kk heres is the lowdown. I am looking for wheels. So far i am going for
Drag DR-31
18x9 all around
i have the choices of 18et, 28et, 38et
which would you guys think would work for flushness?
planning on dropping it on tein s-techs later if not coils

also do i need to change lug nuts? i know nothing about lug nuts and i would also like to have some good looking nuts and locks too...

Thanks!

btw i need to be educated on tire sizes and stretch too!

 

You can't go wrong with muteki lug nuts

 

Btw, the thread pitch on the lugs are 12x1.5 if you didnt know that

 

Muteki lug nuts from NLmotoring -- got my purple ones for under $40 on sale

Tein STechs -- Buy em from me, cheapest price and look new

Drag DR-31 18x9 +18 would be my choice, but I don't think they will look right on just springs, for your application +28 would look good, but you would need a mild stretch and some fender work if your running STechs, +38 would be your safest bet though with the least amount of problems...

The whole flush, hellaflush look doesn't look good IMHO unless you can go low enough either on coils or air. Having a 9'' wide rim with a stretched tire looks whack if you've got gap showing...

Just an FYI: willow was running 9" wide +35 offset wheels, 225 tires at all for corners, with DF springs (almost the same drop as S-Techs but a little softer spring rate) and he had rubbing problems.

Kingshawty: if you want the best general all-around set-up in the DR-31's for either springs, or being able to drop it really low on coilovers or bags, then I would suggest running staggered with 18x8 +35 up front, and 18x9 +38 out back. Just my .02

 

i dont think muteki lugs fit with drags just an FYI.. I have the DRAG DR 31's myself and even my gorilla lugs wont fit..you need a super skinny lug i just ordered some diff ones off ebay to see if they would work..and project kics wont fit either..

 

weksos should have something that works:

@cionide, i need 9 all around for the concave
@jeremydoc, ya i read something about having to have a safe and secure wheel we need to have like 12 threads or something.

and it looks like i may have to go 18x9 38 front since 18x8 35 is already flush, and maybe 18x9 18 in the rear.
@eman I understand what you were talking about stretch and stuff. i saw darren's while he was still on springs and it was ehh.. idk still doing research.

and @cionide thanks soo much for all your help, i can't believe you arent annoyed at all with me always asking questions like these xD thank you master.

 

@master cionide thanks for that link! who knew nuts could look so sexy! xD lol

 

That's what she said.

 

Literally the LAST thread I read, I saw you talking about how your dad is the only one with a job in your family and you are currently filing bankruptcy, and now here you are talking about which rims you are going to buy for your car? I guess at 16 I wasn't real smart either, but holy ***** is this dumb.

He's a dreamer with ideas and diarrhea of the keyboard. Since it's an illness, I cut him some slack.

Sometimes I am, but I know you aren't feeling well (see comment above).

 

Lol that's what my dad tells me, well the dreaming part that is. I'm working to trying to get a job for some more cash, lol there's a reason why I'm looking into drags and not some sbc rpf1s xD those are the wheels I really want xD

and lololo at a few posts above! XD I don't remember it saying it that way!

 

And pork we are still in the process Dx getting close though! ;) most likely I will be paying for this, but I need to find a job Dx

 

I hear flipping burgers is a great job for a 16 year old lol. I hated... Infact we all hated it but money makes it all better lol.

 

I'm down to work at taco bell but my mom don't want me to work in fast food....
