Ultimate wheels thread (post a pic and your specs)

[PghMiller]

This thread is to help VISUALIZE what certain wheels would look like with certain specs. I really think this thread would be helpful to all of us looking to buy wheels but don't know what they would look like on the car, or what would work and what won't. Please lend a hand to make this thread useful!

Post a pic of your car... then list the info (like the name of the wheels, sizes, offsets, spacers, tire specs, suspension/lowered specs, brake kit, etc).

I'm mainly posting this because I can't decide which wheels to go with... and even if I HAVE picked a wheel that I liked, I wouldn't even know the first thing about what sizes, offsets, spacers, tires, etc to go with... if it fits with BBK, etc (plus I would want to lower it too, but don't know how much).

I'll kick it off lol....

stock wheels, stock tires, stock brakes, stock suspension:

TSW Nurburgring's
18x7.5 w/45 offset, 19x9.5 w/41 offset
0.75 drop front, 1.25 drop rear (I think, they are Teins with Bilstiens)

I love them and they are relatively cheap and light.

It's already a nice thread which I've referenced many times.

someone please consolidate yet another wheel thread...thanks!

 

[PghMiller]

I saw that thread... Half of those posts don't even include a pic! What's the use of an entire paragraph of data if i can't SEE what it looks like? That's the whole point of this thread.
But yes, please combine the threads if that's possible.

I hear ya about the pictures. It's a little old, but it's still a lot of good information with widths, offsets, bbk's, rubbing issues, tire sizes, and drops as well. Although the pictures aren't working it's good to see this information. I think I used it as reference when searching for offsets a LONG time ago, and within the past year with trying to figure out if a bbk was possible with my old setup.

This thread is a good idea. I'd love to see more wheel pics & specs but it's inefficient to hunt around different threads for them.

Old setup blitz type 01 18x9-42offset front and 18x10.5-42 with 15mm spacer rear. Will be up for sale soon

New set up wedsport tc105n 18x8.5-32offset front and 18x9.5-35 with 15mm spacer

 

[solidol]

I think we should include weight as optional metric. Very beneficial if one does not want to end up with heavy a$$ wheels.

 

[DragonBallZ.]

Damn i thought your old setup was sick, them wedsport are just amazing, looks great! I considered them before but wanted 19" rear.

DROOL:

 

[N-Wing]

I like your new setup much better personally.

 

[PghMiller]

I agree, I like the new one much better. (although I do think the wheels are sticking out just a tad much, could be set in a little more)

I like your new setup much better personally.

 

[JoseJA1979]

Sick setup c30...

Perfect stance. Perfectly aggressive IMO
