person set up will tell you and tire size with any spacers and camber settings along with pictures of of course.

[pj]

um check it ma

smooth

Hmmm... you're from my home state, so I guess I'll help out... lol j/k

Yea, the 17x8.25+25's with 215/40/17's up front will be a safe bet. But you know what they say: No guts? No glory.

Sounds like to me, you don't wanna pull fenders, but you're ok with spacers? Were I you, I'd get four 17x9.75+25's and four 15mm bolt on spacers. You'd need at least a +12 offset for these to clear most coilovers. 15mm spacers would bring you to an effective 17x9.75+10. Throw 235/40's all around with about -3 degrees of camber and that should about do it. Oh don't forget to roll the fenders though.

Here what a 17x9+12 with 235/40 up front looks like with -3 degrees of camber:


The setup I proposed would give the tire a nice, sublte stretch should should be about as flush as this. His front fenders are only rolled, but his rear fenders are pulled since he has 17x9.5+12 with 275/40's back there. With the spacer effective setup of 17x9.75+10 all around, you might be able to fit a little wider tire in the back, but I'd say "You gotta crawl before you can walk" and go with 235's first. If you feel brave enough to go wider in the back, some 245's might fit.

What's everybody think? Yeah? No?

[S133P3R]

- Run extended coilover brackets to 'create' more backspace between the wheel and the coilover.


To my knowledge, Megan is the only company to market extended brackets. So if you don't have Megan Streets or Tracks, you're screwed and will need to fabricate your own brackets. For this reason and this reason alone, I'm buying Megan coils over brands like Stance, PBM, Fortune Auto, or KTS.

ohhh very nice.


and the wheels, ill come back for later.

[OutToWinPAHC]

I ordered the 527's as track wheels... yes to clear coils in the front with 17x9.75 you need a 15+mm spacer. I ordered the 9.75's for the rear and the 8.x for the fronts. Gonna use these as my attempt to drift wheels.

Where in TN are you from?..
Thanks so much for the advice. Looking like i need to run 17x9.75 all the way around to roll with the big dogs. lol
Yes the fenders will be rolled. Gotta friend with a eastwood fender roller who's gunna hook me up

Only thing is... that car referenced is not that low. i am much lower.
Will that affect anything?

[simmode1]

I'm from Memphis...

If you're lower than the car in the pics, the fact that you're stretching 235's onto 17x9.75's (thats damn near a 10" inch wide wheel) might save you. Hopefully, -3 degrees of camber will be enough. The more negative camber you dial in, the less fender work you gotta do. But -3 degrees is already at the limit of what I'd personally feel comfortable with...

But c'mon... a girl with a low a$$ 240?! You KNOW we wanna see pics!

[2slowdy87]

lol. thats me in the avater.

this is not my first rodeo.

i'm on my 6th or 7th 240.

ive had an sr, ka-t, and rb25.

lets just say im addicted. cars are my life.

No offense, but I'm not a leg-humper. I meant pics of your cars. I'm sure alot of us would love to hear about your 240's, since you seem to have alot of experience...
Maybe you should make an introduction thread...

SMOOOOTH.....

[the a3k]

gotta love hot girls with hot cars. or even girls that love hot cars. my gf texted me from work saying that there was a 240 there and she thought it was mine, but then she said mine was a lot better

[simmode1]

Ok you easily distracted guys... back on topic...





From what I'm hearing, the 17x10 526's will have a 3.5" lip and the 18x10.5's will have a 4.5" lip. The 20x11's are the one's with the 5.5" lip.

[the a3k]

I like the 18x9.5 or 10.5. I kinda like the 521s better though

[slikklogic]

girl with 240's is well worth the distraction. even tho everyone more interested in meeting her then helping her lol
