Terrrrry Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 D1 Pete, what are the specs on the rims/tyres? Oh...and impulse buy...KICS lugnuts, 22g each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1 Pete Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 When you see little puffs of smoke coming off the rear tyres when going over bumps... you know you have baller fitment :) specs on rims are 18x9 +24 and 18x10 +24, tyres are 225/40/18s front and 235/40/18s for rears but thinking a 225 mite be the go next time... but im still going to add a 5mm spacer onto the fronts for more offset appeal B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dis-lex-sic Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Why only 235 rears? Factory 18s & 19s are 255 rear. Wider looks better on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProjectIS Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Why only 235 rears? Factory 18s & 19s are 255 rear. Wider looks better on the rear. Its the "baller" look mate!!!! As much rim lip as possible so that the lip is in line with the guard!(Hence maximise drop)... (Personally not my taste, but each to their own)!!! 235's are ideal on 8.5's!! Nice coils!

Atlantis Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 http://www.google.com/images?oe=UTF-8&gfns=1&q=VIP%20car%20japan&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=2560&bih=1407 Typically the "VIP" look in Japan. Ultra low, massively negative camber... stereotypical "dealer" looking car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilv1004s Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 bahahah the baller look you need mega wide rims with low offset to start off with and baller wheels :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dis-lex-sic Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 So far it sounds like tires too narrow for the width of the rim...so that the side wall of the tire is on an angle rather than vertical? is that the look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
