adapters are in :)

the other set is on back order 2 more weeks till they ship out :(

oh well gives me time to get the car ready for the wheels :)

It might rub a little. The 9s sit in 7mm more than the 9.5s.

yeah thats not too bad, and im sure ill be kinda flush, no?? i might even run 5mm spacers too not sure yet

The 5mm spacers will put you within 2mm of where the 9.5s would sit. So yeah they would be pretty flush. Maybe run a 8-10mm in the rear so they'll sit like the fronts. What size tire are you planning on running?

yeah, im not 100% on the spacers yetthough, but i can always add them if i get tired of how it sits.

im planning on running stock size tires 215/45's. so a nice stretch but idk if it will be TOO much

It's gonna be a pretty good stretch. With that much you might have to compensate with ride height.

This is a 225/45 on a 9:
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l282/trmoore/SRT-4/4188039687_38fe4661da_b.jpg

The Corolla from before has 215/40s.

That's nothin for a stretch I'm gonna be runnin 205/40s on my 18x9 wheel :x

yeah i dont think 215/45's wont be that bad at all. i think the way the corolla is it looks perfect, nothing crazy or anything like that. 215/45's is good for me. thanx for the pics jon. im just worried about rubbing. i wont be slammed but 2.4 front and 2 back

You should be fine. You probably won't even have to take your fender liners out.

And here's another pic of the Corolla just cuz I like it:

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j4/ausiie36/Picture003.jpg

ooof that looks so good! i cant wait to get them, will i poke out that much though??

Nah you'll be about 7mm from being in line with the fender. That's why I was saying if you put a 5mm spacer in the front and a 8 or 10mm in the rear you should be flush with the fenders.

yeah man i think im going to have to do that. i want it to be flush. 5mm upfront and 10mm back i think ill be fine

Yeah that should be on point if my #s are right. I was using ktothesass's car to estimate. I'm a visual person so I hope he doesn't mind me using his pic:

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c390/donttouchmebia/P1010808-1.jpg

That's how the 9.5" sits with a 35 offset and no spacers. And using the offset calculator, that set up is 42mm further out than stock. The 9" are 35mm further out than stock so to make up for that 7mm difference is where the spacers come in.

that sounds right to me, hell ill run 10mm all around just to be on the safe side. thanks jon!

ill be posting these up hopefully next month. im going for a tiffany green color

ugh I just want to buy my cr-kai's! fitten to just get some torques.

^^ WOW those are really hot. Maybe you can convince my gf she needs to get a matrix instead of an xB.

i want to get mine that low but the 05-08 front end just isnt as low as the 03-04 front...

since you don't like the fogs, just get that front end and tint the fogs real dark so they aren't noticable.

Can i play?

damn look at how sunk those are in the fender! lol jk man looks good!

yaaaa boiiii!

I think marcials stick out further than that...

i think bc of the size tire he has

^hes running less camber, and also isnt as low cuz hes got bigger tires

im on F&F type 1s, fronts can still go 1/2 inch, rears have about 1.5 inches to go!

must be, cause mine look like they have more poke lol and mine are less according to offset calculator.

How much camber are you running anyway? And what size tires?

225/40/18 i believe and around 1* f 2* r camber?? correct me if im wrong lol

^pretty good, lol
225/40/18 Falken ze912's
-1.2 front
-2.5 rear

nice!!!!

^thanks!

also peeps, marcial is running a 5mm spacer up front, lol

i think i may go with a 5mm spacer in the rear later on, but i love where its at right now!

are these cory's?

