those are hot

 

sorry, attached is the pix

 

What are the specs of the wheels.

these are sick!

 

rishie, here are the specs on ther rims

18x8.5, +30mm offset, 225-40-18 tires
18x19.5, +35mm offset 255-35-18 tires rear..

would that fit on the 8?

 

idk about the 35s, but the 30s will stick out about half an inch or so. learned the 'hard' way.

btw, such a coincidence that i decided on these wheels for auto-x, but i read they are 43 offset. unless you're talking about the hp lightning?

 

^^^ ahh icic... those specs are for the 5zigen... man, if its going to stick out that much, that blows...

since we are on the subject, would a set up of 18x7.5 in the front and 18x8.5 in the rears be bad? looking at a set of works that was on a s20000

 

it shouldn't be as long as the offsets are okay. a lot of people run staggered. i thought about it too, but i like to be able to rotate before every auto-x. idk, still up in the air for me.

those fn01rc's are cool lookin' in the silver anodized finished, huh? great price too. how much are you finding them for?

 

i think the offsets for the work rims were in the high 30s to low 40s, so they should fit...

yea, i really like the fn01rc's, they are the silver ones... this guy local to me is selling his off his car for 800 with tires... the tires are near new with only 3k on them...

but the offset sux or i would get them in a heartbeat.. it would look pretty bad huh

 

the offsets for these wheels, fn01rc's are 43...which should work fine...

 

^the guy that is selling them is taking it off a nissan 240... he said the offset for the front was 30 and rears 35... it should say on the rims what the offsets are correct?

 

eeesh, lame. nah, idk about it saying on the wheels. i just search up the wheel itself. never hurts to just try one on for size, just in case he's wrong or something.

 

i love my 5zigens and am running 18x8.5 +38 offset but if i were lowered, had a more agressive offset, or went wider i'd definitely have to roll the fenders.

^^ Thanks.. Nice pics... the seller is willing to let me put the wheels on to see if they fit and i probably will do that... but with the offsets he has, i dont think i would be able to drop it, that would be okay though.
