Your all assuming we are driving xB's that might get these wheels No xA fender flares...

PS: not serious really But we would prob. need to roll the fenders.

 

they come in 15x7 and 16x7 +15 would the xA's need to roll fenders for that offset???

 

It depends. I know that some one with 15's staggered 002's are rolled.

Maybe they are 16's.... I need to find out.

 

Hey all

Just got these all done, and put on the box. A friend refered me to this thread, and suggested I post up a few picts for everyone to see.

Lookin good!
What sizes are you running?
Can you take a rear pic from the side so i can see how they flush up in the back?
Thanks!!

 

Thank you,

I am running 185/60/15s

The snow tires are altimax arctics the rubber softens as the temp drops.


I took a semi rear shot earlier today, check it out, if you need another showing both sides let me know.

Thanks!
Am I correct that your running 15x8 all around?
I wanted to see how far the back stuck out with the 8" wide wheel

 

yes 15x8 with 0 offset, all the way around

 

after seeing these i know i will rub front and back even with a smaller profile tire but i bet the staggered 16s would looks sick with a decent drop (decent meaning slammed sitting like 2 or 3 inches off the ground all the way around)

 

Those look awesome! Running rear spacers in those pics? Any rubbage?

 

No, No spacers in the rear,

.....and so far no rubbing. .....

.....Keep in mind though my fenders have been rolled.......

 

Is that a silverstar blue turn signal bulb in your tail light? Looks nice, I'm not a fan of the Sportmax look, seems like more of a mini-truck thing, but am glad you kept it silver. What would the performance advantage be? Increased width would give increased traction on the front but I can't even get them to spin with 7.5", I would say weight savings with a smaller rim but those look very heavy.

 

the blue bulb is actually for my reverse lights.....

totally agree with the mini truck look.....I just happen to dig on mini trucks...lol...what can I say I am a product of the late 70s early 80s, always loved mini trucks.

I actually lost width I was running 215/35/18s and am now running 185/60/15s however I went from a track tire to a snow tire, so traction has improved.

My tires will spin with these new tires, and the old, strange that yours wouldnt........

...As far as weight savings the 504s I was running are 26 pounds and the new XXRs are 17 pounds...so right off the bat I lost an extra 36 pounds all the way around all most 10 pounds a wheel.....dont know if there is a weight difference between tires or not.....

I have an automatic and can't find a higher stall torque convertor, so it's tough to break traction even with a supercharger, I have 17x7.5 Enkei EV06's. The stock 16" wheels were very easy to though, I used the traction control indicator light to gauge my speed in turns with the stock ones on Don't do that now since I already ate one set of tires on the new rims in under 12k miles and replacements are expensive. Suprised in the weight savings, is the inside of the spokes hollowed out or are those solid?

 

I was surprised at the weight difference too.

as far as the spokes go they are mostly solid, there is a concave divit on the inside, but its not much to speak of....

 

Josh,
they weight diff is from 18's (lots of dense metal) to 15's (less metal)
the weight diff in tires isn't much because rubber is not as dense and you stretched a smaller tire.
I've seen 215/50/15's and 205/50/15's run on that size rim pretty regularly
either way those are nice and the weight /better gas mileage is a bonus

 

Thanks Steve!

I think that come summer I will run 195/50/15s on them.

 

i am not digging the new sport maxs they look funny so i am rolling theses

 

Are those Rota RB's? They look awful similar... I like the 4 bolt holes but not the lip as much. Good look on your BOP, looks mean.

 

looks like RS Watanabe's?????