^thanks!

also peeps, marcial is running a 5mm spacer up front, lol

i think i may go with a 5mm spacer in the rear later on, but i love where its at right now!


he is actually running stockies right now... he is keepin the wheels fresh

are these cory's?

yep, lol

i told him to keep it on the DL, lmao

he is actually running stockies right now... he is keepin the wheels fresh

thats exactly what ill be doing, just enjoying them for now, lol

so today i was out and about, im a rep for my company, so im putting anywhere from 100 to 350 miles a day, today i put in about 200 miles on my setup, gotta say, city driving was ok, the worst was on the highway going over dips in the road, i would hear a gutwrenching scrape, lol

at one point i could have sworn it was the lip of my wheel that hit the fender, but that was not the case, the outer fender tabs(that hold the fender liner in place) were rubbing pretty bad, so i got out some tools and did werke!

using a 1/2 inch drive ratchet i acctually did a ghetto roll/pull on my front fenders, now i have a neat little flare and much more room for the wheels when going in a straight line, i still have to be careful when turning, lol

im loving every minute of it!

what was your setup before? I had 18x7.5 on 225/40 and I stretched those same tires on my 9.5. LOL. I feel the road alot more. ): and im not even on coils. My girlfriends gonna hate my car once I get my coils.

just recently had Tein Htechs w MB Weapons 17x8 et46 w/ kumho asx 235/40/17, really liked the way they looked, but these i love, lol

i do feel the road alot more as is expected, im running slightly higher air pressure too, so that could be a contributing factor as well

gimme them back! lol

FIRST!

haha :)

^omg... i just jizzed in my pants :bow:

Hey I had a question for the people running 18x9.5 w/ low et. What camber kits do you guys have? Also where did you purchase them? When i bought my coilover the guy told me i didnt need to buy them cause the Tc had them factory. Is that true? I didnt see a thing when i installed the coils, so i called him today to order me a camber kit and he said that nothing was available for the tc. Any info please.

gimme them back! lol


NEVER!!!!

this is honestly the best purchase i have made for my tc, in like, ever, lol

whats low et? 15-25??

mines are +38 which i dont consider low offset, but the width puts them out there, stock adjustments in the rear, and my F&F camber plates in the front

for the rear you definitely dont need a camber kit, for the front, depending on how low you go, you might need a camber kit, you can either buy coils with top camber plates (F&F, Tein SSP, Ksport) theres others too, or you can buy camber bolts, they work great too!

i didnt feel comfortable leaving the wheel on blocks so i let it down as much as i felt okay too lol

theres a LOT less gap then that, the stock wheels are tucking, so i might have to raise it up, but keep in mind that is with 0 camber :)

That color combo looks sick! very nice man!

thanks :)

tight work... looks pretty nice so far deezy

word, pete can you get hte hook upz on some tyres for me :)

your lettin me down with those ebay headlights dave. :rofl:

word, pete can you get hte hook upz on some tyres for me :)

i can only do wheels.. tires is not my bag of nuts and yea.. those head lights... light them up with your candles asap lol

my fenders are slightly pulled too...with a small fender roll and little to no camber adjust these sit pretty aggro

needless to say, spacers coming and/or new wheels

hey! i actually like these headlights! the cut off is great and i think they look pretty damn good.

plus im getting a set of STI projectors (for free) and im gonna attempt to retro them into these :)

damn dave looks so fresh and so clean! haha... if you where closer to me i could get you a killer deal on tires...

what exactly are you looking for?

205/40 Yoko S-Drives

sick dave! get tires and meet me in Charlotte for photos haha.

lol yea right!

i ended up taking off the upper bumper/fender tab completely off and making 2 small holes closer to the outer fender wall and using zip ties, MUCH BETTER, no more SCCREEEEECHCHHHCHCH, on dips on the road!

^pics?

205/40 Yoko S-Drives

I just read this entire thread O.O

Although I spaced it out over a 3 day span. I'll fit in this thread next month... All of you guys are win.

Dont Forget about me now. My favorite and only good looking pic.
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r69/shinjitai1438/_DSC0243.jpg
The specs are 17x9 et14 with 205/45 falken 512s in the front and in the rear they are Drum Roll, Please.............. 17x11 et12with 235/45 falken 512s.

