Reminds me of my Lowrider phase that I was in for a couple of years. The worst part of it is that I was in Japan at that time and was driving a bad ace Toyota Crown with V.I.P. kit......that I had painted blue with purple pearl.....and then a ton of that rainbow flake.....and then some 100 spoke knock offs I hate myself for that one sometimes LOL.
ENJOY HAHAHA......



Anyway here are some pictures of my new wheels. I only have the fronts on for now because the rear is nowhere close to fitting. Fender roll and pull next week and probably some negative camber.......


FRONT FITMENT.....





HERE IS THE REAR! COULDN'T LEAVE THEM ON BUT THEY WILL HOPEFULLY BE GOOD TO GO NEXT WEEK

SITTING ON THE TIRE WHICH IS NOT GOOD HAHAHA

 

you need to do something about that driveway, haha.

 

It's my buddies shop LOL. I have a paved parking lot at my apartment.

 

are those the ESM rs replicas?

 

hey i have 17x9 et28, im looking for a medium stretch on the tires, trying to get in this thread! What would be your guys opinion? Btw you guys have dope @ss cars!

 

^ Also depends on what tire you had in mind. Different tires have different shoulders and stretch or don't stretch depending on the tire.

 

Yeah good eye! I like them so far. Can't wait to get the rear put on. Here are specs....
17X8.5 +20
17x10 +15

 

Oh yeah and they have been painted pearl white.

 

Most of the peps I kno that run this size usually use 205 and get a nice stretch but if not go with 215 those are meant to b mounted up to 8.5" inch rims so obviously won't b much of a stretch but like Trdscion stated depends on the wheel brand cause some run thicker then others and what not. Check out this link gives u pixs so that way u can get an idea of the stretches

I think i might go with 215 but not sure if i should go 215/40 or 35 but if i go 35 will it affect my speedo etc?

edit: For the tire brand im thinking of getting falkens, toyo, or federals

 

Recommended is 3% within standard size (not sure how the hell they calculate that) but either way you'd be fine. with a 9" et28 I might say 35 just for that extra clearance. But definitely do some research.

Falkens get a good stretch, Toyos as well but I think they're a bit wide. A co-worker had a 9.5" on a 225 or 235 and it was a mild stretch. Feds run wide that's what I have and I got a 215 when I had a 225 before knowing how they run and it's about the same. So I'd say a 205 in the federal but probably 215's for the others like a FK 452 or 912 or a T1R/Proxy.

 

Oh alright, i think ima go 215/35 thanks guys. Now lets see some more pics!

 

Federals along with Toyo run wide so I would suggest going with 205/40 but if you go with falkens then 215

 

Alright ill prolly go with falkens, another noob question my bad lol i put on my wheels and noticed i need to get extended studs, so how do you know what size studs you need?

edit: Nevermind i found the answer on a diff thread

 

Yay, I can finally post my car on this thread!

 

^ nice how you liking the miro's? I thought about getting a set of those ended up with a set of cheap drags until I get the hang of this whole fitment thing then I may also cop a set of these or get something more baller, but I like the way they look on socal, jaewrek, jeremydoc's ride, and now yours what size tires your running btw 205-40-17? anyways nice pick up looking good man....

 

thanx man, I really like em. They're flashy for a "fake" wheel. I actually got these from Jaewrek so same wheels different car. I was always looking for a staggered look. Figured that "most" people had problems with 18x10s with buckling, and 17x10s can give you the same height drop as maxing out 18s while raising it a little to prevent buckling. My fronts are 215/40r17 and rear are 225/35r18. I'm still learning this whole fitment thing too man so you're not alone, knowledge is power!

 

LETZ-GO Wheels look pretty sick how's the ride and what coils are you running. Nice setup

 

Almost done......still a little rubbing but it's getting there
