Is anyone having rubbing issues. I have LE37T 18x9.5 +40 in the rear and Tein coilovers and my tires rub. Any advice? could I just fix this with alignment, or do I need to roll the fenders. And if either of those wont work, lift the suspension back up an inch? Thanks, ill post the pics soon, dont have them on this computer.

 

my rears rubbed but got my fenders trimmed.

 

+40 shouldn't be too bad so i would think a little neg camber might keep your tires off the fenders haha. the best way is probably to get your fenders rolled. don't compromise and make your car look like a rally racer with a tall suspension.

 

Well thanks guys any more input anyone has would be great. If someone has the alignment specs on them I would greatly appriciate it if you could PM me with that info so I can get mine similar. Or post it here...

Thank you, Dave

 

Here's some GT-7's in Diamond Black finish.

Sizing is 19 x 8.5 front w/46 offset and 19 x 9.5 rear w/40 offset.

Tires are Dunlop Direza (DZ 101)

rears are 275/30 R19 92W

 

Those look excellent in motion.

Volk Gt-v

F: 19 x 8.5

R: 19 x 10

 

that looks sweet

 

actually since this is the RAYS club ill ask u guys.....

im gettin my wheels re-finished and i have the option of changing the colour... so right now i have gun-metal, but i was thinking about going with black or a bronze colour.. should i stick with gun-metal or change it up????

thoughts???

(p.s. if sum1 could grab me a decent comparable picture of a black car with bronze rims it would be very much appreciated)

 

what kind of wheels? what color is your car?

 

its 3 posts up,

anywayz i have a black rx-8 with 19" volk gt-v's that are currently titanium gun-metal with a polished lip

 

black would be cool....but i'm not a big fan of the black on black thing. i would definately say gold or bronze but that's me...hahaha

 

this is coupe07's 8 from the far eastcoast.

 

very clean black on bronze always looks tight, nice aero parts too.

 

im trying to hold off on posting pictures until my carbon fiber ganador mirrors come in...

ill try and post some teasers when i get my car back, but i really want to show everyone the finshed project

till then youll have to wait!


I ordered gold GREX brakes 6 weeks till i see those.. but i wont make u wait that long!

 

Very nice choice...soooo dark rims on VR or silver rims (not shrome), lip or no lip?

 

One of the best 8s on the board.

Hey there guys, I have a question. From what performance shop are you guys purchasing these wheels from? Anyone that I call they tell me it will be a 60 - 90 day wait for any Volk racing wheel.

Is there a shop in the USA that can supply these wheels faster than that time frame?

Thankx...

 

Sounds about right, most people have to wait that long to recive their wheels from Japan. Unless you buy them off another memeber.