I think i could have easily pulled off 17x9 et0 though in the front with camber. Right now i have -3 in front and it sunk in too much even with my set up. Maybe ill add a spacer or something. And I shouldn't have pulled my rear fenders at all. They would have fit easily with enough camber. With my pulled fenders though i can probably fit et0 back there also :nails:, lol. Anyone equivalent or close to my set up? Let me know please. :)

Also heres a new addition to my collection:http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r69/shinjitai1438/_DSC0112.jpg
http://s141.photobucket.com/albums/r69/shinjitai1438/?action=view&current=_DSC0243.jpg

wow thats really wide and low offset in the rear. WIN

:love:

yo shinjitai, i think my setup is pretty close to yours.. it's just that i don't have any pulled fenders, and they fit perfect.. lol just a 215/40 stretched on a 10"

yea dude. Is it 10 et0? because that would make it equivalent to mine. You car is hella clean bro! no doubt about that.

whats low et? 15-25??

mines are +38 which i dont consider low offset, but the width puts them out there, stock adjustments in the rear, and my F&F camber plates in the front

This info gave me a good idea. Thanks. Yes i was thinking 32 or a 27 offset. So the Tc doesnt come with factory camber then?

yea dude. Is it 10 et0? because that would make it equivalent to mine. You car is hella clean bro! no doubt about that.


hahaha :rolling::lol::rolling::lol::rolling:

no it's not.. :( nvm about the equivalence.. lol damn.. i didn't know you went that crazy on the rear.. shhhhhhhiiiiiiiii

This info gave me a good idea. Thanks. Yes i was thinking 32 or a 27 offset. So the Tc doesnt come with factory camber then?

yes, all cars come with factory camber adjustments, but some can be very limited, for example our rears can be adjusted infinitely it seems, whereas our fronts can only go very little, thats where aftermarked camber links/bolts/plates come in handy

hahaha :rolling::lol::rolling::lol::rolling:

no it's not.. :( nvm about the equivalence.. lol damn.. i didn't know you went that crazy on the rear.. shhhhhhhiiiiiiiii

LOL its all good man. You car is still HELLA SICKKKKkkk. If i didn't pull the fenders before getting my wheels, i would have kept it stock and run the same set up you have.

I predicted people would go 10's though so i just wanted to be one step ahead :]

hahaha thanks man.. i think i just might have to pull my fronts and add a spacer.. i want to rebarrel my fronts and go wider with more stretch though.. lol decisions decisions..

Lol i know what you mean! ill probably just put 15m spacers up front to make them 17x9 et-1.

So are you tellin me my 18x9 +16 isn't good enough?

Damn thats pretty low.

So are you tellin me my 18x9 +16 isn't good enough?

Huh? I didnt say that lol.

lol i was kiddin

haha. Where did u get those clips of yours? I remember someone else had them but only because they had to remove their bumper constantly.

^ rhytmnsmoke and bdis had them for track use

I got them from Pegasus racing

NEW RULES

Sizing:18x9.5 +38
Camber: F:-1 R:-1
Tire Size: 275/40/18

wow is new rule my fault lol...

^^no it is just another thing people have to do to help out the stupid ___ noobs

lol, no.
new rule is no ones fault.
just going to make things easier for the mods.

hopefully it will cut down on noobs starting new threads asking for pics of rims on a car or pics of certain size rims.

it will also give everyone a better idea of what things will look like if theyre changing their setups.

i don't think these belong here but ill try haha :P
18x9.5et35 will be adding 8mm spacers, and running 225/40/18 tires

i know. lol thanks tho.

Regardless what wheel brand they are it looks sick!

they are more sexy in person.

yeah idc much about the wheel brand it looks sick none the less. hell people run rota's so who cares lol.

maybe paint the centers??

i have to say, that looks really good. pulled off nicely. as ro_ja said though, too bad they're xxr's.

God shut up with to bad their xxr blah blah who the f cares they look good and thats all that matters. Looks good man!

Honestly who cares if he chose to buy xxr's, this isn't the Baller wheel thread, its the aggressive fitment thread for tcs. End of story.

Yeah that's the nicest RS4 I've seen. That kit compliments that style wheel.

