What do you tin of these wheels?

[2k5Rex]

hThey are Hasemi 6-spokes... 17 x 7.5 +29 up front and 17 x 8.5 +32 in the rear.





Secondly, I would like to get your opinions on fitment... I think the rears should be pretty flush, but have been told the fronts may appear sunken... maybe a 5-10mm spacer would help that?

Thanks for the help!

i tin dey look de pimp! yeah, your gonna need spacers up front

[2k5Rex]

With a 225 tire on the front would a 5mm spacer do the trick or do you think I would need a 10mm?

sooner or later naed240sx's gonna pop in and school you on that, lol...imo, 225 on 7.5 is more than you need.

[2k5Rex]

Looking forward to it... I am still trying to figure out what exactly works.

[nismofly]

15mm front, 5mm rear and theyd look quite nice

as far as tires, id say with those sizes run 215/45/17 front and 235/40/17 rear

[turboboost]

those are really nice, do you mind me asking, where did u get those?

[2k5Rex]

Got them at http://www.rbmotoring.com

I should be getting some rubber on them this week... coilovers will be in end of this week... then I can finally have it put all back together

I wanted to avoid using too large a spacer since I plan on tracking the car pretty often. I'll guess I'll just get the tires on and mount them to see where they are sitting...

[nismofly]

the rears will sit more flush than the fronts because of the sizes you got, the reason i suggested the spacer sizes i did is so theyd sit fairly even

actually now that i think about it you could probably run a 10mm front instead of a 15

any spacer is going to be worse than no spacer, the minimal differences were talking in material (1/2 a cm) dont make much of a difference

although bolt ons are much better than sandwich spacers from that standpoint

what kind of tracking are you referring to? circuit stuff? if thats the case youd probably be better getting a set of dedicated track wheels to run just at those times

[2k5Rex]

Yeah... time trials. I live out in Las Vegas, so I am 45 minutes away from Spring Mountain Motorsport Park... where they had the redline time attacks last year right after SEMA... it was covered in Modified Magazine.

I think I might end up doing that... just pick up a set of dedicated track wheels and using the Hasemi for good looks.

[nismofly]

thats the stuff ill be doing soon, trust me youll want a set of tires you cant run on the street once you get to the level of running redline and stuff

lower level TT though youll be able to run a high end street tire, like hankook rs2's

[2k5Rex]

Definitely... I am no where near the level of the redline time attacks yet... but I have run my Subaru out there a # of times, so I am pretty familiar with the course. Just wanted to start building something that was less expensive to modify and wasn't going to be a daily driver... this way I can do more to it and not worry about the reliability as much.

[turboboost]

plz post pics when you mount these bad boys\!

[2k5Rex]

^^^ Definitely!! I can't wait to see them myself.

[boznuttz]

pics or ban!

[2k5Rex]

FINALLY!

So, I got the coilovers installed, tires on the wheels, and wheels on the car... just need to get the brakes bled tomorrow and I can drive the sumbitch!

[turboboost]

Dude thats beutiful!!! the only thing though is that the fronts need a lil pushing!!! so mmmmaddd props!!!
