GOT SOME NEW SHOES!!!

I'm going to put them on by monday. Just have to get tires and then cut, roll weld and what not to the fenders to make them fit!! what do you guys think of them?

I NEED HELP!!! CHECK OUT PAGE 2 AND LET ME KNOW WHAT OTHERS HAVE DONE. THANKS

 

nice rims

 

am i missing something here? I was expecting to see some seep dish but i see none. With a 9.5" wide wheel with a et-19 you should have about 5"of lip. and with a 9" wide wheel with a et-13, you should have about 4.5" of lip. Why do i not see either?

 

I may be missing something too... but 4x114.3 aint gonna fit.

 

I take it that you have wheel adapters? The xB bolt pattern is 4x100.

But yeah! I love those Rota RBs. Basically, anything that has the old school Panasport look. (^_^ )

To answer the amount of lip, I guess its because of the wheel design. Just like TE37's, you dont get that much lip with a wider rim and lower offset. You get concavity. You may not notice of some of the concavity of the rim from the angle of the pic. Just my thoughts. Heres another pic of different sizes and you can tell me what you think.

I have 4x100 to 4x114.3 15mm adapters from Project Kics to be able to mount them up. I wanted the rims because they look good. IF YOU WANT EM, MAKE EM FIT!!

Thanks for the compliment. I really appreciate it!!

I will have pics up very soon. So if you are interested, stay posted.

Thank you much.

 

nice. post pics when they're mounted!

 

Wow, yeah, you are going to need adapters. This will make them poke like hell, unless you run flares AND camber. Boo on the lip as well. I have 15x10-15 on my rears and have 7". Guess it's all in the design.

I also have 15x9 -5 in the front and they poke past my flares. You have -8 more offset, and with the adapters, you are going to have alot of trouble.

Yeah I do have the Kics Project 15mm conversion adapters. I also have the box in the shop to get the fenders beat up just to fit them. I hope the car comes out the way I imagine it to be. As for the lip!!! LOL. I think the lip is beautiful. I know they are not as big as they should seem with the rim and offset but whatevs. If the face of the rim was flat I think that the lip would be pretty big. I like the look of the rims and it suites what look I want in a rim, sporty and stylish thats not too crazy. Again just my thoughts.

-PICS WILL BE UP SOON!!! I HOPE.

 

BUMP!!!!

 

I wish it was that easy... I need 4x100 to 5.114.3 to do what I want and I cant find them at all...

 

Wow cant wait to see them.

It shouldn't be too hard to fine the adapters. You can get them from Project Kics. That is who I went with for mine. Try to ask your local shop if they can order them. Where are you from?

 

Oh by the way I just got the tires mounted yesterday and brought the rims to the body shop to get fitted for some new shoes. I can wait to see what they are going to look like on the car. Hopefully they come out good because I have a show to go to in Reno next month.

 

in for pics.

Well here are some pics from today. Not much but this friday is when we start doing some work on the fenders to do all the fittings. Goodbye stock fenders and hello future flares.







Sorry for posting too much with the lugs. I just thought it looked nice.

 

i like the concave on the wheels. excited to see them on the car.

 

nice color choice. liking the lugs as well. where did you get the lugs if i may ask ?

 

Thank you. I cant wait any longer.

They are actually Wheel Mate lugs from Mackin Industries. They are supposed to be $95.00 but I got them for $75.00. I was going to get the freakin 300 dollar chrome volk lugs but i kinda like the way these look and they were much cheaper. Also not too many have them, so Ive heard.