Isn't there an xb thread to post that in?


nope

Very nice Gerado Tx!
I Tried it with those wheels too last month and they looked horrible on my cs. But you pulled it off very well.

Honestly who cares if he chose to buy xxr's, this isn't the Baller wheel thread, its the aggressive fitment thread for tcs. End of story.

gerardo's fitment it spot on... regardless of what wheel it is... now if he where posting these in the high end thread... id bash him.,.. but he didnt.. he posted in the right thread

new spacers?

Naw I had the 8mm for a while just removed them after I buckled my fender, but than i made some adjustments and throw them back on. And I bought the 15mm a few weeks ago, just been messing with the camber.

looks awesome! ^^

Thank you very much....trying to compete with your stance!

^ I like yours better. It looks a lot cleaner. =D

Yeah, but mine is fake cause I use spacers. I wish I had your width bro...always loved your stance and fitment!

^^ Yeah it'd be sick to go even wider on stock body.
And it's ok, I have fake rims, with spacers. =)

Who cares, as long as your rocken them right...thats all that matters! Mine are el cheapo too..leaves me more money for mods. :)

then go make one

I plan on getting some Racelands soon to drop it a bit lower, and maybe a 5 or 10mm spacer in the back.

those are pretty aggressive nice!

that is the size i was going to get back when i wanted those. They look really good, have always liked them.

ehh...:silly:

ehh.. maybe not THAT aggressive.. but well done.. :clap:

those are pretty aggressive nice!

my guess is hes already using a 10mm spacer... dont they only make those in +35 or +48?

no they make them in a +25, they have been for at least a year now

looks dope!

my guess is hes already using a 10mm spacer... dont they only make those in +35 or +48?

Yeah, no spacers yet. The 18x8 comes in +25, +37, and +45. Do you think I could use a 5mm up front and still drop it without changing the camber?



Ktothesass, lookin clean! White on blue just works.

i love white rims.
looks dope!

minus the RS1 eh? i got my OEM jus waiting for paint

yea, im not a fan of the RS1 kit, but it doesnt look to bad on your car.

Anyone else smell rubber when you get out of your car after a trip? :silly:

^^ Yah, I smell it while driving too, usually on the freeway.

I haven't noticed it while driving, it's been too cold to have my windows down. But every time I park I can smell it and I notice new marks on my tires. :P

your suspension must be hella soft cuz at that height it shouldnt be rubbing

Haha. I hate it when I don't even hear any rubbing but I smell the tire.

Springs + 0 finger gap + -1* camber = rubbing.

+ no fender roll = more rub =)

i see tire shreads in my lip of my rims.. need to run some camber somehow... gotta do the washer trick on mine

I'm not sure if I should roll them or just put the camber at -3. Either one would solve the problem at my ride height.

roll them! keep the aggressiveness, camber will make them sunk =(

True. I gotta wait a couple weeks before I have access to a fender roller though.

^ $60 roller on eBay.. Just ordered mine. You can get a heat gun for less than $20 too.. Which means less than $80 in a fender rolling kit. Jus' sayin'

Why buy one when I can use one for free?

LuLz

didnt notice youre on stock fenders. damn i didnt even buy my wheels til i rolled my fenders. get er done jon!

I still find myself amazed how you guys daily drive on such aggressive fitments. I envy it!

Do you guys know of any 17 inch wheels with low offsets? better yet, and 17x7 with low offset?

go wide 17x7 is stock size

17x7 would just look wrong flush...skinny ___ rims you couldn't even get a proper stretch :/

I don't expect to reach flush with 17x7. But I do want to go as wide as possible in that size without needing spacer. So thats probably like +40 offset?

A 40 offset is only 5mm closer to the fender than stock. Pretty much unnoticeable.

I could always buy TCPete's BBS wheels. :rofl:

But really. If anyone knows of low offset wheels that will show a noticeable difference at 17x7 (so I can keep my new tires), and aren't too expensive, please let me know. :biggrin:

You'd have to find a 17x7 with a +10 to be close to flush. You could go with a 17x8 and a +25 offset and still keep your tires.

give me 1600 bucks and ill drive to west palm beach and drop them off this weekend :crazy:

mines were +30 and pretty close with a 5 or 10 mm spacer you'd be flush as balls @ +25 or +20

You'd have to find a 17x7 with a +10 to be close to flush. You could go with a 17x8 and a +25 offset and still keep your tires.

