wheel fitament ???'s

[Koshin]

I have 18x8.5 +27 in the front and 18x9.5 +31 in the rear of the Gloria. I need to be flush for Street Life Tour in a month. Im getting my wheels refinished and getting new tires. While they are off Im going to get spacers. What will I need to be flush? Or do I just need to measure them on the car? Im not good at wheel fitament. And no Im not going to get different wheels, I like the ones I have just need to be "hella flush" y0

Thanks wheel guys

I cant ever get ahold of Grant...

....what link?

[Koshin]

I need opinions as well.....

should I go white wheels, or black wheels, or color matched?

Im thinking white for some reason would be dope on that car....

[numbnuts240]

You'll need more then that is wanna want the / \ look.

[Koshin]

there is plenty of wheel there for the / \ look....

....I just need spacers...I can dump it on the ground if I want

[Dittoz7]

What RUCA's are you running?

[RustspecS13]

Hey you were the guy at speeddrome with the e30 right? Were you still interested in my aunts shell? It needs to be gone and I can get some under body pics if your still serious.

brushed aluminum or bust

[Razi]

Give us detailed pictures of your wheel fitment y0.

[Koshin]

in theory, every MM you add with a spacer is adding one tot he offset correct?

I measured from the edge of the tire to the fender and got some measurements....This is the size spacer I need to order right?

I have pink RUCA's, Im guessing they are Yashio...but idk

[Razi]

No, every mm you add with a spacer, you're subtracting one more from the offset.
Lowering offset = closer to the fender

Yeah, if you want your tire to sit close to the fender, measure the distance from the fender to the tire and that's the thickness of the spacer you want.

If it's too thick though, you'll need longer studs.
Also, if your spacers are thick make sure they are hubcentric, if it isn't, the weight will rest on the studs instead of the hub and you could strip your studs and you know how bad that ish can turn out.

[Koshin]

Im getting longer ARP studs anyway....I think Im gonna turn my wheels into around a +13 in the front and +24 in the back....and go from a 225 front tire to a 215 front and from a 235 to a 225 in the rear just so I make sure I can clear

I dont wanna roll the fenders on this car...that would be rediculous

[Razi]

Roll em y0, then you can get the tire right up next to the fender.
I got mine rolled by a good guy and you can't even tell.

[Koshin]

Im not rolling the fenders on such a rare car....I just wont do it...I can fix it if its messed up

I think I ll be happy after the spacers, and for minimal amounts of monies

[Razi]

For shizzle y0!

[tigersharkdude]

the gloria requires $5,000 wheels, you know that Rich

[Koshin]

the wheels it has are expensive as is....I just want them to fit correctly and be refinished....Ive just got to many cars right now haha...they all require monies all the time

my Silvia is sitting rotting right now becasue of the season of drifting haha

[Koshin]

correction...

25.4mm per inch.....

Im planning on 1.5inch (38mm) in front. which would be a +11 offset

1.25 in spacer in the rear (32mm). which is +1 offset

does that sound right? Im still confused

[Dittoz7]

Gloria's 5x114.3 right?

Look at mustang spacers they are usually cheaper.

[Koshin]

does that offset seem right to be flush though?

They arent that expensive the ones Im getting and they are hubcentric....just need to make sure the size before I order them

Im want to do this right the first time

[Koshin]

Hey you were the guy at speeddrome with the e30 right? Were you still interested in my aunts shell? It needs to be gone and I can get some under body pics if your still serious.

~Alex

yeah thats me. Man Im gonna have to pass on another E30 just till I wad the chassis I have up really bad. I just cant have another car right now. Im am out of space to keep them all.

Thanks though
