my new set of wheels and tires finally came in :biggrin: ...i wanted something a bit more aggressive than oem, but i also wanted black wheels that weren't a freaking arm and a leg....that combined with the limited selection of staggered wheels sizes and offsets for our car made this an enormous PITA....Dave from Wheelsto.com was kind enough to put up with my grumpy, impatient ass...here are some pics.....i'm posting this not to show off the wheels/car (well, maybe a bit heh) , but honestly for others to make an informed decision on what something looks like on our car.... I had a helluva time trying to understand offsets, etc and what would work for our cars....first, the specs...
95 T - with Tein S-Techs/ oem shocks
Work Emotion CR-Kai - powder coated black from the Work factory
17x8 +42
18x9.5 +38
no spacers
Continental Extreme Contact DW
215/40/17
265/35/18
Muteki black open-ended lock nuts
things to note: the pics are large so no one has to squint/sit closer to the pc...hate that....the first fancy pic is of my wheel after Work powder coated it and shipped it to wheelsto.com.... it was difficult to take decent pics of a green car on an overcast day....it had a half-assed alignment when the pics were taken...fixing camber this week....there is no rubbing, tires are quiet and grippy...i love them so far....the rear wheels could stand to come out maybe half an inch to be flush with the fender, but honestly that's good enough for me....anything is better than the oem offset after being dropped an inch...
and yes, you need to click on the FILENAME to view the pics....enjoy...
HERE THEY ARE