The tires are on 17x7 stock rims... how could I use them on a 17x8 rim?

EDIT: Google magic. "stretch" refers to stretching a narrower tire over a wider wheel, the sidewalls stretch from the lip to the tread.

It's amazing how much I DON'T know about this stuff. Will any shop do this?

Pete... If you still have these when I save up some more cash, I'm holding you to that drive. :lol:

heres my stretch 225/40/18 on a 9.5inch wide rim, its pretty comman, and looks clean imo

that is a weak stretch so a shop will have no problems doing that

some interesting pics for anyone interested

these are shots of my front left fender well, ghetto rolled and slightly pulled, front bumper/fender tab completely shaved and zip tied!

http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s222/chicotunner07/DSC_0463.jpg


rather then take out my fender liners, over the coarse of a week or so, i slowly chopped piece by piece until the rubbing on dips and bumps went away, this is what i cut out, these were low tire/liner clearance zones for anyone looking where the rubbing is coming from

http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s222/chicotunner07/DSC_0466.jpg


pic of my ghetto roll and all the paint missing is from turning, the fender basically sits on the tire as im turning, lol, its really funny when its raining cuz the water makes the tire/fender squeak! all you hear is SSSSQQUUUEEEEEEEEEEEk, lol

http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s222/chicotunner07/DSC_0467.jpg


riding on one perch, but with the F&Fs the lower mount acctually locks the perch in place, i can still go about an inch lower as you can see by the threads left

http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s222/chicotunner07/DSC_0460.jpg

^the little rust was covered by some touch up paint! and the car in the back of pic #2 is my new DD, 97 accord, sweet deal i scored, lol

I just hammered that piece up in the front and cut about that much off as well.

new tires next week (hopefully). yea that part on the front bumpers gotta go!

Good about time. And my tire shaved the plastic bumper part up front.

my fronts hardly rub, its just the stupid rearssssssssssssssssssssss

dang chico looks like jaws got hungry and swam under your car for a while lol

^lol

no joke, its a little scary down there, lmao

but from the outside, it looks sick, lol

Hey does taking one ring off the coil affect the shocks in any bad way? I just started cuting the plastic piece under the spring. It sits alot stiffer and doesnt bounce now.

you should never cut spring, theyre a certain length for a reason.
it will mess up your spring rates

No its under my springs. Its coverd by a blk ruber sleave rite above the top mounts.

^huh???

are you talking about the perches? if so, then yes and no, perches should only be removed if you still have some way of locking the springs perch in place, and no, it shouldnt affect anything

^that

ok so the purchese (rings) are ok? But i will take pics of the plastic part tomorow. Cant really explain it.

i have 1/3 rings in the rear, like chico said, you just need to make sure there is some way to lock it still.

its hard to say, because every company uses diff. designs

^that

and if there is some plastic part on your coils, im sure its probably the bump stop or something not height related, cut last i checked plastic isnt soo strong, lol

I am sure its the bump stop that i cut. It made my ride less bouncy and alittle lower. It actually rubs my fenders now. I was affraid to take out a ring from the coil.

that actually looks quite nice

Do you ever or anyone else has thought about using a heat gun to give another shape or strech that plastic liner so it dosent rub and dont have to cut it.

thanks ro_ja

you also drive and xB and all those guys on that forum thinking its ok dont track their cars or do much heavy driving... point a to point b on the low... the struts dont do any work that way... of course for some they wont complain, they know no better

that is true, but imo there is nothign wrong with cutting a coil or 2 off. if your tracking your car, then yah its stupid. but for a daily its fine. plus if you are tracking it id imagine you'd be running a decent set of coils

I wouldnt trust cutting springs or heating them.
