haha i do the same thing, and mine don't even protrude out at all!!

 

anyone have a setup with these specs?? 18x9+37 18x10+37

 

Those are no problem on your coilovers. To really dump them low, run 215/40-18 front tires and 235/40-18 rear. I'll be searching to find out which wheels you're looking at.

Found them; still looking at Rays cheese graters, I see.
Super nice price for some seriously nice wheels! (Better than the last set of SE37's that only had 5 holes.)

 

Anyone see a problem with running 18x8 +33 offset?

TireRack.com recommends 215/45-18 tires (+40 to +45mm offset though), what do you folks think?

 

215/40-18 would be the size tires to run with +33 offset. Whether or not you will rub, or maybe need to roll your fenders, will depend on how low you are dropped.

 

Tenzo Project 7 18x8 45mm. I originally wanted the cuzco, but i'm not feeling em after seeing em on a porsche.. lol Like xtaylorx, my spokes stick out waaaaaaay to far... total paranoia...

 

Actually... it's xtylerx, but I'll forgive you since you have good taste.

 

Whew! I can finally post up pictures of my box now that I have some real wheels instead of the steelies!!

The wheels are Volante Torinos 18x7.5 wrapped in 235/40/18. The drop is Eibach Sportlines.







The pics from my Droid suck. They don't do it justice. It looks SO much cooler in person.

 

I'm glad you like it, but you will soon find out how badly those Wanli tires suck. When you're ready to replace them, step down to 225/40-18 to avoid rubbing, but a better quality tire will handle better anyway.

 

@CIONIDE: They actually ride pretty decent. They still feel stockish. They came with the new wheels as part of a package, but I will wear those out before I get new tires. Rather, real tires. Lol

 

HAHAHA sorry brutha.. my bad...

 

They fit here is a pic of my 18x8x32 on a DF210 Drop

 

Here's a pic of my old wheels. XXR 962 18x8.5 +35 215/35/18 front and rear. Droped on Tanabe df's

 

I'm actually feelin' this... but I think you need to slap a 10mm spacer in the back...



Hey lv08xb, you and 08bspxb are making me miss my DFs fo' sho'... The only negative thing I didn't like about the DFs were the spring rates--I thought they were too soft. Where are your new rims???

 

I'll take some pics when I clean the xb, its been raining here in Vegas!
Wheels are 5zigen fn01r-c Matt black 18x8.5 +38 225/40/18. Just some random pics untill I drop the rear more(ksport coilovers)

 

Loving all these new editions! Anyone with 18s and painted or TRD calipers? I've been thinking about doing something with mine, but not in yellow (it'd be too much). If they weren't detrimental, I'd love to have drilled and slotted rotors on my box.

 

Painting mine as soon as the weather gets a little warmer. I'll be posting pics when I do.

 

No it wouldn't, with your wheels, I think painting your calipers yellow would not only look great, I think it's mandatory to compliment what you're going for. You can stop your internal dialogue now, you're wrong, get over it.

 

Yeah, but doesn't caliper paint fade and chip away?

This is a different car, but doesn't this look kind of cheap to you? Does everyone agree that I should paint my calipers yellow??!!

 

I say paint em yellow if you want to, its about what you like, screw everyone else. And if you do decide to paint em go with G2 Caliper paint, they gaurentee that the paint will NEVER chip or fade, they do have yellow amongst many other colors.. Complete kit around $50, thats what I got, again just waiting for better weather...
